What guests think
Westward Ho Hotel earns praise for its scenic seafront location near the promenade and Channel Tunnel, friendly staff, and good value, with many guests noting simple rooms and enjoyable sea views that suit short stopovers.
Rooms are basic and often dated, with recurring comments about creaky or sagging beds, small bathrooms (sometimes with the sink in the bedroom), noise between rooms, and rattling sash windows. Cleanliness is frequently reported as good, though a minority mention musty odours, dust, or maintenance grime. Continental breakfast and parking are convenient for some, but breakfast is simple rather than cooked and parking can be limited or incur small fees; there is no lift so stairs are required. Expect a straightforward, budget stay with great views.

Ok I'll admit I had extremely low expectations for this place, it was literally half the price of the premier inn and holiday Inn express which I tried to book first but they were full. So I booked this place fully expecting some terrible experience. I feel ashamed because not only was the staff member who checked us in, lovely, friendly and accommodating the hotel itself was clean, fresh, had lovely big spacious rooms, lovely sea view, fluffy towels with complimentary toiletries, water bottles and coffee/tea making facilities, and abundance of plug sockets including usb charging near the bed. Shower had good water pressure too, bed was comfy (I would say personally I like a hard mattress) but this was soft. However can't knock them for my personal preference. I had a decent sleep, other guests were generally quiet, sea gulls can get a little noisy early morning but don't book a hotel by the sea of that sort of thing irritates you. There was secure garage parking available for a small fee if you have a motorbike it's ideal. Would definitely stay again.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We booked a car parking space, £6 overnight which was extremely convenient in a private parking lot/garage opposite the hotel. You can also get a parking permit on the road outside for £4 if you're lucky enough to get a space. The room was standard, but big with plenty of space, beds were very comfy and cosy and towels were lovely and soft, it included bathroom and toilet, some rooms don't and are on a separate floor. They offer a continental style breakfast which we didn't try as we were looking to have hot food so we went out. Overall we enjoyed our stay and would visit again

Not good. 1. The room is not clean. I saw women’s hair somewhere. In the bed 2. Why can’t change some new bedding ? Is not expensive. The bedsheets are pilling. Not comfortable. 3. Some odour in the room. Not fresh. 4. One panel of the curtain is broken, and I was woken up by the sunlight at 6 a.m.

The hotel is very old and not wel maintained. The hallway stinks like toilet. Fair enough its an old building so it make sense. I payed around €90 per night for a very small room with a double bed and a shower and toilet in a broom closet. Good things also: they allow dog and the breakfast was nice. Next time however, ill pay a bit more and find an upgrade. The staff was friendly

We also had a room with a sea view, and the hotel was 2 minutes walk from the lovely promenade. The lady that checked us in was very helpful and friendly. The hotel is also very convenient for the Channel Tunnel. Highly recommend.

Warm welcome from staff. Hotel dated. Beds creaky and need to be replaced. We had family room and woke each other up all night due to beds creaking when moving. Small bathroom en-suite was clean but pokey. Didn’t have breakfast. I’d stay again at a push but would rather pay slightly more for the comfort of a premier inn

One of the best things about Folkestone is how peaceful the seafront is, because there are no cars racing along it. The Westward Ho is in a dream position, with stunning sea views, calm and quiet surroundings, and gorgeous walks along the undercliff into central Folkestone and the harbour. Our room was good, though the shower and the sashcord windows were a bit ropey and needed a bit of attention.

After staying several times at the Westward Ho hotel, I’m always pleased with the no-fuss, friendly, clean, and professional atmosphere. Once again, the staff did not disappoint – the guy at check-in was super friendly and helpful (sorry I didn’t catch his name!). For the first time, I booked my stay including breakfast – and what a pleasant surprise! Karen, who was there bright and early at 7:30 am, welcomed everyone with a warm smile and professional service. Thank you, Karen! It was great to have cereals, fruit, toast, and croissants available just downstairs – very convenient and a lovely start to the day. Definitely check it out, and be sure to say hello to Karen from me!

There was a mix up with our room whereby someone else had been given it before we arrived although they hadn’t used it at all. The only problem with this is that the couple who thought they were in our room and had gone out for the evening arrived back and came into our room at 12.15am. The hotel staff had done their best to contact them during the evening but to no avail they even put a note on the door to tell Them their new room number but they even missed that. Everything else was fine though friendly staff and clean rooms albeit hot as the windows wouldn’t open very far. I would stay here again

Had to call ring door bell there and then had to wait for someone to answer that to be told knock hard on the door as he can’t hear, knocked hard and then heard him having a telephone call saying “open the door they are there” the chap smelt of alcohol. Popped out to grab some dinner for the kids and there was a VERY STRONG smell of CANNABIS in and around the front door and there was a few people having around on the step smoking it which we had to walk out kids through. I was ready to leave there and then but had to remind myself it was one night kids were exhausted and excited for Disney. Overall the room was nice and clean, there was a dent/hole in the table top that had the kettle on, the bath panel was chipped and pealing. Check out was easy and just had to pop keys in the box.

