"We had a wonderful four-night stay at The Granary. It was spotlessly clean and had everything we could possibly need. The bed was so comfortable and we slept very well. We enjoyed the peaceful, relaxing location. It was also great to not have to worry about car parking. Thank you Hazel and Robin for being such great hosts."

Dover Marina Hotel & Spa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

Dover Marina Hotel & Spa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent
"I had a very enjoyable stay at the Dover Marina Hotel & Spa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton. The hotel’s location is excellent, overlooking the waterfront and conveniently close to the ferry terminal and town centre. The only downside was that the room was quite small, especially with luggage, but it was exceptionally clean, comfortable, and well maintained. The air conditioning worked perfectly, keeping the room cool throughout my stay, which made a big difference. The highlight was undoubtedly the restaurant. Dinner exceeded my expectations, with delicious, beautifully prepared food and generous portions. Every dish was full of flavour and clearly made with care. The service was equally impressive. The staff were friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely welcoming, making the dining experience even more enjoyable. The hotel staff throughout the property were courteous and helpful from check-in to departure, creating a warm and relaxing atmosphere. Although I would have preferred a larger room, the cleanliness, comfort, excellent dining, and outstanding service more than made up for it. Overall, I had a very pleasant stay and would happily recommend the Dover Marina Hotel & Spa to anyone visiting Dover. I would certainly stay here again."
