Dover District Budget Hotels

"Very friendly and welcoming staff. The room was clean and they had made a sofa bed up for my son. Plenty of tea,coffee and biscuits and the towels were lovely large ones instead of the usual face cloth you get to dry yourself with in many hotels. We liked the Bluetooth mirror in the bathroom and the soap etc was filled. The room and bathroom were very cold due to the old sash windows which were quite draughty. However you were able to control the heating easily and so were able to warm the room quite quickly. We did not sample the restaurant or spa services as this was only a one night stay."

"We booked the Lily Room at the Blue Pigeon for our wedding anniversary, hoping for a quiet, restorative escape after a demanding few months. Unfortunately, the stay didn't quite deliver on that promise — though it wasn't without its highlights. Arrival set an unexpected tone. We walked into what appeared to be a large, lively bottomless brunch gathering — very much a party atmosphere — and could barely hear the receptionist over the noise. For guests seeking a peaceful retreat, this was quite a jolt, and felt at odds with how the hotel presents itself. The room itself was genuinely lovely. Beautifully decorated, well-furnished, and thoughtfully put together with real attention to detail — exactly what you'd hope for at this price point, and credit where it's due. Sadly, sleep was impossible. The church directly opposite chimes on the hour, every hour, throughout the night — something we weren't forewarned about. The room also ran very hot despite no radiators being on, and opening the window only amplified the bells. By morning, having had no sleep whatsoever, we missed breakfast entirely so can’t comment on that. The Blue Pigeon clearly has the bones of something special, shows real care in its design. But the overall experience felt confused — the branding suggests a calm, boutique bolthole, while the reality on our visit was quite different. A little more consistency between the two, would consider returning! "
