We needed a place to stay due to attending a Sunday night gig near to Folkestone Harbour. Quite a choice of places to stay all over the Folkestone area but this caught my eye as it was very close to the venue and was reasonably priced with breakfast included. Once booked, we did treat ourselves to a Sunday lunch at the Rocksalt restaurant, itself but there are plenty of alternative good eateries if you are staying here. The rooms are above a shop so some stairs to climb (no elevator). The room standard is very good with classic furniture and fittings well restored. Good size shower room. Bed although an classic style had a super comfy mattress and pillows, I had a great nights sleep. Flat panel TV, proper kettle and pod coffee machine with plenty of good quality supplies for a nights stay.  Great view across the harbour from the big window. I will defiantly stay here again.

Excellent Boutique Rooms

Beautiful room very close to the Rocksalt restaurant. The view of the harbour was fantastic. Room had everything you would need for a night’s stay and was very comfortable. Shower was lukewarm but not a major issue. Hope to return soon.

Lovely room with a stunning view

Smart conversion of an old seaside commercial property into bedrooms for the Rocksalt restaurant guests.  
Lovely views of the harbour from our big window - not all rooms have such a good view, ours was top floor front. 
Lovely big comfy bed, and we loved the DIY Bloody Mary kits, what a nice touch. 
Shower not great design, couldn't be used without getting most of the shower room floor wet.

Quirky comfy rooms with harbour view

Rosksalt restaurant with its perfect location overlooking Folkestone harbour, offers a few rooms of accommodation located a couple of doors down from the modern restaurant.  The accommodation is housed in a recently renovated old building, unlike the modern architecturally designed restaurant.   We spent the weekend shortly after the lifting of the full COVID lockdown in July and enjoyed a couple of restful nights in the thoroughly agreeable seaside town of Folkestone with its artsy old high-street and the fantastic restoration of the old Harbour Arm with its vibrant outdoor food / drinks offerings.  Everything about the stay was made very easy from parking in the nearby Tram Road carpark (note this is pay-and-display between hours of 8am to 6pm), to a friendly check-in process at the restaurant, to being walked across to the accommodation.  We liked the quality cooked breakfasts, which were enjoyed in the sunshine on the restaurant terrace with scenic views across the harbour and with water quietly lapping on the shingle below.  We also enjoyed a couple of evening meals at the restaurant, which on recent re-opening had introduced social distancing with a reduced number of covers and smaller menu with the added pleasure (and safety) of the outdoor eating.  Staff were friendly and except for a minor misunderstanding about the implications of the newly reduced VAT rates on hotel pricing (which was quickly resolved), service was professional.

Some summary points of our stay of note:

-	Cosy industrial chic first floor room with very comfy bed, nicely ventilated with opened windows (felt safe with secure window locks), capsule coffee machine, radio, TV etc.
-	Our room (“Lala”) was at the rear of the building and had no view of the sea.  The room itself was small, but nevertheless we were entirely comfortable and happy.  Although no vista there was no mistaking our seaside location with the cries of the swooping seagulls.
-	We would probably opt for a front-facing room next time, just for the benefit of the sea / harbour view.
-	Our room was well stocked with bottled mineral water, plenty of coffee capsules, teas, etc.
-	Small but functional bathroom with walk-in shower
-	COVID safe processes had been implemented with supply of fresh towels, water, coffee / tea etc via basket on day 2 of the stay.

Would recommend Rocksalt Rooms for a short stay in Folkstone.

Rocksalt rooms - great seaside weekender

We  have eaten in the rocksalt many times and love the food and atmosphere,  so we decided  wed like to spend our honeymoon  night there a week after our wedding,  we booked the room amazing  came down on the friday checked in great room lovely , but at this time was the start of shut downs on the covid 19 , at around 5.30pm bars and restaurants  were told to shut from immediate  effect,  the staff were lovely they said we could order off of the limited  take way menu,  which was such a disappointment,  not what we would have ordered had we ate in the restaurant  , we took this to our room with plates and cutlery,  but our room had no table so had to try and eat sitting on the bed , this in no means was the rocksalt fault , we had a cooked breakfast  booked for the morning  but obviously  couldnt have had that but they did leave us a lovely breakfast  hamper  at our door,  this was such a disappointment  to us but tottaly  out of the rocksalt hands , and hopefully  as soon as we are allowed to return  to normal live will will come down again and have our so looked forward  to meal

Honey moon night

We took up three rooms on a Saturday evening as we were a party of six, lovely rooms, very clean, very close to the Rocksalt restaurant which was also excellent, we had a very warm welcome and the breakfast was amazing 

Weekend with friends 

The building is behind the restaurant above a shop. The views across the Harbour are lovely. The room was fairly small but comfortable. There was noise during the dawn time of bins being emptied etc so wasn't a great nights sleep. There is tea & coffee making facilities but no milk jiggers, fresh milk is given from the restaurant but no fridge to put it in. Need to do the jiggers, there are a few decent brands around these days. Breakfast was not till 9.30am which is too late, should at least be 9am. Breakfast also was a bit of a dissapointment, ordered the full english but they had run out of tomatoes and mushrooms. Luckily we weren't vegetarians. We had dinner in the restaurant the night before which was very good. Our only gripe was the bread was so hard, it was all crust & very little actual bread. Almost inedible. 

Quirky

We stayed for 1 night whilst celebrating a special birthday dining at Rocksalt Restaurant.  It was a lovely addition to the restaurant and perfect for what we needed, the room was small (as expected) but clean, nicely decorated and stocked with all that you needed for the night.  Jess checked us in and was extremely friendly, we had fresh milk delivered to the room along with still/sparking water.  We were left a lovely little gift of a Bloody Mary and the most divine homemade fudge.  The shower room was more of a wet room however that did not bother us.  Perfect for a one night stay to enhance the experience of the restaurant.  

Lovely Addition.... 

I was celebrating a milestone birthday with family and occupied all four rooms. I was in Valentine and it met the requirements of a room to sleep and change in while enjoying great food in the Rocksalt restaurant and Mark Sargents new Brasserie. 
The bed was comfortable and the room and shower room was adequate for a couple of nights stopover.
As mentioned in a number of other reviews the level of the shelf over the wash basin was TOO low.
Overall the accommodation was good and the restaurant (Rocksalt) was exceptional.

Decent accommodation for experiencing Rocksalt restaurant and the Folkestone are.

We stayed overnight for our anniversary meal in Rocksalt. The room on the top floor was very comfortable with excellent view of harbour. The only criticism was the bathroom floor needs some urgent attention as the floor if cracked around the toilet and was awkward to walk on.
