Lovely property right on the front at Margate. Beautifully designed and maintained room. I really enjoyed the breakfast, and the staff couldn’t have been friendlier or more helpful. My own fault for not checking but can’t rate the dinner as the restaurant was closed on Tuesday night.

The room was so beautiful, the design and interior was well thought and intentional. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed at. My girlfriend and I loved it so much! It was very clean, staff were very helpful and pleasant. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone going to Margate. The location was perfect as well. Such a lovely place, I didn’t want to leave. The pantry with different snacks was such a cute touch!

A wonderful place to stay in the centre of Margate overlooking the town beach. Sound proof rooms so you can have a great nights sleep in your super comfy bed. The rooms have a record deck with a small selection of vinyl for you to play which was a quirky addition to the normal hotel room. Friendly staff and a beautiful restaurant which is also the breakdast room. Breakfast was cooked to your individual order with high quality products from a good selection. I hope to return soon for another relaxing stay.
