About

It is directly behind Sandgate Castle, which is a favorite spot for local fishermen catching sea bass and mackerel. Gee's our Bar serves draft lagers and house wines. Free WiFi, a TV and tea/coffee making facilities are featured in all rooms at Royal Norfolk. Breakfast is available in the morning. The neighboring town of Folkestone can be reached in a 15-minute walk and features many shops, a cinema, and the Leas Cliffs. Port Lympne Wild Animal Park is a 15-minute drive, and the town of Dover is just 11 miles away. The Royal Norfolk hotel is on a busy High Street that is also the coast road to Brighton!

    Clean and spacious, the host was nice and welcoming. located next to the beach, great for a walk in the morning

    a bit unlucky as there was a birthday party at the same night we stayed, loud music and chatters til 11 pm - the host did communicated about and i understand they had done the best to quiet it down

    Lovely hotel setting to stay in. Great location. Amazing customer service from the staff - the managers are the most accommodating I have ever known - highly recommended.

    The room was very spacious, clean and comfortable. The manager and staff could not have been kinder or more helpful. They made us very welcome and worked very hard to ensure that we had no problems

    Very warm welcome in the bright bustling bar and no wait to be booked in. Owner kindly carried my case up to the first floor to our clean bright inviting room in this historic high street late Victorian hotel. Enjoyed the continental breakfast in the pleasant restaurant. Very likely to stay again in the future.
