Fantastic location right on the harbour, lots to see and do within walking distance. Located in a building separate to the main restaurant/bar, so no issue with any noise. Lovely breakfast in the restaurant each morning. Note no parking and your best option is the Harbour arm carpark, which is £20 for 24hours.

All was just delightful. Staff were friendly, helpful and efficient, location was close to perfect, room was very clean and tidy, small, indie shops close by. All made for really lovely weekend. The only small criticism we had was the sound quality on the TV. Thank you Rocksalt. We would definitely return.

Lovely restaurant and a great room. We were initially surprised to find that the rooms are in a separate building to the restaurant but this didn't dampen the experience. It's a very short walk and still on the harbour - in fact it was probably better for us as coming and going was so quick and easy. The décor in the rooms is excellent and the service was lovely. We were leaving early, before the breakfast service, so we were offered a lovely little breakfast hamper which was delivered to our room.

Lovely little guest house. We stayed in the Kitten room. There was a fold out bed as well as the double and single, so we managed to squeeze four in. Ideal for a short stay and the restaurant staff were super helpful and friendly in helping us get settled. Breakfast was also amazing with a great view.

Difficult to find, on a fishmarket, no way to check in earlier then 3pm (even when the room is ready), but Folkestone is great, that makes it more then okay! Room is small but very cosy. No closets, bathroom is small and not practical. Good bed, super view, great (expensive) diner at Rocksalt restaurant. Very nice stay

Lovely rooms for a short stay in Folkestone and a fantastic breakfast. Only small comment would be that in the summer when the day starts really early, the shutters don't really block the light so we were not able to have much of a lie in - although this is personal preference and only a small comment on an otherwise lovely stay.

Tout était parfait. Le personnel est accueillant, les chambres sont magnifiques ainsi que la vue . Les repas sont délicieux. La seule chose c’est qu’il n’y a pas de stationnement sur le site. On doit aller dans un stationnement payant juste à côté.

Great location, attached to fab restaurant so breakfast was delish but best of all I left my jacket in the room and Leon the manager called not long after we left and arranged postage. We left Saturday I had my jacket back Tuesday. A1 service.

Small room but extremely high quality for the price. Very comfortable bed! Luxurious wet room. Could not fault this Hotel. There’s also an amazing (award winning) fish and chip shop a 30 second walk away! Can’t be bad!

Veldig hyggelig sted med super belligenhet. Super frokost. Rommet var fint og nyoppusset, litt lite bad på vårt familierom, men pluss for at de hadde familierom. Spiste middag der også, den var glimrende

Lovely rooms in building near main bar/restaurant. Parking a bit further away (on pier) but was fine. Restaurant was excellent (but expensive). They delivered breakfast to our room as we left early - nice touch

Rocksalt is unique and charming. The guest rooms are housed in a separate building across the small street from the restaurant which also serves as the hotel office. Our small but comfortable room was rustic with exposed brick and wooden beams. We has a wonderful view of the harbor from our Juliet balcony. We enjoyed a great dinner and excellent breakfast at the restaurant.
