Damp smelling and broken door handles

Close to town and station

With the window open, it was sometimes noisy from people who were visiting the garage opposite.

Easy to find, parking opposite was available near to the all night garage. The host explained everything clearly. It's a cheap no thrills accommodation, which is all I needed.

Small rooms. Congested stairways. No lift. Smelly everywhere.

Cheap compared to UK standards. Free roadside parking next to petrol pump after 6 PM.

It's pretty noisy (gulls, traffic). It didn't bother me too much, but it might if you are a light sleeper. I can't really blame the hotel for the fact that I was stung by a wasp during the night!

You probably wouldn't come here for your honeymoon, but for the price there is not much to complain about.

Musty smell

Location to port.

The petrol station is on the other side which is open 7*24 hours and creates a lot of noise.

Close to the center of Dover.

Very good location for the ferry port

Cons - • Hotel parking doesn’t have one. Had to park above the hotel where there is a parking lot but 10-12 minutes walk to get to the hotel that’s free parking 24/7. • the floors of the bathroom felt that needed to changed due feeling like waters seeped through it and making the floors feel like it cave in. • the shower and sink faucet would start running for a couple seconds but then it would stop and takes a couple tries to have the water running again. • the room itself, was decently cleaned but it felt not the best. • There was a few bugs that I found on my bed and that made it uncomfortable. • as far as value, just feels like you are paying how close you are to the city or beach as it’s not far away to there.

Pros - • Close to the city which is a few minutes of a walk. • The walk to the beach is 10-15 minutes.

Extremely noisy from other guests banging around early morning and late at night. It says it's a no smoking property which is good as I don't smoke but clearly someone before had been smoking in my room as the room smelled pretty bad.

Musty smell in the room and corridors, very outdated beds

Good location if you have an early morning ferry and bathroom was really clean.

The room is small but adequate, but the ensuite is really tiny. The property needs tarting up a bit with better paintwork. It's on a main road with 24hr filling station opposite, and a lot of noise. The single glazed windows lets it straight in. A socket by the bed for phone charging would be lovely, though there was one elsewhere in the room.

Alma House is ideally located near the white cliffs dock area and castle. There is free parking in the road opposite after 5:30 pm. The accommodation is basic but adequate for a short stay. The price reflects this. A staff member let me in and gave me the main door and room code for the day of my stay.

The building and room itself is a tad rough and ready, but for short stays it’s bearable.

Close to centre and station

Cleanliness (bathroom)

It was exactly what we had expected. Good for a one night stay. Cheep and convenient location.

Garage over the road was handy for coffee and snacks, handy for a morning ferry.

The road noise overlooking a petrol station and it was like having a heard of elephants above me every night there's no soundproofing without earplugs sleeping would have been hard

The bed was comfortable

Host was a bit grumpy. WiFi did not work most of the time. Our host blamed our “gadgets”.

Not sure what else might have been available in Dover, so think it was as good as it gets.

You get what you pay for. No one answered the door for an extended period of time while I tried to check in. I tried contacting the owner in the morning and no one answered or called me back. Very loud through the whole night, I would recommend ear plugs.

Black mould everywhere and host is very abrupt. Walls are peeling and whole building could use some TLC.

Nice communal area

Stayed in July 2024

Very small room, narrow hallway, step staircase, and heavy doors. It is difficult to handle heavy luggage. Old and small bathroom as well as a smelly shared kitchen. We were asked not to drink the water from the bathroom. Only tapwater in the kitchen is drinkable.

Close to ferry port. Good option for those who need to get on an early ferry and need no comfort. Helpful staff. Convenience store opposite the hotel. Close to town.

Stayed in August 2024

Close to train station & city centre, with a 24-hr convenience store across the street. Polite & helpful host.

The room was just as expected and it was a good, affordable option that I would return to.
