Royal Oak

This is a quaint place. The stairs are a little tricky with luggage but the room was delightful. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a great stay and we would definitely come back.

Very clean, lovely decor. Food great. Bed mattress a little well used and semi collapsed on one side. Not much parking.

all okay stairs bit unsafe

Staff and service was excellent. Access to room not suitable for aged and infirm.

No parking available on day 1. I was told an email would be sent on the day of our arrival to give us instructions for accessing the room but never received it. Had to wait for someone to take us to the room and give me the passkey. Pub was very busy and noisy on our first night which kept us awake. Second night we didn’t hear anything in the pub. Breakfast was really good and the cooks were excellent at catering for my dairy and egg allergies. Bed mattress was not good.

Quaint place with pub on ground floor. Would not advise for people with walking issues as the stairs are very steep and steps narrow and uneven.

A good place to stay when visiting Dover. Lots of people use it for the port. We used it to visit the castle and Battke of Britain memorial. Parking is a bit tight in the car park so we used the road. Breakfast is good and food options in the evening also good. Room has everything you need and is cosy.

The rooms were above a pub. There is no elevator and the stairs were steep. Once upstairs and in the room it was comfortable. The pub below served food for a cost. The food was very good. Breakfast was amazing.

Nice pub with good rooms

We chose to stay at the Royal Oak prior to our cruise. The hotel is situated away from the city centre in a quiet residential area steeped in history a short cab ride or 40 min walk to town. The staff exceeded our expectations with their kindness and hospitality. The pub downstairs frequented by locals and travellers was a lot of fun to have a pint, meal and watch a football match. The room met our requirements only the unseasonably warm weather made it more challenging, thankfully a fan was provided in the room. Complimentary breakfast was the perfect way to start the day.

Room was clean and tidy and looked to have been recently renovated to a good standard. Nice big shower and lots of hot water, always the sign of a good hotel room. Plenty of nice fluffy towels, but lacking a towel rail next to the hand basin (a cheap and quick fix there). Bed was comfortable, however a nice bed topper would be a lovely touch. Room was missing a small waste bin, a couple of coat hooks on the hanging rail would be especially useful. (again a cheap and quick fix). Having twin USB points on both sides of the bed with twin 13amp sockets and good free Wfi was a nice touch. We had room 5 and from the little we saw of other rooms, I think it was the best one. As mentioned, we could not fault the cleanliness of the bedroom or the bathroom and towels and bedlinen perfect (well done there). one small niggle, the kettle and coffee maker were on one of the bedside tables and took up most of the table top. A small console table, like the one in the hallway with the visitors comments book on it, would have been great placed under the TV and the kettle etc could have been placed on there and a socket could have been taken from the TV supply socket above. Again a fairly small outlay for a big gain in the room. All the staff we met, were very friendly and always willing to do what they good to help, another reason our stay was so pleasant. The restaurant severed good pub food and good sized portions. There is also 2 EV charging points on site. Would I recommend, yes 100%

It was very clean en modern. Property beautifull. Beds very confortable

We liked everything, the room was spotless, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the breakfast was excellent and the parking was nice and easy

Room and common areas very clean, staff friendly and helpful. Room well decorated and bed comfirtable Some minor issues with fixtures. Only real problem is physical size of the room - too small for two adults and bathroom just uncomfortable.

We were greeted with a big smile and enjoyed friendly service throughout our stay. Our room was clean, warm and very comfortable. Both our dinner and breakfast at Royal Oak were delicious and served with a smile :) I warmly welcome Royal Oak for any length of stay and will definitely visit again.

Lovely small friendly hotel. Nice bar area. Rooms are compact, but absolutely pristine everything you need for a comfortable stay. Staff are friendly. Lovely choice of breakfast. Definitely stay again

Nettes kleines Hotel mit angrenzenden Pub. Das Zimmer war sauber und hat alles für ein Paar Nächte geboten. Das Personal war freundlich und hilfsbereit. Das Hotel ist der perfekt Urlaubseinstieg nach der Fährüberfahrt.

We loved Royal Oak and the thoughtfully designed spaces. Our room was extremely clean and also had a very nice bathroom accommodation. We thoroughly enjoyed walking around the area, Kearsney Gardens and quick train to Dover area. The pub was fun and great food. We felt like locals by partaking in the Easter trivia night!! We knew this ahead of time and had no issues, but for your planning purposes-- the rooms are on the second floor above the pub area. Breakfast was very generous servings and great food. Staff assisted us with travel advice. We hope to visit again in the future.

