Dover Marina Hotel & Spa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

The room is quite spacious for UK standards, and the bathtub was very comfortable. The location is also great; you can walk to the castle and the White Cliffs along the coast in about fifteen minutes. I would definitely consider staying here again on my next visit.

This was pretty much the only option for an overnight stay in Dover, as the other small hotels are even worse and not worth considering. The service was excellent, and the facilities were relatively new and complete. The location is superb. However, the building itself is very old. I'm not sure if it's subsidence or a structural issue, but the entire room was noticeably sloped. Walking from the door to the window felt like walking uphill, no exaggeration – a very peculiar experience. The faucet in the sink was poorly angled, causing water to splash everywhere. I wouldn't recommend it if you're sensitive to noise. The old building has terrible soundproofing. You can clearly hear every creak from the floor above when someone turns over in bed. Housekeeping sounded like a battle, so forget about sleeping in. There was a bloodstain on one of the pillowcases and a small stain on the sheets, but I couldn't be bothered to complain. On the bright side, there's a fantastic Italian restaurant to the left of the underpass exit leading towards the main shopping street. Highly recommend it!
