Loved by The Grand Burstin Hotel guests
"The view from my balcony sea room was absolutely beautiful and makes you over look everything else."
"We must've got extremely lucky as we got one of the best rooms, facing the harbour and sea and was high up."
"The pool was actually very warm, very clean and the staff merrily lent kids goggles and sinkies and stuff to use in the water."
Offering a solarium, a steam room, and a sauna, The Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone is nestled just a 6-minute walk from The Folkestone Mermaid and only 0.7 km from Heaven is a Place Where Nothing Ever Happens. Featuring a restaurant, the hotel is located a few moments from Folkestone Harbour Arm.

Also, Barking Rocks is situated approximately 10 minutes' walk away. This accommodation is 4.5 km from the Kent Battle of Britain Museum.
The hotel is just steps from The Old High Street bus station.
Rooms
Furnished with a writing desk, some of the 550 rooms feature central heating and an ironing set along with a satellite television. Most rooms have a private bathroom. For more comfort, towels, along with a separate toilet, are provided.
Eat & Drink

“In my opinion, this seafront hotel presents a mixed experience. I see potential in the live entertainment and event spaces, but some aspects require attention. The option for day trips to France adds a distinctive touch, assuming the basics are covered first.”

I regularly choose this hotel for seaside visits. the location is excellent, especially at night when the harbor looks beautiful with lights. the value for money is clear, and my rooms have consistently been super clean. The staff is friendly and helpful.
i had to pay £5 for parking on the hotel grounds. also, waking up at 5 am to discover my car was blocked was stressful.
