Many guests praise thoughtful help with luggage, taxi arrangements and local tips, and several were allowed early check-in or bag storage before or after their stay. Breakfast receives frequent compliments, though a few reviews report confusion or unavailability. Overall, expect a friendly, well-kept base with simple rooms and some practical trade-offs around access and policies.

We had a lovely stay. Our room was comfortable and very clean. The breakfast was good. We appreciated that they could store our bikes for us. The location was good and we could easily get to the town centre as well as to the ferry.

Great place for an overnight stay in Dover. Especially, if Dover is your cruise port. A great location if your intention is to spend a few days exploring Dover. Highly recommend you contact this property ahead of time should you require securing your luggage prior to checking in or after checking out. Room #6 is on the top floor (2nd floor) accessible by stairs only. Room #6 has a very small ensuite bathroom which includes a very small shower. This shower is difficult to enter and exit if you are at big/tall person. Your host is excellent. Restaurant tip...Il Rustico Restaurant (4 Bench Street). Awesome Italian food and 10 minute walk from this property.

Great location in Dover, walkable to town centre, cliffs and Dover Priory station. We were in room 6 which was at the front of the property on the top floor, two flights of stairs, no lift, which is normal in English properties. The room was a very good size and spotlessly clean. Towels were changed daily and bins emptied. Bed is comfortable. Host and daughter are very friendly and helpful. The only downside we found was the traffic noise from main road and very loud seagulls, when the windows are closed it is quiet but you need to use the fan which is very effective but sounds like a small aircraft, either way you will need sleep earplugs or noise cancelling earbuds to sleep

We really liked this guesthouse in Dover. I had asked if we could drop our luggage off around 11:30 so we could go to Dover Castle. Our host was very accommodating. We arrived back about 4:00 to check in and that was smooth. Our room was large, with a table and chairs in front of a large window facing the street. The room and bathroom were sparking clean and stocked with everything we needed. The guesthouse is a short walk to town and lots of restaurants. Our host gave us some suggestions of places to eat, which was helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Sandra, our host, was amazing. She ensured we had everything we needed and made us a hearty breakfast to start our day. Our host carried our luggage both up and down the stairs for us and we were on the top floor. This was greatly appreciated. If you cannot manage stairs, this would not be the property for you. As noted in the booking platform, there is no elevator. The Maison Dieu is conveniently located and within walking distance of many restaurants, Dover Castle, Cliffs of Dover and the waterfront.

We had a lovely time staying at this property. Sandra was very welcoming and we were fortunate to be able to check in a little early so we did not have to carry our luggage (we had travelled by train from London). The room was bright, cheery and immaculate !!!! Everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. The only thing that was not, was the Dover Transport Museum (worth a visit). However, public transport was close by and the driver was very helpful. On our last day in Dover, our train did not leave until after 5pm. Sandra was very accommodating and kept our luggage safe so that we could explore the White Cliffs without worries (and dragging our bags along). There were many dining recommendations provided (The White Horse, Dino's and Aspendos we would definitely recommend) lots of current information on the area for exploring. Highly recommend staying here, it was fantastic !!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely traditional B&B, the proprietor was friendly and courteous and made us feel very welcome. The room was clean, comfortable and lovely and quiet considering it is on a busy road. The bed was very comfortable and the room had a nice en-suite. The room was beautifully decorated with beautiful bedding. Our only observation was the TV was tiny!! but we were weren't going to watch it anyway as we were in dover visiting friends.

The reviews for this property are old. I don’t know if the property was sold or what. The woman there was pleasant, but it’s the details that count. The towels could use replacing with nicer towels that are not frayed, and the mattress on the king bed could use replacing. The duvet didn’t cover our feet, and the shower/en-suite was so small that two people couldn’t brush their teeth at the same time. The shower was equally as small/big folks would have a bad time trying to shower. All in all, could use a major update-so much potential but really not what is advertised.

Unfortunately the bedding in my nice room was full of bed bugs which has left large bights all over my neck back and arms. This may have been a one off bed disappointing to say the least. Bedding was changed on my request but too late by then. Bedding bites aside a nice place to stay. Unfortunately the bedding issue was the overriding concern. Now a very uncomfortable flight home will be the result.

We stayed here the night before our cruise was to leave out of Dover in late July. We were able to walk to the hotel from Dover Priory. You do need to ring the door bell and wait for the hostess to let you into the from door at the B&B. Our room was nice and spacious with its own en-suite bathroom, but it did not have air if that is a need for you. They provided you with a fan and it made comfortable for sleeping. You are close to dining, Dover Castle and the cliffs of Dover. We chose to walk to the port from our hotel and it was about 35 minutes. Some areas around the hotel need attention. If you need a cab they are available, but on cruise days the wait can be long to get a cab.

