Megan at the front desk deserves recognition! She was so pleasant, helpful & professional & went out of her way to make me feel welcome & give me information about the area. I had a pet seagull (Gulliver) who visited my window each evening & listened to all my ramblings, he was lovely. The bar staff werev also amazing. The area was quiet with a great view and a short walk to busses, restaurants and the ferry. Extended my stay 3 times.

Clean but suspect that the doona cover was not changed every time. It was extremely heavy and embossed. It would have been hard to wash and dry daily

It was clean, the bed was comfortable and the view of the garden was gorgeous
Dover is famous for the white cliffs which would have been a striking sight to the Romans as they advanced on England. They decided to construct a port at this strategic spot and it has held an important role ever since. Ferries to Calais and Dunkirk cross the English Channel several times daily and some brave souls even manage to swim across.
A Roman lighthouse still stands atop a hill overlooking the port, but is easily missed as it was incorporated into Saxon St Mary de Castro Church as the bellower. It is found within the grounds of 13th-century Dover Castle, one of England’s largest castles, whose multi-level ramparts sit above tunnels where the World War II Dunkirk evacuation was planned.
Another Roman monument is the Painted House whose remains include some of the best-preserved Roman murals north of Italy. Even older is the Bronze Age boat displayed in Dover Museum.
The Dover Transport Museum showcases vintage vehicles, and the Blériot Memorial marks the spot where the first airplane to fly across the Channel first touched English soil. A path runs along the top of the nearby cliffs, while at their feet is a shingle beach.
The Dover accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with pools, cheap inns and B&Bs near the train station.

Dover is a must see and can be placed on your bucket list. The walk along the cliffs is great and the Dover castle is well maintained and very interesting. Parking in Dover is as per all UK towns a problem and you need to plan accordingly or you can use the local bus services.

We spent a day and a half in Dover and came specifically to see the historical Fan Bay Shafts (National Trust) and Dover Castle (English Heritage).
We found Fan Bay Shafts interesting and very 'genuine' history. Note that it is 45 minutes underground in damp, but not cold, tunnels, wearing a hard hat and head torch.
Dover Castle warrants a whole day or more! Lots to see.
We had time to see Deal Castle too. Good as a contrast, as it is a Tudor fortification. They have tried hard with their pretty good first floor exhibition, but the basement is an underused and under-explained resource which could be much more imaginatively tackled.

Dover needs significant regeneration: the town is tired and not appealing. I have known Dover since 1965 and to be honest it is probably now at its worst, but I can see some small signs of improvement: however everything being demolished is becoming a car park!! Dover needs to look like Folkestone or Deal: more independent and unique shops to attract people. Not the standard chains stores and "cheap shops", which of course have their place but different shops attract curiosity.
The castle remains the main attraction, as does western heights and Dover Patrol memorial. Kirsney Abbey and Russell Gardens provide a tranquil side. the ride through Alkham Valley, always puts a smile on my face.

Dover is a very busy port town but also a town full of interesting history. We loved walking out along the pier, watching the ferries come in & go out, we enjoyed visiting Dover Castle very much, it is well worth putting a day aside to visit the castle and we found the town centre to contain everything we needed for our visit; minimart, chemist, shoe shop, pubs, restaurants & coffee shops. It’s small enough to walk everywhere & plenty to do. There’s a great walk along the famous white cliffs which we ran out of time to do but we’d like to come back one day & see more of this great town.
In all, Dover is a bit rough around the edges but a very interesting town to visit, especially if you like boats, the seaside & history.

Plenty to do in Dover and with travel issues (traffic and train strikes) well worth reducing the stress and planning a day in Dover. Premier Inn offered (online reservation) for Bag stashers. Local museum has amazing Bronze age boat! Dover castle has so many different historic periods covered - Roman lighthouse, Plantagenet castle and World war II hospital / headquarters - allow plenty of time.

