Great location, close to everything. They have no parking, you have to figure it out yourself. Free and convenient overnight parking is available a stone's throw away. Building and room were a bit musty. Quite overpriced in my view for the amenities on offer; that was likely because it was a last-minute booking.
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.
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.
Close to the Castle. Free on street parking opposite the guest house. Large bedroom with a sitting area. It is dated, but clean and does the job. Convenient to walk into town. 5 stars for John who works there. Such a lovely, friendly guy.

The best thing about this property is its location. Its website lists it as a B and B, but there was no breakfast. The owner is not at all amenable yo early check-in or late check out, necessitating for us a 2 1/2 hour wait with no services at a cruise terminal.
Additionally, neither Kleenex nor shampoo was provided. Amenities were basic.
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.
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!!
The best part about our stay was our host, John! He told us about the history of the area and recommended restaurants and a side trip to Canterbury which we didn’t have on our itinerary and was so glad we did! Thanks again John!!
