A Victorian house hotel on Langhorne Gardens in Folkestone, Kent, with a laid-back pub feel and simple, no-frills rooms.
About Windsor Hotel
Langhorne Gardens sits within easy reach of Folkestone's coastal attractions and town centre, and it's here that the Windsor Hotel occupies a Victorian house with the kind of unfussy, family-run character that comes from being run the same way for years. The building itself has an old-fashioned charm, with a bar that leans more towards a relaxed local pub than a polished hotel lounge.
Rooms are simple and functional rather than stylish, with en-suite bathrooms, drinks available in room, and family rooms for those travelling with children. A lift serves the upper floors, and reception is staffed around the clock. Breakfast is included, there's a restaurant on site, and free WiFi covers the property throughout. Free on-site parking is a practical bonus for anyone driving down to the Kent coast.
Beyond the hotel, guests can walk or cycle along the surrounding coastline, try fishing or watersports nearby, or head out to a local golf course. Pubs, restaurants and entertainment are all within easy reach, and pets are welcome for those bringing the whole family along. It's a straightforward base for exploring Folkestone rather than a destination in itself.

I must say, this place was fantastic. I have stayed at the Savoy in London and this was a step up from that. The room was so luxurious, spotlessly clean and the beds looked very expensive. The reception staff were extremely attentive, and nothing was ever too much trouble. I don't need to be smiled at or neither do I engage in idle chit chat so their style of managing a guest suited me perfectly. The furniture was obviuosly expensive antique style baroque covered in gold leaf and the carpet was real Axminster. Not something the Savoy can lay claim to. The smell of the room was to die for, and I was so happy that as I left the hotel, the smell of the room seemed to linger on my clothes, that was special and kept the memory of being there all day long. We shared the room with many small guests, who were fairly quiet and only came out to see us when we were asleep so didn't really disturb us at all. All in all, a wonderful stay and if stay again one day, it won't be day too soon. However,I had taken 2 double dipped strawberry acid tabs so maybe my judgement could have been impaired. Try it out, you won't forget this hotel for the rest of your life.

Not giving a star as that is an insult,flea ridden,the adams family had more up dated furniture, please don’t go, we went for my grandson’s parade, didn’t stay as the place is a dropouts paradise, got followed in with an unsavoury character, the-owner was fast asleep when we left 15 minutes later ,he never even seen use because he was drunk. Please don’t go as booking dot com will allow this to happen had to give a star as it don’t let you post.

Although a little tired and dated the Windsor is owned by a lovely couple. The 23 of us who checked in were made to feel very welcome. The beds were clean and comfortable. Rooms at the front were very hot but more due to the weather than the rooms themselves. Thank you for your hospitalily.
