Dover's Restover

Had a lovely stay at Dover's Restover, which I was nervous about given some of the reviews here. Yes, this is a bed and breakfast, so don't expect an elevator bank or scores of rooms. ||With one other person, we had a quaint room on the 3rd floor. No AC, but it's fall and wasn't a problem with a fan going. Breakfast was great, and a bargain, and I like that it's separate from the room rate - not everyone wants a British breakfast daily.||Our hosts were fantastic and helpful. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Very disappointed with this place. I booked a room in August 2023 but mistakenly booked for the next weekend. I showed up to Dover Restover (a week before my booking) and the lady there was kind but explained that I had booked the wrong weekend and didn’t have a room for me. No problem, my mistake. She told me she couldn’t refund me then and to go online. The next day I went online, as instructed, to request a refund and received a message back that no refund could be given since they have an 8 day ahead cancellation policy and I was trying to cancel 7 days ahead. I therefore ended up having to pay full price for a room I didn’t use that was most likely rented to someone else. I pleaded with the owner and he basically told me there nothing he could do. This is scam-like behavior. I completely understand needing cancellation policies but not being at all flexible given my situation and was pretty cruel. Be careful of renting here.

Bit small, sufficient though. Our room was on 2nd (3rd?) floor, a lot of narrow steps with luggage. We had some minor issue with a toilet that didn't get resolved until our departure. The staff is extremely pleasant and helpful. The breakfast is worth the cost, very tasty. Reliable Wi-Fi internet access. The room has a kettle with generous coffee supply. The train station is just across the street, very convenient. The ferry is just 10 minutes taxi ride. City center about 10 minutes walk. The castle 30 minutes uphill ;-) walk. I would definitely recommend this place.

A lovely warm greeting by Jan. A very comfy, quiet room. Car parked off the road. A wonderful 'all you can eat' cooked breakfast by George. Considering some of the breakfasts we'd had on our travels, this was by far the best in quality, amount and price!! A great location for Dover's amenities. 5 mins from the port. We would DEFINITELY stay there again! Full marks for customer service too! Thank you!

Gets what you pay for. It’s an economic option, so don’t expect the Ritz. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was fine but not included in the room rate - it’s an extra tenner. Stairs are very narrow and very steep, as are the entrance steps. Clean, tidy, but rather dated. But it’s fine - does what it says on the tin. At the end of the day, it’s an old style budget guest house in a seaside port that’s going through a slow regeneration - and there’s lots of competition, so not all of these places will survive the current cost of living crisis.

Spent 3 nights here in September. Jan and George were very welcoming and made us feel at home - we enjoyed chatting with them. Close to the train station and in easy walking distance of all the fun things in Dover. The room was clean and comfortable and breakfast was very nice.||||Would definitely stay here again next time we're in Dover.

The owners are so nice and smiley and welcoming!!! I couldn't give a 5 stars just because of the heating. It was really cold when we get there, it was late afternoon, and unfortunately because of the central heating, they couldn't "switch on" at the time we needed. A part from that, our weekend was lovely. And the breakfast was great, with chats about the place, and tips on what to do and must see. We loved them.

Very friendly host and staff could not do enough for us. Close to town center. Dose a a few stairs to entrance and rooms.