Dover is really undergoing a regeneration process, the beach are is very popular and the marina is just lovely. The town itself is very run down indeed and we avoided it this time. We did spend a lot of time walking on the beach and enjoying the lovely atmosphere.
Came for a getaway with my family. We had an amazing time here! We had the room and were lucky to have beautiful weather which allowed us to enjoy the view. The staff were friendly and catered all of our requests.
Night Manager Mayur was such a brilliant man at receptions All in one man, he made our stay more valuable. It's great that the hotel has nice location and ways of parking system on permit was clearly marked. I would highly recommend Best Western Dover Marina.
we had such an amazing stay at your hotel! The service from all staff members was exceptional. I'd asked for an accessible room for my mum, and our room was one of the 1st ones downstairs, which made it very easy. We had an amazing 3 course meal from Bella Italia, which was delicious! Also the breakfast the following morning was one of the best hotel breakfasts I've ever had - the lady who was helping us was very lovely too, couldn't have been more helpful.
The Reception staff especially Ravi & Ayush were fantastic,very helpful and efficient. Bar staff very informative and pleasant. The hotel was very comfortable and busy which made for a very pleasant stay. We ate in MPW restaurant which had a good ambiance and overall the food was very good. The location of the hotel is great for access to Dover,the ferry and Canterbury. A very pleasant break and would recommend the hotel to friends.
Very nice place with a great view over Dover. Very quiet thanks to its situation far from the centre and the main road. Very nice welcoming by Margaret and her husband who kindly proposed me to carry my suitcase into my room as there are steep stairs to get there. Lovely breakfast. Very cosy, clean and quiet room and entrance locked with security code. Nice little private car park below the hotel.
John the concierge was great. He made sure our stay was comfortable and gave us lots of tips and stories to help us explore Dover and its surrounding areas. The room was clean, quiet, spacious, and had all the amenities one would need. The Guest house is situated in a central location which makes it easy to visit the beach, the museums, town centre, and train station to explore nearby locations.
Great location (just across from Dover Priory) and walking distance to the cruise port and various food places. Comfy and beautifully decorated. No AC but fans were provided. USB charging in outlets. Nice en suite bathroom and shower. Very clean. Staff was extremely helpful and nice. Not a bargain but good quality for price. WiFi was available and reliable.
The room was so Gorgeous loved the decor and the fact it was a period property!
The cleanliness was 10/10
The Food was delicious! The Breakfast especially was top notch and so was the breakfast host she was very welcoming and couldn't do enough for us.
The Location is ideal to Dover Castle.
Laz & Des are the most welcoming hosts you could wish for. Very supportive and friendly; gave lots of information about the surroundings, options for restaurants. Lovely couple.
Their house has a spectacular view on Dover Castle; all amenities and the city centre are within a few minutes' walk.
Onsite parking with great location. The full breakfast was delicious! (but... see what we did not like) The property is at the base of the hill upon which Dover Castle sits. It is close enough to walk, but VERY steep, I would recommend using your car, especially as parking at the hotel is free.
The hosts Margaret and Phillip were very welcoming. Their lovely B & B was conveniently located walking distance to the train station and town. They were very helpful suggesting ways to see the most in and around Dover. I was very grateful for their help and hospitality.
Our overall experience of Dover was itself brilliant. Full of history, with a lovely sea front, nice bars pubs, and decent, friendly people. I should like to come back one day, though if I do I will obviously be steering well clear of Dover Town Rooms!
The property is in great location for Dover ferry port and is a much better price than any other hotel/hostel in the area. As we were only staying for about 12 hours we weren’t prepared to pay the ridiculous costs of some of the other places.
Room/whole place was really clean, staff were very friendly and helpful.. lovely people. I felt very safe and welcome. 7 min walk from Dover Priory Station, 20 walk to the beach, 30 min walk to Dover Castle.. very convenient spot.
Guest house was good price vs hotels I often stay at. Shortish walk to town centre for evening food/ drink… although Dover is unfortunately a little rough around the edges these days, so wouldn’t want to do the walk in the dark.
Very cozy guest house. Beautiful and comfortable rooms. Delicious breakfast!! Sharon was very nice and welcoming.very close to the Dover Castle, White Cliffs and the sea. Highly recommended 👌
The room was wonderfully decorated. Was just like being in a home rather that a hotel. Breakfast was great and cooked to order! The overall feeling was relaxed and welcoming.
Wonderful proprieter.
Room clean and beautifully decorated to Georgian architecture.
Centrally located. Short (but steep) climb to Dover Castle, quick walks to food and shops.
