About The Carlton Hotel
Families, groups and anyone travelling by car tend to get on well with The Carlton Hotel, a 70-room property set along The Leas in Folkestone with free on-site parking and sea views from many rooms. It works equally well as a base for a coastal break or a stop en route to Port Lympne Wild Animal Park, and Folkestone Central station is close by for those arriving by train.
Rooms come with en-suite bathrooms, drinks and family rooms are available for those travelling with children, who are also catered for with kids' meals in the restaurant. Guests have use of a bar, snack bar, outdoor seating and a picnic area, plus breakfast and free WiFi throughout. A lift serves all floors, and practical extras such as luggage storage, laundry service and concierge support are on hand, alongside meeting rooms and business services for anyone combining work with their stay.
Outside the hotel, the area offers cycling and walking routes, golf and fishing nearby, watersports along the coast, and a choice of pubs, bars and restaurants within easy reach. It suits travellers who want a straightforward, well-equipped seaside base rather than a boutique experience.
