“Westward Ho Hotel presents a mixed bag, and location is its undeniable high point, so close to the coast in Folkestone. I'm swayed by reports of spacious, well-kept rooms, though some experiences seem to fall short of that mark. It seems like a gamble, but perhaps one worth taking for budget travellers prioritizing sea views.”

the room smelled a little. i also found the breakfast quite basic. the croissants seemed like they came straight from a supermarket. i think they could improve this aspect.

I found the staff very friendly and helpful. I secured a car parking space for £6 overnight, a convenient arrangement in a private lot opposite the hotel. The room was spacious and the beds felt very comfy. Soft towels were included, and the room featured its own bathroom.
The light outside was a bit too bright at night.

The room was quite dated, something i found frustrating. the bathroom felt cramped. The toilet and shower were crammed into what was like a tiny cupboard. on-street parking proved difficult. I ended up parking a couple of streets away from the hotel, creating more issues than i hoped for
