Basic hotel, but perfectly adequate and convenient for one night before catching an early ferry to France the next morning. The Bella Italia restaurant on site was rather nicer than expected.
Overall, pretty good value for money.

Megan at the front desk deserves recognition! She was so pleasant, helpful & professional & went out of her way to make me feel welcome & give me information about the area. I had a pet seagull (Gulliver) who visited my window each evening & listened to all my ramblings, he was lovely. The bar staff werev also amazing. The area was quiet with a great view and a short walk to busses, restaurants and the ferry. Extended my stay 3 times.

Very comfortable room, extremely clean. Good location.
Dover is famous for the white cliffs which would have been a striking sight to the Romans as they advanced on England. They decided to construct a port at this strategic spot and it has held an important role ever since. Ferries to Calais and Dunkirk cross the English Channel several times daily and some brave souls even manage to swim across.
A Roman lighthouse still stands atop a hill overlooking the port, but is easily missed as it was incorporated into Saxon St Mary de Castro Church as the bellower. It is found within the grounds of 13th-century Dover Castle, one of England’s largest castles, whose multi-level ramparts sit above tunnels where the World War II Dunkirk evacuation was planned.
Another Roman monument is the Painted House whose remains include some of the best-preserved Roman murals north of Italy. Even older is the Bronze Age boat displayed in Dover Museum.
The Dover Transport Museum showcases vintage vehicles, and the Blériot Memorial marks the spot where the first airplane to fly across the Channel first touched English soil. A path runs along the top of the nearby cliffs, while at their feet is a shingle beach.
The Dover accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with pools, cheap inns and B&Bs near the train station.

Dover is a must see and can be placed on your bucket list. The walk along the cliffs is great and the Dover castle is well maintained and very interesting. Parking in Dover is as per all UK towns a problem and you need to plan accordingly or you can use the local bus services.

We spent a day and a half in Dover and came specifically to see the historical Fan Bay Shafts (National Trust) and Dover Castle (English Heritage).
We found Fan Bay Shafts interesting and very 'genuine' history. Note that it is 45 minutes underground in damp, but not cold, tunnels, wearing a hard hat and head torch.
Dover Castle warrants a whole day or more! Lots to see.
We had time to see Deal Castle too. Good as a contrast, as it is a Tudor fortification. They have tried hard with their pretty good first floor exhibition, but the basement is an underused and under-explained resource which could be much more imaginatively tackled.

Dover needs significant regeneration: the town is tired and not appealing. I have known Dover since 1965 and to be honest it is probably now at its worst, but I can see some small signs of improvement: however everything being demolished is becoming a car park!! Dover needs to look like Folkestone or Deal: more independent and unique shops to attract people. Not the standard chains stores and "cheap shops", which of course have their place but different shops attract curiosity.
The castle remains the main attraction, as does western heights and Dover Patrol memorial. Kirsney Abbey and Russell Gardens provide a tranquil side. the ride through Alkham Valley, always puts a smile on my face.

Dover is a very busy port town but also a town full of interesting history. We loved walking out along the pier, watching the ferries come in & go out, we enjoyed visiting Dover Castle very much, it is well worth putting a day aside to visit the castle and we found the town centre to contain everything we needed for our visit; minimart, chemist, shoe shop, pubs, restaurants & coffee shops. It’s small enough to walk everywhere & plenty to do. There’s a great walk along the famous white cliffs which we ran out of time to do but we’d like to come back one day & see more of this great town.
In all, Dover is a bit rough around the edges but a very interesting town to visit, especially if you like boats, the seaside & history.

Plenty to do in Dover and with travel issues (traffic and train strikes) well worth reducing the stress and planning a day in Dover. Premier Inn offered (online reservation) for Bag stashers. Local museum has amazing Bronze age boat! Dover castle has so many different historic periods covered - Roman lighthouse, Plantagenet castle and World war II hospital / headquarters - allow plenty of time.

