It is an old styled hotel with lots of rooms on one floor. The sound proof is okay. The bed is not well fixed when I went in but the receptionist is nice n friendly. But considering the price, you got everything u need. It is right in front of the Harbour which is pretty decent.

Spectacular stay as always, I upgraded to a balcony a room and we weren’t disappointed. Amazing views of the harbour, beach and the white cliffs of Dover on the large balcony. At night it was lovely clear skies and we could see France from our balcony. Room was a great size with homely furniture and furniture for the balcony too. All clean and up to a high standard. Beach and harbour is just a 2 minute walk across the road. Bar and restaurant yet again superb! I went with a dog and had no problems getting meals. Staff as always super polite and helpful they are a credit to the hotel! Highly recommend The Grand Burstin to anyone!

Has everything you would expect a budget hotel to have. Extra pillow in the wardrobe and the choice of mugs and plastic drinking glasses. Would definitely stay here again and would recommend to friends and family.

It was just ok for the money we spent but wouldn’t stay again. Put on first floor with room near end of corridor and we had to ask to move as the smell was making us feel sick in the corridor and the room!! I walk with a stick as not long had knee replacement and honestly the lifts were out of action except for 1,🥲Moved to 3rd floor which was ok but we cleaned the bathroom as poo onside of toilet and basin 🤮. Can honestly say this Hotel now needs a massive cash injection or pulled down and I have stayed in the past and same furniture for years? I can honestly say I actually felt depressed staying there 😢😢

I recently stayed at this hotel and found the location very convenient, just a 5-minute walk to High Street. However, the cleanliness was average, and the decor felt quite outdated. The service was also just okay. Overall, it was a decent stay, but improvements could be made.

We went to the hotel, but the room we stayed in the window was broke. They changed the room for us that when we went to the second room the toilet did not work at all. Wasn’t happy about it. I don’t recommend anyone else to stay at the moment.

The hotel is in a really nice location, I can see why it has some low reviews related to the decor etc, and it probably does need a spruce up, but it has a very grand dining room with a sizeable breakfast selection. Attentive and quick to serve staff and check in was done within minutes.
While it's not much for the pool, this was the only downside. If you are staying in a hotel and it says it has a pool it should be free to guests. I appreciate as it's on the ground floor it maybe hard to police or check who is a guest but that could be sorted with barriers that you use the card to scan in.
Overall very impressed and would stay again if we were in Folkestone
