Overall Ratings & Reviews Royal Oak

Friendly, helpful, competent staff

really friendly local pub with rooms, food is very good and very reasonably priced, staff are all helpful and pleased to see you

Clean room and bathroom. Bed uncomfortable. Food nice and service really good throughout. Poor nights sleep though as party on til 12.30 am and we would have probably chosen another place to stay if we knew that a function was being held so late.

A good place to stay when visiting Dover. Lots of people use it for the port. We used it to visit the castle and Battke of Britain memorial. Parking is a bit tight in the car park so we used the road. Breakfast is good and food options in the evening also good. Room has everything you need and is cosy.

Room was clean and tidy and looked to have been recently renovated to a good standard. Nice big shower and lots of hot water, always the sign of a good hotel room. Plenty of nice fluffy towels, but lacking a towel rail next to the hand basin (a cheap and quick fix there). Bed was comfortable, however a nice bed topper would be a lovely touch. Room was missing a small waste bin, a couple of coat hooks on the hanging rail would be especially useful. (again a cheap and quick fix). Having twin USB points on both sides of the bed with twin 13amp sockets and good free Wfi was a nice touch. We had room 5 and from the little we saw of other rooms, I think it was the best one. As mentioned, we could not fault the cleanliness of the bedroom or the bathroom and towels and bedlinen perfect (well done there). one small niggle, the kettle and coffee maker were on one of the bedside tables and took up most of the table top. A small console table, like the one in the hallway with the visitors comments book on it, would have been great placed under the TV and the kettle etc could have been placed on there and a socket could have been taken from the TV supply socket above. Again a fairly small outlay for a big gain in the room. All the staff we met, were very friendly and always willing to do what they good to help, another reason our stay was so pleasant. The restaurant severed good pub food and good sized portions. There is also 2 EV charging points on site. Would I recommend, yes 100%

Staff were amazing. Very friendly. We would definitely stay again if we come back to the area.

Quaint place with pub on ground floor. Would not advise for people with walking issues as the stairs are very steep and steps narrow and uneven.

Really helpful and friendly staff. Prepared me a grab bag for breakfast as had to leave earlier than breakfast was served. My room was a little on the small side but was very beautifully presented. (And would be fine for any one of average hight and build. As I am over 6’5 and of large build.)

Helpful staff. Very convey for ferries

Lovely small friendly hotel. Nice bar area. Rooms are compact, but absolutely pristine everything you need for a comfortable stay. Staff are friendly. Lovely choice of breakfast. Definitely stay again

This is a quaint place. The stairs are a little tricky with luggage but the room was delightful. The staff was friendly and helpful. It was a great stay and we would definitely come back.

Great spot for overnight stay for work would recormend

No parking available on day 1. I was told an email would be sent on the day of our arrival to give us instructions for accessing the room but never received it. Had to wait for someone to take us to the room and give me the passkey. Pub was very busy and noisy on our first night which kept us awake. Second night we didn’t hear anything in the pub. Breakfast was really good and the cooks were excellent at catering for my dairy and egg allergies. Bed mattress was not good.

Staff and service was excellent. Access to room not suitable for aged and infirm.

What a cozy, unique, and magical place it is. Clean, comfortable, quiet, and easy to find. The staff is super friendly. We absolutely loved it and can’t wait to go back!

Lovely small pub/inn. Check in/out was effortless with electronic access. Ideal for us with a couple of small dogs. Wonderful cooked breakfast. Definitely recommend

The Royal Oak was a really good 1 night stay. Good value & good breakfast. Would return.

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.

Lumpy mattress,no hot food Mon-Tuesdays, no TV in the room, no desk in the room to work at, breakfast served at 8-9, not good if you’re working.

Staff were amazing and welcoming, food was divine, room was brilliant
