Advantages: Wodnerful Staff, Clean, Classy, Good Location - Everything Disadvantages: I have not a bad word to say about them!
After a very unfortunate start to our city break to Amsterdam my friend and I arrived at this hotel. I want to tell you all the shortened version of what actually happened...
Our Tour Operator booked us into the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Den Haag instead of the hotel in Schiphol [where the airport is]. Not wanting to miss out on the sights of Amsterdam, and not wanting to travel 60km each way between the sights and the hotel we made our way to Amsterdam. After about 300EUR in transport, conmen taxi drivers, and "Sorry we're full, good luck!" from ever hotelier we were directed to the GardenHotel by their sister hotel Jan Luyken.
We arrived to see a hotel in a quiet area next to a canal with ducks and boats...absolutely gorgeous area! Lovely houses, lots of plants and trees and of course the ducks and geese! The hotel had a red ...
Advantages: This was a very good hotel in it's day Disadvantages: Burnt down in 1999
Review of The Garden House Hotel, Folkestone, Kent, England
You will note that my title for this review states that the Garden House Hotel WAS a good hotel.
So why is the word WAS in capitals?
Well, Ciao is a little out dated as this hotel actually burnt down in 1999!
The Hotel
I was born and brought up in Folkestone, Kent and remember this hotel as one of the grand old Victorian buildings that used to dominate my home town before the property developers moved in and turned us into a concrete jungle. Folkestone is a seaside town on the South East coast of England. It is around 70 miles from London and around 16 miles from the city of Canterbury. The cross Channel port of Dover is approximately 7 miles along the coast. Folkestone was a very popular holiday destination from the time of Queen Victoria.
The Garden House ...
Advantages: Friendly and helpful owners / Clean / Good Food / Swimming pools / Garden / Free pick-up. Disadvantages: Can't think of any.
Everything said in the description is true and more so. The owners (Jenny and Eugene) are invariably friendly and helpful. All the staff are the same. The hotel is spotlessly clean. The food is excellent (and as vegetarians we certainly appreciate this). The pool is immense - there are smaller pools for smaller people. The garden is lovely. History, culture or clubbing are a short bus (bus stop across the road) or taxi ride.
The village is a ten minute walk away. There are several bars and restaurants. A supermarket. Clothes and shoe shops. This is a working village where real people really live.
It must be good:- This is our tenth visit. Others have been even more often.
Due to the present financial crisis (May 2009) there are still rooms available throughout the year. ...
