To say this place is 1 star would be too generous.Turned up to front door to be greeted by 2 guests comparing bites they got from their beds and be told leave your valuables in the car as it would be safer.Your and said air conditioning but what we got was 3 open windows.Mattress was disgusting as was bathroom.

Comfy room pity about the smell

I have no comment to be honest. The bed was very comfy, did sleep very well, the shower worked ok. The room did have a smell. I had to buy air freshener. Many people who have stayed have complained about the dog smell in the hallway and I agree. Its a shame because it is in such a good location, close to the railway station, near to the town centre where they are fab places to eat.

Based on the property description, I was expecting something different. It is a room in an old house. The proprietor was kind, helpful, and accommodating. It was enough for one night and the price was right, but I likely wouldn't return. We had problems with the WC. The location was good, close to the train station and walkable distance to the seaside and city center. If you have an allergy to dogs, pass on this. Pets aren't allowed in the rooms, but the owners have dogs in the building. Also, luggage storage was a listed amenity, but they do not offer that service.

Chandos Guesthouse

This is a bargain priced Guesthouse that is close to the railway and to town. It’s a little threadbare but is excellent value for money. The manager, Richard, is very helpful & knowledgeable. I’ll be staying there next time I’m in Folkestone.

Steer clear !

Absolutely awful. The place smelt so bad. Carpets are thread bare. We had the thinnest of duvets on our beds. Dog barking periodically throughout the night in the garden. No parking as described. In street only. Was in a rush to get to our crossing in the morning after an awful night sleep and completely forgot to get pictures but it’s bad don’t waste your money. Our carpet had burns on and in general just wasn’t clean. Just so bad all of it !

This property is definitely past it’s prime, the pictures posted in the listing must be from better times. While the owner was friendly the animal smell in the entry hall was very unpleasant. The room was crammed but clean, one of the beds had dog hairs on it. Overall not what we expected to find looking at the listing, but it worked for one night.

I would give it 0 out of 5. The owner was fighting with a screaming woman on the stairwell before 7 a.m. The hotel advertises private parking. This does not exist. I was told to find a space on the next street and move my car before 9.This should not be on Expedia. There are prostitutes and drug dealers using the place according to a local. Should be shut down.

European Motorcycle Trip 2023

2nd time I have stayed here, the 1st time, it was great, a nice fresh B&B, however this time, it was a very rundown B&B, very grubby and tired throughout. One thing that worked well was the fire alarm which went off at 23:59, but there was no direction from anyone on-site and people just went back to bed.

Absolutely vilest place i have ever seen

We turned up at the hotel expecting onsite parking as it was advertised on the site that there was parking available. When we turned up, there was no onsite parking for cars and the area looked rough, not a nice place to leave a vehicle outside of. The place smelt absolutely vile as soon as the manager opened the door. The room we booked was a family room, but was not a family room and had just had an extra mattress put in the floor. There was dogs in the hallway barking behind a door and tissues and rubbish and dirt, possibly dog poo too as it smelt soo bad. We asked for a refund as we had no where to park our vehicle. The guy who was there pretended he was not the manager and tried to shut us out of the building. He eventually came out to talk to us with closing the door behind him not allowing us into the building and then walked away down the road leaving us locked outside the building and just left. The inside of the building was so disgusting and dirty, the smell made me want to vommit. The guy pretending not to be the manager was scruffy looking, with his zip undone and muck on his shirt. I do not recommend tgus place to anyone, not even a homeless individual. We did not stay there, we lost our money as we already paid for the booking online before we turned up and went to go gind a hotel inn to stay in.

I usuallt look for something positive to say, but frankly i struggle on this occasion. The place looks tired and shabby. Our room was in dire need of a clean and refurbishment. Thete was mould throughout the shower and ceiling. The wood around the shower was rotten. Cowwebs hung from ceiling and there were dead flies behind the bedside locker.Would not stay again.

We stayed in this B&B on our way to and from the Isle of Man by bikes. Positive: Host made room in the front garden for us to park our bikes there, he was also super friendly. Clean beds & sheets Negative: Showers were moldy and dirty, thus unusable. Whole building has seen better days and is in need of renovation. Suspicious persons enter and leave the reception area all the time, people arguing at night etc. If you are looking for just a bed to crash to keep on going the next morning, this might be fine. It was the cheapest accomodation I could find in the area, so I guess you get what you pay for. Need a room for several days? Find something else.