Not sure how this property got 4 on reviews. Check in is 4:30 and out at 9:30. Ridiculous times compared to other places. 3 long flights of narrow dark stairs . Could barely turn around in the shower. Bathroom had closet doors. Noisy and on a busy street. Old furniture and stiff linens. 12” tv smaller than a computer screen. It is within walking distance of town. Owner made a fuss when we asked about breakfast. So we went to the cafe down the street. I would not recommend

My stay here was difficult at best. Listing states “restaurant.” There is No restaurant. Listing mentioned “breakfast.” There is no breakfast. There is no laundry as stated. And, worst of all, there is no flexibility whatsoever on 4:30 check-in. My overseas plane arrived at 0630 and I arrived at this place at 10:00. The owner acted as if I was an intruder at the door and firmly stated 4:30! I explained my situation and offered to pay more if I could access my room earlier. No! By 2:30 after 30 hours of no sleep, I came back and told the owner I did not feel safe any longer wondering around Dover without any sleep. I asked if I could sit on the stairs outside. She said no, that I could go to a park and wait there for 2 more hours. Absolutely no flexibility or concern whatsoever for guest. I did meet other guests staying who expressed the same opinion of this place. So, while the rate is attractive, I would definitely pay more for a better place.

We arrived back about 4:00 to check in and that was smooth. Our room was large, with a table and chairs in front of a large window facing the street. The room and bathroom were sparking clean and stocked with everything we needed. The guesthouse is a short walk to town and lots of restaurants. Our host gave us some suggestions of places to eat, which was helpful. I would definitely stay here again.

Loved our stay here. The manager was very friendly and helpful. Helping us with cases and good information about Dover. Room was lovely with chairs and table in a small bay window. Highly recommend this guest house as it’s an easy walk to shops, sights, eating places and the railway station.

Sandra, our host, was amazing. She ensured we had everything we needed and made us a hearty breakfast to start our day. Our host carried our luggage both up and down the stairs for us and we were on the top floor. This was greatly appreciated. If you cannot manage stairs, this would not be the property for you. As noted in the booking platform, there is no elevator. The Maison Dieu is conveniently located and within walking distance of many restaurants, Dover Castle, Cliffs of Dover and the waterfront.

We stayed here the night before our cruise was to leave out of Dover in late July. We were able to walk to the hotel from Dover Priory. You do need to ring the door bell and wait for the hostess to let you into the from door at the B&B. Our room was nice and spacious with its own en-suite bathroom, but it did not have air if that is a need for you. They provided you with a fan and it made comfortable for sleeping. You are close to dining, Dover Castle and the cliffs of Dover. We chose to walk to the port from our hotel and it was about 35 minutes. Some areas around the hotel need attention. If you need a cab they are available, but on cruise days the wait can be long to get a cab.

Great place for an overnight stay in Dover. Especially, if Dover is your cruise port. A great location if your intention is to spend a few days exploring Dover. Highly recommend you contact this property ahead of time should you require securing your luggage prior to checking in or after checking out. Room #6 is on the top floor (2nd floor) accessible by stairs only. Room #6 has a very small ensuite bathroom which includes a very small shower. This shower is difficult to enter and exit if you are at big/tall person. Your host is excellent. Restaurant tip...Il Rustico Restaurant (4 Bench Street). Awesome Italian food and 10 minute walk from this property.

Great location in Dover, walkable to town centre, cliffs and Dover Priory station. We were in room 6 which was at the front of the property on the top floor, two flights of stairs, no lift, which is normal in English properties. The room was a very good size and spotlessly clean. Towels were changed daily and bins emptied. Bed is comfortable. Host and daughter are very friendly and helpful. The only downside we found was the traffic noise from main road and very loud seagulls, when the windows are closed it is quiet but you need to use the fan which is very effective but sounds like a small aircraft, either way you will need sleep earplugs or noise cancelling earbuds to sleep

Breakfast is often praised as tasty and filling, with some customization and dietary consideration. However, a few reviews report confusion or that breakfast was not available.

My stay here was difficult at best. Listing states “restaurant.” There is No restaurant. Listing mentioned “breakfast.” There is no breakfast. There is no laundry as stated. And, worst of all, there is no flexibility whatsoever on 4:30 check-in. My overseas plane arrived at 0630 and I arrived at this place at 10:00. The owner acted as if I was an intruder at the door and firmly stated 4:30! I explained my situation and offered to pay more if I could access my room earlier. No! By 2:30 after 30 hours of no sleep, I came back and told the owner I did not feel safe any longer wondering around Dover without any sleep. I asked if I could sit on the stairs outside. She said no, that I could go to a park and wait there for 2 more hours. Absolutely no flexibility or concern whatsoever for guest. I did meet other guests staying who expressed the same opinion of this place. So, while the rate is attractive, I would definitely pay more for a better place.

Not sure how this property got 4 on reviews. Check in is 4:30 and out at 9:30. Ridiculous times compared to other places. 3 long flights of narrow dark stairs . Could barely turn around in the shower. Bathroom had closet doors. Noisy and on a busy street. Old furniture and stiff linens. 12” tv smaller than a computer screen. It is within walking distance of town. Owner made a fuss when we asked about breakfast. So we went to the cafe down the street. I would not recommend
