If you are looking for a 5 star hotel, this is NOT it.

If you are looking for a clean with a great downtown Dover location for a wonderful price - this is it.

Everything was fine. My only comment is that the room was stuffy and I would love to have been able to open the window. Even if it was just to be able to move the top sash down a bit to let some fresh air in. Everything else was perfect.

Loved having access to a kitchen and a washing machine, much needed after 3 wks camping. Beds were supper comfy cozy, and contrary to other reviews we did not find the street noise bothersome, and we had the windows open. Traffic noise calmed by midnight.
Place was very well looked after by hardworking staff, we saw staff regularly in the 4 days we stayed. Shout out to them, because it's deplorable the mess other guests left in the kitchen. Very inconsiderate not leaving it clean for the next users.

Locating Dover Town Rooms presents something of a challenge. Google maps does not acknowledge the existence of Eastbrook Place, which appears to be part of another road, Maison Dieu Road, and actually has Dover Town Rooms marked at no. 3, not no. 5.

It is quite easy, if coming by car, to sail past the property heading towards the end of a busy one-way street with 2 lanes, as one concentrates on negotiating the intersection ahead, wondering if you have simply missed it, or whether it lies further ahead beyond the traffic lights. Nor is it particularly easy to identify the number 5. Do not make the mistake, as I did, of imagining that there might be a helpful sign outside saying 'Dover Town Rooms'. There is merely a darkly painted door with a number 5 on it.

Check-in was something of an ordeal, and not an experience I would choose to repeat in a hurry, requiring photos of driving licence, uploads to a website, full address, email, phone number (no autofill), etc etc.

That completed, I arrived and was greeted by a rat scuttling along the pavement and into a vent hole - though admittedly it seemed to be resident at the adjoining property, no. 4. Armed with various codes, I was able to gain entry, at which point things began to improve. The hallway was brightly lit - almost too brightly - and appeared to have been the recipient of large amounts of white paint recently applied. Following a brief tussle with the key box outside my room, I found myself in what was quite a pleasant

The room, once I checked in was fine. Prior to checkin, I had to provide a copy of my passport, but the scanning app did not accept my passport. I then sent a photo which was accepted. It then wanted a selfie, and after 6 failed attempts because it could not provide a match, I gave up. There is no one on site, they provide a code via email to access the front door, and the room keys. I do not have data on my phone, so had to access WiFi somewhere in order to get the codes. It turned out OK, but I probably would not book there again.

Hi, I would like a refund for my stay. I was not able to check in because the ID verification page was down and the property had no in-person front desk.

The host responded very slowly and the phone was not reachable after the first call. I was standing cold outside with absolutely no one on the street to help. I was lucky to find a lodging place down the street. This experience was definitely not what a traveler was expecting in an unfamiliar and less populated city by yourself.

Both the property and Expedia should make this clear that this is an unmanned lodging with nobody to help and questionable reliability. If you want a peace of mind, you should be looking for somewhere else.

This was an unfortunate case due to a technical issue with the website. Once again it is up to your call as I have no procedural power to let you refund me. I cannot even reach out to Expedia about past booking. But in good faith I think the property and Expedia should refund the traveler and do better next time.

Lovely stay, very convenient to the train station, cliffs walk and castle. Kitchen and laundry facilities available for use which was nice. Only downside was the sink in our room did not drain well so we didn’t really get to use it properly.

A very comfortable room, and a well planned room. Windows opened. Kitchen was well stocked and had everything from microwave, fridge, stove as well as a washing machine. Location close to city centre.
Only problem was there was no free parking between 8.30 am and 5.30 pm anywhere in Dover.

The room was ok but the tv remote did not work. The bed was ok for me but others might find it uncomfortable. The bathrooms were on another floor but otherwise ok . There is a small kitchen 2 floors above which is good but you do have to go looking for it. Only one person at a time in it though.

Large room, basic but very clean and comfortable. Be aware that room 1 is in the basement, narrow circular stairs to descend. Easy access to shared bathroom, fully equipped communal kitchen super clean and tidy. No tea/coffee making facilities in room. No signage on the building so little difficult to find.

Its extremely centrally located, which made it super easy to walk everywhere I wanted to go. The property was easy to check in and out from. I was in one of the small loft rooms, and the room was clean, there was plenty of space for me to spread out. My window overlooked the back garden which offered a sense of privacy, especially since I had the window open most of the time. Overall, a wonderful stay - would highly recommend, especially for a soli traveller.

Our room had a view of the castle, and was pleasantly spacious. The busy road in front, with a narrow pavement, was less ideal. Still well worth the trouble, and it would have been easier had we arrived before dark.

Amazing view of the castle from a very spacious room. Very clean. We were in room 6 (twin beds) which was on the 1st floor (but in UK floors start with Ground so there was a flight of stairs). There was only one other room on that floor to share the bathroom with so no problem. The property does have a kitchen and a kitchenette so you can prepare (or reheat) meals. There is no staff on the property so you need to provide ID electronically in advance and will get keypad and other info before check in. I would definately stay here agsin.

This is really a review of Expedia, not Kent Escapes and Dover Town Rooms, who had closed the latter for long-term water-damage repairs. Apparently they told Expedia this, who replied that they'd note the change, then cancel and refund outstanding reservations. That didn't happen in my case, which left me sitting in Dover trying to get in touch with someone - anyone - about my reservation. When I finally did managed to talk to someone, I was told the above story. Perhaps the owners/managers are passing the buck here, but I'm inclined to believe them and suspect instead that Expedia dropped the ball. Luckily there were other options available in town. If my suspicion is right, it's the first problem I've had with Expedia, so I'm happy to write it off as a one-time glitch - all's well that ends well. But for other travellers it might be a cautionary tale about unreservedly trusting big booking sites like Expedia when reserving small local places: follow up early with the local business directly!

Good ,When l ask for a fan , because room hot , one came next day. When l was having trouble with key, they came within about 1 hour and fix it.Room clean , good furniture, T.V. Very good shower.

Not Good, had a bit of trouble getting in, as no one there to show me in.Took service charge ,out the day before l arrived, did not answer my emails on arrival procedure.Very noisy room, could hear people going in and of there rooms,doors banging when they are going out, including street door.Room door of course fire door, but very large gap at bottom, maybe, put some insulation tape on to cover, some of gap, to reduce noise. communal kitchen, smelt a bit damp , fridges could do with a bit of a clean.
Garden had some work done , but still needs a bit of a clean.
Bed a bit small , and lumpy mattress.But could live with it.Could do with more towel rails.
