Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel was in a great location, staff were very friendly and helpful. Our room was small but it had a fantastic sea view and it was well thought out so you had everything for a short stay. The shower was fantastic and the water hot. Our room was serviced every day. Breakfast was plentiful and well cooked. We really couldn’t fault the hotel and would definitely stay there again.

Great location right on the seafront. Really good breakfast. Bar and restaurant with sea views and well priced food and drinks. Parking around the back. Easy to walk to Whitstable harbour and high street. Seems to employ lots of staff who enjoy their job.

Lovely seaside hotel with friendly staff and super breakfast. Room was very small…. Never stayed in such a small room. Paid for a double but it was a single at best. Bed side tables were tiny shelves. Uncomfortable as a result, It was, however, very clean.