Dover is really undergoing a regeneration process, the beach are is very popular and the marina is just lovely. The town itself is very run down indeed and we avoided it this time. We did spend a lot of time walking on the beach and enjoying the lovely atmosphere.
Came for a getaway with my family. We had an amazing time here! We had the room and were lucky to have beautiful weather which allowed us to enjoy the view. The staff were friendly and catered all of our requests.
Night Manager Mayur was such a brilliant man at receptions All in one man, he made our stay more valuable. It's great that the hotel has nice location and ways of parking system on permit was clearly marked. I would highly recommend Best Western Dover Marina.
Very nice place with a great view over Dover. Very quiet thanks to its situation far from the centre and the main road. Very nice welcoming by Margaret and her husband who kindly proposed me to carry my suitcase into my room as there are steep stairs to get there. Lovely breakfast. Very cosy, clean and quiet room and entrance locked with security code. Nice little private car park below the hotel.
John the concierge was great. He made sure our stay was comfortable and gave us lots of tips and stories to help us explore Dover and its surrounding areas. The room was clean, quiet, spacious, and had all the amenities one would need. The Guest house is situated in a central location which makes it easy to visit the beach, the museums, town centre, and train station to explore nearby locations.
Perfect location, quiet and clean hotel. Easy to park.
John, the Concierge, is who really makes the difference among other hotels. He was so helpful and gave us the best advices to visit Dover.
There were many places to visit, some of them we missed because we were just one day in Dover, so we'll come back at some point and for sure we'll choose again St Martins Guest House.
Great location (just across from Dover Priory) and walking distance to the cruise port and various food places. Comfy and beautifully decorated. No AC but fans were provided. USB charging in outlets. Nice en suite bathroom and shower. Very clean. Staff was extremely helpful and nice. Not a bargain but good quality for price. WiFi was available and reliable.
The generous hospitality of Michael and Andrullia was the highlight of our stay.
Get Michael to bring out his guitar and regale you with his talent. We were impressed.
The delicious breakfast dished out kept us going through the climb to the 'White cliffs' and onward to the Dover castle.Truly amazing!
Overall a '10'.Nothing less.
A nice basic hotel just outside Dover, it is a perfect stop over when getting an early ferry.
The staff were a bit thin on the ground so some waiting occurred but they were friendly and happy to help.
The food on offer at the Bella Italia restaurant is delicious and this is based inside the resturant itself.
The hosts Margaret and Phillip were very welcoming. Their lovely B & B was conveniently located walking distance to the train station and town. They were very helpful suggesting ways to see the most in and around Dover. I was very grateful for their help and hospitality.
Our overall experience of Dover was itself brilliant. Full of history, with a lovely sea front, nice bars pubs, and decent, friendly people. I should like to come back one day, though if I do I will obviously be steering well clear of Dover Town Rooms!
Breakfast was lovely , plenty of choice and nice quality , we also had dinner the night before and again great choice and delicious ... The handcut chips are the best .The room was in a small.village but only a 10 minute drive from Dover .
Room/whole place was really clean, staff were very friendly and helpful.. lovely people. I felt very safe and welcome. 7 min walk from Dover Priory Station, 20 walk to the beach, 30 min walk to Dover Castle.. very convenient spot.
My room was clean and had great views of Dover Castle. The accommodation is convenient placed in walking distance to the Dover Castle, town centre, bus hub, sea front and much more. I stayed there for 14 days and could relax.
Very nice hosts. Checkin really easy. They offered to park and lock our bikes in their shed next to hotel. Expect no luxury. Small room, but good price and next tot train station in Dover.
The room was wonderfully decorated. Was just like being in a home rather that a hotel. Breakfast was great and cooked to order! The overall feeling was relaxed and welcoming.
Wonderful proprieter.
Room clean and beautifully decorated to Georgian architecture.
Centrally located. Short (but steep) climb to Dover Castle, quick walks to food and shops.
