Good location
The location is the Hotel's biggest selling point as it is so close to the Dover Castle and the White Cliffs. The room was ok for a "base" but would not recommend it for a long stay. The food served was excellent.

We chose to stay at the Royal Oak prior to our cruise. The hotel is situated away from the city centre in a quiet residential area steeped in history a short cab ride or 40 min walk to town. The staff exceeded our expectations with their kindness and hospitality. The pub downstairs frequented by locals and travellers was a lot of fun to have a pint, meal and watch a football match. The room met our requirements only the unseasonably warm weather made it more challenging, thankfully a fan was provided in the room. Complimentary breakfast was the perfect way to start the day.

Arrived on a Tuesday to find the kitchen was closed but thankfully you could do me a Pizza. My room was lovely but would benefit from a new mattresses and a tv would be a welcome addition. None of the above detracts from it being a lively cosy little pub and i would happily stay again.

Lovely location and staff. Lacking a TV in the room and mattresses could do with replacing. Food average too. Even so would stay again .
