The Southcliff Hotel - A recently refurbished 3-star hotel with sea views, a terrace, and live music

The Southcliff Hotel offers 65 en-suite rooms with tea/coffee facilities, private bathrooms, and flat-screen TVs, some featuring panoramic views of the English Channel or the South Downs. Guests can enjoy two bars, including The Blue Martini Bar, which hosts live music on weekends until 00:30. The hotel is a short walk from Folkestone's sandy beach and Lower Leas Coastal Park, with proximity to landmarks like Folkestone Harbour Arm and the Battle of Britain Memorial in Capel-le-Ferne. A 24-hour front desk, free WiFi, and two meeting rooms cater to business and leisure travelers. The Southcliff Hotel also features a fully equipped ballroom for events accommodating 100-150 guests.

Pros

Recently refurbished reception area with comfortable seating and tasteful decor.

Some rooms offer private balconies with sea views.

Live music and a vibrant atmosphere at The Blue Martini Bar on weekends.

Close to coastal walks, golf courses, and historical sites.

Cons

Some rooms may experience noise due to proximity to the public bar or road.

No on-site restaurant, though several dining options are nearby.

“The Southcliff Hotel offers a dose of Victorian charm and Channel views without breaking the bank. Balcony rooms make the most of the location, and the staff earn consistent praise. Ongoing renovations suggest even better stays are ahead-a solid value, steps from the Leas Cliff Pavilion.”
