Clean room, great staff
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.

A great place to stop and very clean and tidy
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%

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.
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.)

2 nights at The Royal Oak
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.
