Stayed a couple of nights at this hotel as a base to tour the Kent coast. The hotel is about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the town which is no problem if the weather is okay. We had a family room on the first floor with a sea view and balcony. The room was fairly small with mismatched... More

Rooms are clean and spacious, breakfast is lovely and owner/staff friendly. Toilets/showers are minute, far far too small really. Beds are comfortable and its facing the sea. Parking is plentiful in the streets around though the area is a little run down. Overall its fine for a couple of nights or longer if touring the area and need a base.

On arrival was greeted, shown our room all good so far, room was a bit dated but looked clean, went to move single bed and found dirty boxer shorts, looked by wardrobe and found a dirty top. Shower facility's dated but clean, if these few problems are rectified I would stay again, nice people, nice breakfast.

We have had to stay here twice now as other hotels have been fully booked, both times we had the same room, the 1st time we were there, we noticed the family room wasn't family orientated! The mirror wasn't fixed to the wall, so we had to lay it on top of the wardrobe in case it fell on one... More

Thank you for your review and its very unfortunate that you have experienced such service and to let you know that we have taken actions needed. We were sorry for the inconvenience. Margate is currently regenerating and hopefully it would be a better place , however, you can still enjoy the Margate & Palm bay seafront, The Turner Centre and... More

The location of the hotel was quite run down and noisy at night time. However the hotel was clean and attractive on the inside, and the manager, Roger was almost overly friendly. The rooms were clean and functional, and there was a front lounge/reception area with a pool table. The breakfast was good though not the best I have had.... More

Where to start!! "Your room key/lock doesn't work very well, you have to wiggle it about a bit". It took us 3 minutes to get into our room one night. "You'll have to run the water for a little while so the hot water gets up to the 3rd floor". Is waiting 8 minutes long enough for hot water to... More

This is a great hidden gem of a hotel. The staff are very helpful and so friendly. The morning breakfast is always cooked fresh by the marvellous hostess. The family friendly atmosphere gives a nice edge to the hotel. You feel welcome as a 'visitor' more than a 'customer' and you receive a room key and a front door key... More
