Just 100 metres from Dover Priory Railway Station, Hostel Alma is a mile from Dover Ferry Port. The hostel offers free Wi-Fi and a guest kitchen.

The colourful rooms at Hostel Alma feature beds with fresh linens and Orthopaedic mattresses. All rooms have a private bathroom, a large flat-screen TV and a folding work desk.

The little room off the kitchen is really nice. Their patience with us was great. We came on the ferry from Calais that was late getting into Dover and the hostel’s door takes a code they give you as well as a coded door receptacle to get in your room. With these codes you don’t need to see the staff, if you come after hours.

Situated in Kent, less than 1 km from Dover Beach, 116 Maison Dieu Road Room D in Dover features accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a shared lounge. The property is set less than 1 km from Dover Priory Station, 6.4 km from White Cliffs of Dover and 13 km from Deal Castle. Guests can enjoy garden views.

At the hostel, the rooms have a desk, a flat-screen TV, a shared bathroom, bed linen and towels. All rooms will provide guests with a fridge.

The room is charming. The beds were very comfortable with lots of pillows. There is a sink and television in the rooms. There are two bathrooms for the five rooms. One is a full bathroom with a shower and a sink. The other bathroom just has a commode. All five rooms were rented while there and there was no problems. There is a kitchen that is stocked with everything you need to cook. There's a lovely courtyard in the back to sit in. They also have a sitting area before the kitchen. What works out great is if you drive or take the training early, she allows you to pay 10 lb to do an early check-in which worked out great for us because we're able to drop all our bags and go out and explore. I would definitely recommend this place to any of my friends or my clients that are coming here to get on a cruise. The terminal is a 5 minute taxi or a 15 to 20 minute walk depending on how you walk to the terminal.

Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Great location. Not far from station. If you are a runner and enjoy Parkrun events then it's pretty much outside. Not far from the castle also. Bathroom very nice with great shower. Friend was pleased with the tea facility department lol

    Clean and quiet. Great breakfast and a friendly service. For visiting Dover, the guest houses is perfectly located, close to the Dover Castle and the White Cliffs walks and also close to shops and good pubs and restaurants. Thumbs up also for storing safely our push bikes overnight. Thank you!

    Staying at Les Fleurs was a pleasant experience. The host provided towels, linens, ect, and the location is extremely accessible to the town centre, the castle, shops, the cliffs and the beach. It's not a 5 star hotel with all the bells and whistles, but for a short, cheap stay, it is adequate and the bathroom/dorms do the job!

    I liked the pictures of the place on the Booking.com website, which shows a no thrills hostel conforming to basic hygiene and cleanliness requirements. Sadly, the reality of Dover Adventure Backpackers is something else entirely.
