Overnight stay in Dover

Hi friends

I wonder if anyone could recommend a good place to stay in Dover for an overnight before and after ferry crossings. Need somewhere that takes 2 adults and 2 children in one room.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Thanks

Lorna

    We stayed here http://www.premiertravelinn.com/pti/hotelInformation.do?hotelId=24191 a few years ago. They have family rooms and it is close to the ferry terminal. Nothing to write home about but does the job well enough.
  • Have you considered staying outside of Dover taking advantage of Travel Lodge offers £26 per room for the night. Also if you haven't booked your ferries why not stay in France and get the first ferry out the next day - we are doing this in May and staying in Boulogne for the night - nicer than Dover.

    The Travel Lodge in Ashford is adequate and only about half an hours drive to Dover. See if u can get one of the saver rooms?

    Join the YHA, but not before casting off any old notions you may have of them. Three good reasons:
    1.They have family rooms.
    2.There's one in Dover.
    3.Tesco Clubcard Deals have just started including YHA and SYHA, so you can stay for only 25% of their listed tariffs.
    Website: yha.org.uk and the world is your(very much more affordable)oyster.
    Then you find there's one in Boulogne, too - FUAJ is the Federation Unie des Auberges de Jeunesse(sorry, accents not reinstalled yet)