Great communication and easy check in just ring ahead 20 mins before you arrive. Excellent location for the leascliffe hall and a nice walk along the cliff or the beach to Sandgate. Recommend.

One of the best things about Folkestone is how peaceful the seafront is, because there are no cars racing along it. The Westward Ho is in a dream position, with stunning sea views, calm and quiet surroundings, and gorgeous walks along the undercliff into central Folkestone and the harbour. Our room was good, though the shower and the sashcord windows were a bit ropey and needed a bit of attention.

Lovely little B&B close to the seafront. Stayed here during off season so they arranged to meet me at the B&B for check-in and the communication was excellent. Very friendly staff during check-in and out. Easily walkable to the town and train station

The hotel was excellent, especially considering the very reasonable price we paid. Although an old building, it was spotlessly clean. The bed was very comfortable. We also had a room with a sea view, and the hotel was 2 minutes walk from the lovely promenade. The lady that checked us in was very helpful and friendly. The hotel is also very convenient for the Channel Tunnel. Highly recommend.

Dining
Continental breakfast is simple and generally well liked, with fresh coffee and a decent selection; staff sometimes organize early take-away breakfasts and can cater for allergens. Some guests found it average or wished for cooked options and broader variety.

A lovely hotel with spacious, clean rooms and a convenient location, just a short walk to the town centre, and only a 15 minute drive to the Le shuttle terminal. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, making check-in and check-out quick and hassle free. The continental breakfast was simple yet enjoyable , and catered for allergens upon request. Overall, a pleasant and comfortable stay. We would happily return and recommend it to others.

The uninterrupted sea views are stunning. The continental breakfast at just £6 offers good filter coffee and a fine variety of cereals, pasteries, meats, cheeses, fruit and yoghurt. The staff are polite, attentive, and competent. For example, our room window mechanism failed, and a maintenance chap was in the room dealing with it within minutes.The rooms are clean, comfortable and large. There are complementary toiletries, chocolates and biscuits. Check in was very efficient. The location is perfect for walking along lovely gardens into town, and to the Harbour Arm. Parking is totally hassle free, as upon arrival, staff will organise your purchase an overnight residents permit at £3.50 a day (until 11am the following morning) to enable you to park in the residents bays outside the hotel and in the surrounding area. The hotel is a five minute walk to the bus stop where you can get routes to Dover & Deal or Canterbury for example. The train station is just a ten minute stroll from the hotel. The location is peaceful and attractive. The hotel facilities have far exceeded our expectations. Thank you.

Good location and size of room but in poor condition. The communal areas are poor too. Staff was good but breakfast was more of something very basic and no cooked items. Could have done the interior properly as they have few many properties and need looking after urgently.

It was a great stop off with a room for 5 of us which i found difficult to find elsewhere. Room was very clean and well presented. Staff were lovely and helpful. Breakgast is continental with lots of options. There was something we all liked. Great walking spot particularly as we had our 2 dogs this was a particularly good feature.

I had a great two night stay. The staff was friendly and helpful and aimed to please at all times. The continental breakfast was served in a very nice dining room, cosy, clean and welcoming. The food was fresh and covered several types of cereal and also a good selection of other items such as toast, croissants, pain au chocolate, meats and fruit. The coffee was fresh and delicious. If I could make only one suggestion and that is that the very large toilet roll holder in the shower room, is replaced with a tiny hand basin- this is very important. I enjoyed the gorgeous sea view and shall definitely be staying here again. I thoroughly recommend it.

Extraordinary view, awful parking opportunities for bigger cars, garages aren't suitable for SUVs and roof boxes. But nevertheless, short access to promenade and ocean side. Breakfast service was great and the breakfast itself was simple.

Stayed here for one night, the staff were lovely and helpful on arrival! The room itself was fine, a place to rest our heads for the night, bed was clean, comfortable and spacious. Shower was nice and hot with two shower heads to choose from, a rainfall one and a standard one, pressure was fine too. Lots of storage in the room for clothes etc with some clothes hangers provided which is appreciated! Location was great for walking and being close to lots of sites to see too. For the price it was quite fair!
