Great experience all around
We had such a pleasant experience staying here. The room was clean and quiet. John is an excellent concierge and provided the best recommendations on things to do during our stay in Dover! Highly recommended!
Holly
John, the host, was very welcoming and gave us detailed information about Dover and recommended various places to eat. It was a perfect location, close to Dover Castle, the White Cliffs, and the city center. Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable.

David
It was very cute. Nothing fancy but very clean and John was a wonderful host.
Davis
Wonderful place. Clean, large room, fellow that runs the place is super nice and helpful
Jayakrishnan
Great location, close to everything. They have no parking, you have to figure it out yourself. Free and convenient overnight parking is available a stone's throw away. Building and room were a bit musty. Quite overpriced in my view for the amenities on offer; that was likely because it was a last-minute booking.
Helen
The proprietor is extremely personable and kind. I also loved the accommodations the room was large and well appointed.
Ada
Lovely guest house
The place has a lovely warm English feel and John the concierge makes it very welcoming.
David
Very clean, very quaint, very cute. No lift but owner/mgr carried our bags up and down our flight of stairs. No parking. Cab had to drop us off and pu on the sidewalk. Highly recommend
James
St Martins Guest House is a great place to enjoy old England. My wife and I enjoyed visiting Dover, and John made it home. His knowledge and enthusiasm for this area made our trip. I highly recommend it.
Lyla
Very cute and comfortable room. Outstanding management. The gentleman that ran the hotel was very knowledgeable of the area and told us all about the local history. The hotel is walkable to the castle and the cruise port.
James
John the property manager was great. His knowledge of the area and history made our stay very enjoyable. Hotel is a page out of old English history. A pleasure to stay at a unique and historic hotel.
Scott
Just stayed one night before our cruise out of the port of Dover.
If you're looking for an authentic English experience in a vintage property this is for you.
We had absolutely no problems with the property and the host is marvelous.
He goes way out of his way to accommodate and help. He also arranged a taxi service for us and gave us information on what was nearby.
Just some basic information, the hotel is not air conditioned so if you're booking a summer trip that might be a factor. There are no elevators in the property and our room was on the third floor so you must be able to use stairs.
This was a former residence and so there is no lobby, sitting area, restaurant, bar etc on site. The room was quite comfortable it has a full size bed - separate bathroom and toilet. There is no fridge in the room. Its well kept but the building is hundreds of years old. The room door used a skeleton key.
We were looking for an authentic vintage English experience (and that was what we got) no real complaints -but this is not a hotel, if that's what your looking for.
Not a lot to see or do around the hotel except for the castle, there is a shopping center with some supermarkets.
The hotel is within walking to
Dover castle, but be aware it's a lot of walking and most of it is uphill and you need to be in good shape with sensible shoes.
Getting to the port of Dover requires a taxi it's only about a 5 to 10 minute drive 8 pounds. FYI there is no Uber or Lyft in Dover England.

Marian
Beautiful quaint guest house, hosted by the kind and very helpful John and his lovely wife who went above and beyond. John was helpful in sharing information about local attractions as well as nice places to eat. Really enjoyed a quiet weekend away at the coast. Must stay if you’re in Dover.
Michael
John is the perfect host, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay
Chris
Close to the Castle. Free on street parking opposite the guest house. Large bedroom with a sitting area. It is dated, but clean and does the job. Convenient to walk into town. 5 stars for John who works there. Such a lovely, friendly guy.
Carol
The best thing about this property is its location. Its website lists it as a B and B, but there was no breakfast. The owner is not at all amenable yo early check-in or late check out, necessitating for us a 2 1/2 hour wait with no services at a cruise terminal.
Additionally, neither Kleenex nor shampoo was provided. Amenities were basic.

Charming Guest House
We stayed in two rooms here for a night before joining our cruise and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. It is close to the white cliffs of Dover and Dover castle and only a mile from the port. St Martins is very well located. John, the concierge was amazing and always wanted to please. As other reviews noted, he is very knowledgeable of the area. The rooms were very clean. As others have stated St. Martins is a guest house. Rooms are small and basic and there isn't any air conditioning. If those things are important to you you are better off booking a large hotel. We felt the positives of this charming place far outweighed any of that other stuff and inexpensive at about 100 pounds a night.
Brian
The guest house was as we expected it. Nice and clean, whoever painted it over the last couple of years did a really nice job. Well positioned the everything. The pub around the corner was good to visit for a drink. We were met by John when we arrived and found him delightful to talk to. Happy to provide advice about where to go and what to see, and just generally interested in us. For our travels we caught the #15 bus to Canterbury which was nice to visit, the cathedral was undergoing renovation work so after paying our entry fee we got our money back. Did the zodiac boat ride to view the white cliffs, simply wonderful. Visited the castle which was great. Thanks John for your advice to see the Bronze Age boat- they showed a video of how it was found and retrieved, we were very impressed. I’d recommend St Martins guest house!
Kendra
St. Martins Guest House was conveniently located within town and perfect for our stay in Dover. John the concierge was kind, helpful and shared his wealth of knowledge about the area and the local history. Our cruise ship was delayed for multiple days and John was able to accommodate us and saved us from having to find another place to stay in an already very full town. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for all of your help!!
Vicki
Our host, John is the best!
The best part about our stay was our host, John! He told us about the history of the area and recommended restaurants and a side trip to Canterbury which we didn’t have on our itinerary and was so glad we did! Thanks again John!!
Bruce
Great location, staff was super friendly and very helpful, would definitely stay again if we ever go back to Dover.
Joe
Lovely place. Great location
Pamela
John goes over and beyond to make sure everything is OK. From the pleased to meet you welcome he was there at every turn until the cherry wave goodbye. Invaluable personal service!
herbert
John was great to work with during our stay. There is no sitting space outside your room in case you arrive early or leave later and no food service option. Very close to Dover castle. Bed not that comfortable. Dated decor and the shower is literally in the room and not a separate bathroom.
Valerie
Very friendly and helpful, great suggestions for area. Wonderful quiet place to stay. Clean
Peter
The concierge was very helpful. Bag dropoff prior to check-in was both quick and easy as well as convenient.

Verified traveler
Enjoyed our stay at this lovely home within walking distance of the town center. John was so helpful and knowledgeable about Dover He helped us pin down taxi service as soon as he heard we were going on a cruise the next day. Without him, we would have had to wait until the taxi’s were free from taking passengers getting off the cruise. I definitely want to explore Dover in the future and would stay here again.
David
