Reviews of Dover Castle Hostel

The location was excellent, just a short walk from popular attractions and public transportation. the rooms were clean and comfortable, with daily housekeeping ensuring a pleasant stay. the staff was helpful and friendly, providing a warm welcome and addressing any questions or concerns. the security measures were commendable, making us feel safe throughout our stay.
The noise from the bar downstairs was a major drawback, especially during nighttime parties with loud music that lasted until 2 AM. It made it nearly impossible to get a good night's sleep, and we ended up having to buy earplugs. there were no lockers in the rooms, so we had to rent a large locker for £1 a day.

Dover Castle, located close to the tube, was the perfect choice for me. the manager took great care in ensuring the safety of all guests, which gave me peace of mind. the comfortable beds and spotless rooms added to the enjoyable experience. the hardworking staff were friendly and accommodating. One standout feature was the convenient storage facility where we could drop off our luggage before check-in.
It was perfect!

The location of this hostel was great, just a short walk from the nearest tube station and close to some major attractions. The staff were helpful and friendly, always ready to answer any questions I had. The duvet and sheets in the dorm were clean, which was a plus.
The internet was quite unreliable during my stay, which could be a problem if you need to do any online work. The connection would often disappear for about half an hour before coming back.

The free breakfast was a nice addition and had a good variety of options. . the location of the hostel was very convenient, with key attractions within walking distance. I appreciated the friendly and helpful staff who were always willing to assist.
The water pressure in the showers was very low and it was difficult to regulate the temperature. . the cleanliness of the hostel was a real concern, with floors and showers not being properly washed.

During my Easter stay, I really liked the fact that the property was conveniently located near a metro stop. It made it easy to explore the city and get around without any hassle. the area surrounding the hostel was great, with plenty of shops, restaurants, and attractions nearby. Another advantage that I enjoyed was the cleanliness of the hostel. The rooms were well-maintained and the common areas were kept tidy, creating a pleasant atmosphere for guests.
One of the things I disliked about my stay was the cleanliness of the bathroom. It wasn't as clean as it should have been, which was a bit disappointing.

The value for money at Dover Castle was great, with clean rooms and friendly staff. The location was convenient, with easy access to public transportation and walking distance to attractions like Borough Market.

The location of this hostel was fantastic, with key landmarks such as Tower Bridge and the Borough metro station just a stone's throw away. It made getting around the city a breeze. the continental breakfast provided was a nice touch, with options like cereal with milk, toast with jam, apples, tea and coffee. the friendly atmosphere in the pub downstairs was also a highlight, creating a fun and social environment. the comfortable kitchen and sitting area were great for relaxing and socializing with other travelers.
That the rooms on the higher floors could get quite stuffy, as they lacked proper ventilation. Another issue was that there was only one shower per floor, which was not sufficient for the number of guests.

The free breakfast was simple but satisfying. I particularly appreciated the discount at the pub downstairs. it was a good value for money and I would consider staying there again.

The location was also great, with the underground and bus stations just a short walk away. It made it convenient for us to explore the city. Plus, the staff were friendly and helpful, which added to our overall positive experience.
The cleanliness of the rooms, showers, and toilets was not up to par. We were a bit disappointed as we expected a cleaner environment.
