We've stayed in the Grand Burstin Hotel in Folkestone ... don't stay there!

Here's a blog post we wrote at the time: http://berylthebus.wordpress.com/2010/07/31/day-1/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Myself and a few friends are heading off to Belgium later on this year and are staying over at the

Premier Inn @ Folkestone (Channel Tunnel)
Cherry Garden Lane
Folkestone
Kent
England
CT19 4AP

Right next door to the tunnel.
Supposed to be very nice and quite inexpensive

Last summer I just slept in the car. Was booked on the first ferry of the day and arrived around 11pm (bad time planning, eh!).

Didn't think it was worth paying for a room for half a dozen hours or so, so that was that!

Try the Premier Inn at Ashford North. Used it a few times and always got it for £35 by booking well in advance. All up to the usual standard and nice to have a shower in the morning before setting off
There are a few near by, Ashford North is the cheapest, probably due to being a few minutes drive from the motorway.
Still only a 15 minute drive to the Chunnel.
