St Martin's Guest House

Wonderful place. Clean, large room, fellow that runs the place is super nice and helpful

The proprietor is extremely personable and kind. I also loved the accommodations the room was large and well appointed.

The place has a lovely warm English feel and John the concierge makes it very welcoming.

Very clean, very quaint, very cute. No lift but owner/mgr carried our bags up and down our flight of stairs. No parking. Cab had to drop us off and pu on the sidewalk. Highly recommend

St Martins Guest House is a great place to enjoy old England. My wife and I enjoyed visiting Dover, and John made it home. His knowledge and enthusiasm for this area made our trip. I highly recommend it.

Very cute and comfortable room. Outstanding management. The gentleman that ran the hotel was very knowledgeable of the area and told us all about the local history. The hotel is walkable to the castle and the cruise port.

John the property manager was great. His knowledge of the area and history made our stay very enjoyable. Hotel is a page out of old English history. A pleasure to stay at a unique and historic hotel.

Just stayed one night before our cruise out of the port of Dover. If you're looking for an authentic English experience in a vintage property this is for you. We had absolutely no problems with the property and the host is marvelous. He goes way out of his way to accommodate and help. He also arranged a taxi service for us and gave us information on what was nearby.Just some basic information, the hotel is not air conditioned so if you're booking a summer trip that might be a factor. There are no elevators in the property and our room was on the third floor so you must be able to use stairs. This was a former residence and so there is no lobby, sitting area, restaurant, bar etc on site. The room was quite comfortable it has a full size bed - separate bathroom and toilet. There is no fridge in the room. Its well kept but the building is hundreds of years old. The room door used a skeleton key.We were looking for an authentic vintage English experience (and that was what we got) no real complaints -but this is not a hotel, if that's what your looking for.Not a lot to see or do around the hotel except for the castle, there is a shopping center with some supermarkets.The hotel is within walking to Dover castle, but be aware it's a lot of walking and most of it is uphill and you need to be in good shape with sensible shoes. Getting to the port of Dover requires a taxi it's only about a 5 to 10 minute drive 8 pounds. FYI there is no Uber or Lyft in Dover England.

Beautiful quaint guest house, hosted by the kind and very helpful John and his lovely wife who went above and beyond. John was helpful in sharing information about local attractions as well as nice places to eat. Really enjoyed a quiet weekend away at the coast. Must stay if you’re in Dover.

John is the perfect host, and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay

We stayed in two rooms here for a night before joining our cruise and enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. It is close to the white cliffs of Dover and Dover castle and only a mile from the port. St Martins is very well located. John, the concierge was amazing and always wanted to please. As other reviews noted, he is very knowledgeable of the area. The rooms were very clean. As others have stated St. Martins is a guest house. Rooms are small and basic and there isn't any air conditioning. If those things are important to you you are better off booking a large hotel. We felt the positives of this charming place far outweighed any of that other stuff and inexpensive at about 100 pounds a night.

Charming Guest House

The guest house was as we expected it. Nice and clean, whoever painted it over the last couple of years did a really nice job. Well positioned the everything. The pub around the corner was good to visit for a drink. We were met by John when we arrived and found him delightful to talk to. Happy to provide advice about where to go and what to see, and just generally interested in us. For our travels we caught the #15 bus to Canterbury which was nice to visit, the cathedral was undergoing renovation work so after paying our entry fee we got our money back. Did the zodiac boat ride to view the white cliffs, simply wonderful. Visited the castle which was great. Thanks John for your advice to see the Bronze Age boat- they showed a video of how it was found and retrieved, we were very impressed. I’d recommend St Martins guest house!

St. Martins Guest House was conveniently  located within town and perfect for our stay in Dover. John the concierge was kind, helpful and shared his wealth of knowledge about the area and the local history. Our cruise ship was delayed for multiple days and John was able to accommodate us and saved us from having to find another place to stay in an already very full town. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for all of your help!!

Enjoyed our stay at this lovely home within walking distance of the town center. John was so helpful and knowledgeable about Dover He helped us pin down taxi service as soon as he heard we were going on a cruise the next day. Without him, we would have had to wait until the taxi’s were free from taking passengers getting off the cruise. I definitely want to explore Dover in the future and would stay here again.

If you want a modern fully equipped hotel with breakfast, a bar, and such, the Travelodge is just down the way, but I find these smaller hotels charming and much more pleasant. We stayed in two different rooms, one with a single bed, the other with two twins. Both were modest and small, but charming and comfortable. I love this part of Dover, below the castle, a short walk to the waterfront, the White Horse Inn, and Blake's of Dover. Your host and concierge is delightful and unfailingly helpful. In short, I unreservedly recommend St Martin's if you are looking for one night or several in a boutique hotel in Dover.

Our stay at this quaint guest house was complimented by our host, John who politely & cheerfully greeted us upon arrival & several times as we returned from our day- always immaculate in his jacket & tie, always helpful.  Our room was comfortable & pleasant.  Highly recommend St.Martins Guest House, centrally located.

Great stay!

Great location situated close to restaurants and Dover Castle.  The rooms we had were quaint and clean.  It feels much more like a bedroom than a hotel room.  The best part of the stay was the caretaker.  He had an excellent knowledge of the local area and history and made sure we had everything we needed.  He was above and beyond!
