Dover hostels

If you’re the outdoor backpacker type, touring your way through south-east England, Dover hostels are the way to go for accommodation. A great choice is Dover Adventure Backpackers. It’s really close to some of the main tourist attractions in the city, like Dover Castle and Dover Museum, and only about 0.6 miles (1 km) from Dover Beach. There are plenty of on-site water sport facilities like snorkelling, diving and canoeing, or hire a bicycle from the hostel and see the sights that way. You’ll have the use of a very well-equipped kitchen, and there is also an outside BBQ and patio area. Indoors, you’ll find a communal lounge, a games room and a library.

To be close to public transport, so you can get around the city and perhaps take a trip across the Channel for a day, you’ll easily find Dover hostels to accommodate your needs. Dover’s Restover Bed & Breakfast is just the ticket for this. It’s directly opposite Dover Priory Railway Station, and a drive of about 5min will get you to Ferry Port and Cruise Terminals. The Channel Tunnel entrance is also close by, and you can walk to the centre of town from here, too. You have a very good choice of complimentary breakfasts, from a full English or Continental to gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan. The rooms have a garden view and, interconnected ones are available for families or groups of friends.

For a touch of olde worlde elegance in one of the most family-friendly Dover hostels you‘ll find, book through KAYAK at Norman Guest House. This is a very well-appointed and comfortable establishment in a Victorian building. It’s only a short walk from the centre of town, where you’ll find tourist attractions like Dover Castle and Roman Painted House. Family-sized rooms are provided, with free on-site parking, and you can enjoy a full English breakfast every day included in the price.
