FAQs when booking at Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone

  • What’s special about this hotel that makes it a good choice?

    Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone is known as being one of the top hotels in the region for entertainment and dining, having no less than three high-quality restaurants. It offers very good views from its rooms over Folkestone Harbour and the English Channel beyond. It’s family- and pet-friendly, with a games room for the kids and plenty of evening entertainment for adults.

  • Which room makes a good choice when booking at the hotel?

    If you want something a little bit special over a standard room at Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone, without going for the top suites, you can book a Triple Room. It has enough space for three single beds or a double and a single, so you can be there as a couple and enjoy the extra room, book the room as a family or share it with mates if you’re staying at the hotel to take day trips to France or Belgium. It comes with an en-suite bathroom, is pet friendly and offers great views over the channel.

  • What’s the attraction of eating at the hotel’s restaurants?

    It’s hard to choose between the three restaurants at Grand Burstin Hotel Folkestone, so perhaps it’s wise to always make sure you book for at least three nights. Humour aside, you really will want to try them all. The grand Victorian Restaurant is magnificent, with an imaginative chef-curated menu. The Harbour Restaurant is popular not only with hotel guests but with townsfolk too. You can enjoy anything from light meals to a full carvery, with a view over Folkestone Harbour. For evening and late night drinks and snacks, there’s Maritime Lounge.

  • What kind of spa or fitness facilities does the hotel offer?

    The hotel offers some very good spa and fitness amenities. This includes fitness trainers on hand in a gym that has all the modern hardware, including free weights, cardio and resistance equipment. There is also a two-tier sauna and a heated swimming pool for a wind-down after working out or simply to enjoy for their own sakes. One thing to note is that only people from the age of 16 may use these amenities.

  • What kinds of accessibility features can I expect at the hotel?

    All areas of the hotel have enhanced mobility facilities. There are toilets on the ground floor, and lifts to all bedrooms are fully accessible. Wheelchair-friendly bedrooms are available, as are induction loops and evacuation chairs. You’ll have no problem accessing any of the hotel’s restaurants, and there is a hearing loop at reception. Magnetic doors are provided, and you can also ask for a small fridge for medication.

  • What are the easiest ways to get from the hotel to the nearest airport?

    Since the nearest airport, London Southend Airport (SEN) in Essex, is just over 80 miles from Folkestone and the hotel, you’ll want to make the trip as efficiently as possible. You can drive along the M20, which will take a bit over 1h 30min. The reason for the relatively long distance is that you have to skirt the Thames Estuary on the way. If you’re relying on public transport, the trip will be a shade longer but not inconvenient at all. You can catch a train at Folkestone Central Station to Stratford in London, which will take about 45min, and then hop across to one that goes to Southend Airport. This will take the same amount of time again.
