Great location, friendly staff and lovely breakfast included in our stay. It was very hot when we stayed and the rooms didn’t have any form of fan or air con so it got very stuffy in the night. Other than that, it was the perfect stay.

Unfortunately the chief was missing for 2 nights. Also they had not made any plans for my being lactose intolerant. We had a lovely view from our room. Breakfast was good but no alternative for butter. Evening meal again was not as we hoped. Staff where very very busy but did all they could

Beautiful views in a great location
Fantastic view from balcony, so very special being able to watch the sunset. The hotel gives good value for money, with breakfast included and a short walk to the harbour market. It is quite an old hotel, so you can hear people moving around all night - if a light sleeper you will likely be disturbed. Bathroom could have done with a blind as the room got light at 5am which was a shame, otherwise a comfortable room.

Amazing sea views
Nice friendly place that seems to provide a lot of local employment. Staff seemed happy and were helpful. The room and bathroom were on the smaller side, but it's an old building, not much they can do about that. Big balcony and wonderful sea view. Breakfast was good mix with cereal, fruit and hot food. They even did some veggie sausages specifically for us. The evening food seemed expensive. But there are plenty of other places to choose.

Lovely overnight stay. Room was small, but sufficient for our needs. We had booked just a standard room so knew it was not going to be large. Good quality toiletries and coffee/teas as well as chocolate biscuits provided ! Everything very clean. Bar and restaurant tastefully decorated. Breakfast - good selection and good quality. Just about all of the staff were very efficient, helpful and friendly, apart from the chap on reception at midday when we arrived, who did not appear very welcoming at all. Perhaps he was having a bad day. Would definitely stay again.

Stay was a bit disappointing
The hotel is conveniently situated for both the town and the beach. Check in was pleasant and, as we were a little early, we were able to park in the hotel car park until our room was ready. Our hotel room was very small but clean. We had difficulty opening the windows as the sash windows have to be pulled down from the top of the window. As both of us are not very tall, I had to stand on the bed or the bath to open a window – not ideal when in your mid 60’s. We discovered on our last day that the bottom sash window could be opened but it tilts inwards and takes up a lot of space making it very difficult to move around the room and also pointless as the bedroom window had wooden shutters so it would be impossible to open the window at night at the same time keeping your privacy. Breakfast was fine if you like a full English buffet but choice was very limited if you don’t. Cereals were available with toast, croissants and fresh whole fruit (no fruit salad). My wife is vegetarian and the choice of breakfast for her was very limited. Our bed was extremely hard and uncomfortable so we did not sleep very well. Our room and presumably all others did not have carpets or rugs, just a solid floor, we could hear toilets flushing etc in other rooms. On our last morning, we were woken a little before 06:00 by heavy footsteps, drawers opening and closing and other noises from the room above.

Hotel right on the beach slightly out of Whitstable main town. Nice bar and restaurant. Breakfast was nice, although lacked variety. Bedrooms are TINY. Literally too small for two people to stand in some cases. Most rooms are accessed by a very steep very narrow staircase which I struggle to carry my case up. We booked many months in advance for a weekday wedding in May and were given the rooms furthest from reception on the highest floor. Square footage-wise, not good value for money. It was however clean and public areas were nice. Staff were pleasant.
