The White Cliffs of Dover form part of the English coastline facing the Strait of Dover and France. The cliff face, which reaches a height of 350 feet (110 m), owes its striking appearance to its composition of chalk accented by streaks of black flint.

He was friendly and welcoming. The room was at the back of the property so very little noise was heard from the main road. It was a perfect location for our plans that weekend, close to all our destinations, some lovely pubs nearby within walking distance. Lovely cooked breakfast at the time we requested. ##### Jill Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Michael Aug 7, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities Very friendly and helpful.

Shower poor. But the main complaint was after a short dog walk the male owner told us we hadn’t paid for dogs. We told him we thought we had - he then said it was £40 extra! Asked for cash- machine wasn’t charged for card/ he could barely talk as so drunk! Had to wait about 20 mins in reception for card reader. After 6 hour journey just wanted bed! Supposed to be smoke free hotel but he was smoking and drinking at reception which stunk of smoke- I’m asthmatic! Went on about Expedia charging a fortune and them getting nothing. We read after paying that it was meant to be £5 a dog! Said they could do us a take away omelette for breakfast at 8 ( we needed to leave before this so had nothing! Wish we’d booked the Travelodge! ##### Carmel Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron Aug 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely little place to stay, good value for money too!

It is more akin to a guest house, which you need to bear in mind if you are likely to be late (as I did). I guess it was once a pub but now just caters for guests - mostly walkers when I was there. Breakfast (cooked to order) was around a table with the other guests which proved to the most enjoyable breakfast I've experienced in any hotel. It's a place for people who value a friendly good value experience and don't mind that it isn't the Hilton. Its next to a road, but the area area Chilham and Godmersham is beautiful and historic. ##### Martin Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Robin Sep 7, 2025 The hotel was closed with nobody there. The owners were missing and the hotel was locked up. We had to phone the manager but he would not be there until 8pm. The building was derillict and up for sale. We had to find another hotel. I would like my money refunded. ##### Robin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Paul Jun 1, 2025 Hands down the worst hotel I’ve stayed in since ages. Totally run down, poor hospitality is an understatement. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in May 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Johanna Aug 11, 2025 Note, The Old Alma does not use Hotelsdotcom -platform. I made a reservation and it was not found (and the hotel was fully booked). Nice owners were sorry and explained that this hotel is not available via Hotelsdotcom at all. ##### Johanna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Josh Jul 25, 2025 Disliked: Staff & service Hotel showed it had a room available. I booked it and paid, and then received a message saying they had no room for us. No refund!!! ##### Josh Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 6/10 Okay #### Michelle May 15, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant stay at the Old Alma Had a very pleasant stay, staff very friendly. Room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. A delicious full breakfast was served. Need to ring the bell to gain entry upon arrival as there is no reception desk. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in May 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALBERTO Jun 30, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay and they do make you feel at home. Excellent and we would go back if we plan to go around Kent. ##### ALBERTO Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller Aug 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disappointing stay There was no hot water in the room. We could use the shower in another room, but could not move to this room. They say there is free parking available, but we were charged an amazing GBP20,- per night for parking our trailer tent. The inn is for sale. While the rooms look reasonable, the general impression is that the inn is in need of renovation, with non-working locks and poorly screened-off storage areas. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Oct 9, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient for Canterbury. Good value. No frills. Shower, bed and breakfast all very good. Real family atmosphere. Ideal for walking, visiting Chilham village and train to Canterbury. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2018 ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicholas Aug 22, 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Really weird. ##### Nicholas Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorna Jul 2, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Check in We arrived approx 4.30pm to be told our booking had been cancelled. We never received any notification from hotels.com even though Sarah from the old alma had told them the day before. Apart from that Sarah went above and beyond to accommodate ush. She actually gave up her own bedroom for us. I would recommend this hotel but just make sure you arej informed of any changes before you leave homej. ##### Lorna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret Jul 31, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The host and hostess were very charming and welcoming. Only dislike which is no fault of the proprietor is the speeding cars. There should be a speed bump or with restrictions on the left hand side of the road as you face the building and the white pillar should have a reflector to help cars approaching to slow down. Difficulty in driving out of the car park because the road curves, fast cars approaching from the right and the white pillar partially obstruct your view. ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kim Oct 28, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service On arrival I was greeted by a man in old tracksuit pants, t-shirt, and tracksuit jacket, and he was clearly intoxicated. As a single female checking in this made me feel very uncomfortable and when I hinted at cancelling the man advised me that I was past the cancellation time so would pay whether I stayed or not. There were power cuts to the area that evening and they tripped the electrics. The first time this happened the man who checked me in reset the electrics but the second time I believe he had fallen asleep. I sat in the dark for a bit, then I rang the reception bell several times, eventually I went back to my room and called the hotel phone number, which he finally answered and said he would fix the electrics. I went to reception and explained that it was a very uncomfortable situation for a single woman to be checked into a very quiet hotel by an intoxicated man. He told me I could stay or go he didn't care but I was not getting a refund. ##### Kim Stayed 1 night in Oct 2023