Clean facility, friendly staff, and good food! The breakfast was INCREDIBLE!

Clean renovated rooms. Great breakfast. Friendly service

Character property finished to a good standard. On site parking. Nice property for a short stay rooms are very small as it's in a listed building

Lovely little pub with rooms - idea for a cozier stay in Dover. Expect old world style and rooms - and you won’t be disappointed But they really need to get new mattresses

Very clean very small Would have been good to have a tv Also the pub downstairs does not serve after 4 pm on sunday only pizza would have bern good to know that

Really helpful and friendly staff. Prepared me a grab bag for breakfast as had to leave earlier than breakfast was served. My room was a little on the small side but was very beautifully presented. (And would be fine for any one of average hight and build. As I am over 6’5 and of large build.)

There is no TV in the room.

Arrived on a Tuesday to find the kitchen was closed but thankfully you could do me a Pizza. My room was lovely but would benefit from a new mattresses and a tv would be a welcome addition. None of the above detracts from it being a lively cosy little pub and i would happily stay again.

The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The pub and restaurant were more than adequate. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

Ideal if you arrive in the UK late or are leaving the next morning. Entrance to room via a code given before arrival. Room very basic, but even my wife (who often complains about rooms being too small or uncomfortable) thought this a nice local hotel to stay. Pub below is a nice place to have dinner/breakfast. Personnel very friendly. We’ll go there again in the future

Very pleasant and helpful, we arrived earlier than the assigned check-in and Heidi was very helpful and let us leave our bags so we could venture out for the afternoon. Highly recommend, and also the pub down stairs.

Very warm welcoming, uncomplicated service. Lovely little pub inhouse, excellent staff. Anytime again!

Had a very enjoyable stay — the room was comfortable, and I slept well. The pub downstairs has a great vibe and friendly staff. I also really appreciated the helpfulness when I had some trouble getting into my room. Would definitely stay again!

Amazing cozy and friendly

Staff were amazing. Very friendly. We would definitely stay again if we come back to the area.

We arrived late for an overnight stop before getting a ferry in the morning. Perfect service

Clean facility, friendly staff, and good food! The breakfast was INCREDIBLE!

Friendly, helpful, competent staff

Lovely place to stay in Dover. Perfect for one night

Tuvimos que pasar una noche en Dover debido a la huelga en el Eurotúnel, y afortunadamente él buscador nos trajo a este sitio encantador. Ambiente cálido, hotel muy moderno, la habitación es pequeñita pero tiene todo lo necesario. Hay aparcamiento en la misma puerta, incluso con cargador para coches eléctricos, y la zona es muy bonita. Además, pudimos quedarnos a dormir con nuestra perrita. Absolutamente recomendable si no vas a estar más de una o dos noches.

A good place to stay when visiting Dover. Lots of people use it for the port. We used it to visit the castle and Battke of Britain memorial. Parking is a bit tight in the car park so we used the road. Breakfast is good and food options in the evening also good. Room has everything you need and is cosy.

Nice location quiet out the way food is very reasonably priced. Breakfast is also nice. Wi-Fi is good free parking. The only thing for me is breakfast doesn’t start till eight and usually have to be at work by then apart from that no complaints.

Wonderful hosts, conveniently located between canterbury and dover.

The location is the Hotel's biggest selling point as it is so close to the Dover Castle and the White Cliffs. The room was ok for a "base" but would not recommend it for a long stay. The food served was excellent.

Loved the friendly staff and the locals. Love the atmosphere of the pub...Great breakfast...will stay here again for sure

We liked everything, the room was spotless, the staff were very helpful and friendly, the breakfast was excellent and the parking was nice and easy

Lovely little stop, shame no food was being served of an evening meant we had to drive out and find a decent pub which wasn't that easy. Room was lovely and clean mattress a little lumpy but good pillows. I did ask for a printed invoice as Hotels.com dont provide this with VAT which is a huge problem for business users. Places need to understand this and prepare VAT receipts also if you take one payment the receipt needs to be one not two.

The individuality of the room design. The quality of fixtures and fittings. The total peace and quiet. The only downside was the need to go out for dinner because they don't serve food on Sunday evening at present

Clean renovated rooms. Great breakfast. Friendly service
