Holiday Inn Express Folkestone - Channel Tunnel by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Folkestone - Channel Tunnel by IHG

8/10 Good
"Great hotel just a few minutes away from le shuttle. There is a Tesco nearly opposite. The hotel has plenty of parking. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The room was clean, the bed was too soft and a double (not very big for two adults). The breakfast was excellent and available from 6 am onwards for hot food - or earlier for the cold buffet. They also supply take away cups for hot drinks and paper bags and dishes if you want to eat on the hop. Very good value, would stay again."

"The breakfast buffet was good; however, the elevator was small and slow. Since our room was on the 4th floor, we opted to use the stairs. These stairs led us to the 1st floor and then to the ground floor, exiting outside!"

8/10 Good
"Lovely place to stay. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped with amenities. This was a key box venue, (so no reception or check-in) so I never actually met the hosts or staff, so can't really comment on the service. However everything seemed well maintained and all information provided in the room. The only downside is the noise factor from other guests, which is not really the hosts fault. My room (The Becket) was downstairs right next to the front door of the property, which meant every time a quest arrived and punched in the code to their key box to get their keys, it felt like someone was knocking on my wall. When the guests entered, the front door slammed shut and this shook the wall and windows in my room. This can happen at any time during the night, so not great if you are a light sleeper, which I am not and it still woke me up. It is street parking and the location is lovely, just a short walk to the seafront with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants nearby. I would recommend this place, just try and avoid the downstairs rooms if noise bothers you."
