The hotel has a good restaurant menu, and a pool / sauna area (with a small fee), so it was good on that area, but be mindful that it's a live enterntainment venue almost every night and that music will be loud and audible in the lower floors (1st, and beyond with open windows), so this isn't a quiet place. if you can, stay in higher floors, but this isn't guaranteed when booking.

Staff were great, room was clean, nice buffet breakfast and bar. The only downside is the decor, it is very dated, it was a bit like stepping back in time to the 70’s but location was great so would probably go back if in that area again.
I have always had a nice room with a bath and a sea view. The pool, sauna, entertainment and lounges are a great bonus. The room was clean, staff are always friendly
We had a wonderful stay at the Grand Burstin Hotel in Folkestone. The location is perfect, the staff were friendly and helpful, and our room was clean and comfortable. The rooms are offered at a sensible price. Excellent value for money overall.
Highly recommend for a relaxing short break!

The room was clean, bed linen fresh and the bed comfortable. The hotel and room looked a little tired with its décor and could do with a refresh. Only stayed a single night at a very good rate and would do so again.

The room was exactly as described, clean and comfortable for a budget hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout my stay. There was an issue with the lift during my visit, which was a bit inconvenient, but otherwise everything was fine. Overall, good value for money and a pleasant stay for the price.
Good value. Only let down by check in time which was 15 minutes. Staff available but all dealing with one customer. No apologies for the time we waited.

Only a short overnight but did the job. Private parking handy and great location.
Clean hotel but no parking spaces left so we had to pay overnight at the pay and display for £22. Not much soundproofing from other rooms so not much sleep had unfortunately.
But very close to the beach and lots of cafes, food stalls etc. Quite outdated building. The TV in our room did not work either.

The hotel is good value with friendly and efficient staff and a nice and big clean room
It’s a proper old fashioned seaside hotel. Plenty of places to sit and chat and eat and drink.
Friendly staff.
The hotel is quite old so do not have plugs by the bed so if you need that for charging phones (or cpap machines) then bring an extension cord 😊
I was a solo traveller with a dog and people could not have been nicer.
I can’t wait to return 👏

Smooth check in receptionist Very helpful spotless clean room with sea view great breakfast
Nice food
Friendly staff.
Well equipped and spacious room.
Reasonable entertainment.
But need to change the restaurants on their website as they advertise what they do not do.
Lifts need looking at as lifts to floor 7 and above both went out.
Really enjoyed our stay, place was clean and stuff friendly. Great location can easily get around by foot. Car park is £5 if you stay at hotel. Swimming pool and sauna available for price I believe it was £4 each.

We stayed here before getting the ferry early the next morning.
We paid for an early check in but due to traffic we’re late but our room was still not ready.
The whole place felt a bit outdated but the location was great.
There are nearby EV chargers but the on site parking is a bit sketchy.
