Nice place to stay

Perfect place to stop over prior to ferry or Chunnel crossing. Not too far to walk into town although it’s uphill all the way back. Friendly staff and very welcoming.

Liked: Room comfort
Friendly staff, convenient location from Port Lympne, not far from town centre, sky tv. However, very weak WiFi, room very small and needs some TLC. Was handy for the night but glad I used my Tesco points and didn’t spend my money. I think from other reviews it has just been taken over, so will be given a makeover soon.

A super two day break away.

This small hotel is clean and friendly. The food is all freshly prepared and cooked for each order. It was very tasty and well presented. Owners and staff are friendly and welcoming. They also welcome, for a small charge, well behaved dogs which is great if you own a pet that you cannot leave at home with someone else. Our little dog loved the area and there was a nice walk close by.

A two night stay away. The room was a nice size. The carpark is shared with village, so the first night we had to park on the road. The checking in times are strict, as the bar/ pub closes.

Night away

We stayed here as we had a reservation at hide and fox resturant, perfect location as its almost opposite! Owners lovely, room was comfortable and clean, although a little dated and small. We only had a pre dinner drink in the pub so cant comment on the food as we opted to have brunch down in hythe the following morning. Room had tv with various channels, tea and coffee facilities, also shower gel and shampoo was provided in the shower room

We stayed here for one night. The pub is a proper old English pub. Nice garden to sit in even though it on the main road that runs through the village but it's not a problem as it seems very quiet. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. Large selection of bear, larger and spirits. The food was reasonably priced and fresh. Room we stayed in had a 4 poster bed which was very comfortable as well as comfortable pillows. Some people will moan the decor is dated in the rooms and to a degree it is but it's clean and comfortable. I would say that in time this will be updated. The cost of living effects not just people but business as well. Front of house is what people see ie the pub which looks like it has not long been done so in time i am sure the rooms will be to. Only bad point is no milk in the morning for tea in the room as it had gone off. A small fridge in the room would solve the problem but not a big deal. If we are ever this way again i would stay here. And even recommend it to family and friends. Look forward to sticky toffee pudding if we go back.

Had a twin bed room with my daughter for 2 nights. Room and beds were ok and in a quiet area apart from a few other guests who were quite noisy. Bit disappointed that the kitchen was not in use as we had a very long journey. Staff were very nice and helpful

End of an era at the Castle Hotel

Hotel was in the last few days of ownership before handover to new owners. Old owners were pleasant enough, but I felt we got the minimum acceptable service. We had stayed twice before, but it made no difference. Minimum acceptable service means Average Star Marking.

Fine but noisy

Arrived to find there was no food available at the hotel. Nothing to communicate this beforehand. There was also no WiFi and no communication about this beforehand either Macerator in a few of the rooms too so super noisy not just ours but everyone else's at all hours especially with the early start we had the morning afterwards
