I have stayed at the southcliff many times over the years and find it absolutely great for what I need. The staff are always friendly and helpful and made me feel welcome as always. A big thankyou to the lady on reception called Shiril who was very pleasant and helpful with an issue I had with the room so thankyou so much. I love the location of this hotel and the view looking out over the English channel and able to see France on a clear day. At the end of the day it's a budget hotel and like with everything you get what you pay for, but in all honesty it suits my needs and I usually stay for two or three nights. The only disadvantage is that they don't offer breakfast but not really an issue as plenty of cafes etc in the town which is literally round the corner. It's perfect for a short stay and to be fair you are out and about most of the time so a perfect base. I will certainly be returning in the not to distant future and would recommend this hotel. Oh and try and book a room with sea view as better than looking out over a carpark.

Great place to stay for a weekend of music on The Leas, nice balcony room with a sea view, no food but a well stocked bar, would recommend for a weekend stopover

This is our favourite hotel we stay im Folkestone. Staff are so friendly & welcoming. They have a lovely bright reception area, tv, and a bar, lifts assessible to your room. Rooms are clean & tidy. Tbe hotel have been undergoing some modernisation, but this will take time. It was originallly five townhouses, so bare with the manager, this will take some time. You are a stones throw from the Leas Cliff Hall and the beautiful walk along the Leas as well. 2 minutes on foot & you are in the town centre. There is quite a bit of work going on in and around tghe town. We can't wait to see the finish, very exciting for Folkestone. There are many bus routes if you want to head out of town, there's a train station not far from the hotel as well. Plenty of bars and an array of shops. There is a market some days as well. Heading further down the town you will come across the Old High Street, a cobble road with art shops galore and many other quirky shops. At the bottom you will come to Folkestone Hatbour, look it up, it's welm wortba visit.

Our room is always spotless and very clean. The hotel is gradually removating the rooms. The staff are so friendly and accomodating, nothing is too much trouble. The views if you are staying in one of the rooms with a balcony are amazing on a clear evening. The town centre is a stones throw away, if you go down the old cobble high street you cone to The Harbour.

A very nice stay at this wonderful hotel A caring ethic which to me is so important these days The cleanliness is amazing and the reassurance of a reception that is manned throughout the night Any needs met at a very competitive cost And not forgetting wonderful sea views and it’s right near a fantastic theatre and local dining - hairdressers- the Knott who are very Green which is great and local Tesco All needs met basically with 100yards The hotel is very reasonable and if you want a lovely meal - the Voco an IHG hotel is metres away Enjoy your stay

Friendly staff, clean room, very comfy bed. The outside looks delapidated and carpets in the passageways are old and a bit grubby. The lift was small and the lift doors could do with painting. The signage could do with updating. They are obviously trying to upgrade everything but the room could have had a new lampshade on the room light and pull string in the bathroom. The room wall table could do with a paint or restaining. The wardrobe internal shelf should be painted.
