This was our first visit to Margate and our first stay at No. 42 Guest House, and both exceeded our expectations. No. 42 is truly a fabulous place to stay, with its unique charm, beautiful décor and welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we arrived, the staff were incredibly friendly and made us feel genuinely welcome. The customer service was outstanding – a well-deserved 10/10.

Our room was beautifully decorated. We booked a sea-view room with a balcony, and it had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. We especially loved the pantry, which was perfect for grabbing a late-night snack. The sea view was exceptional, particularly at sunset and in the mornings while enjoying a cup of tea or coffee.

We also booked breakfast, and the food at Pearly Cow was delicious. The staff and chefs were all so warm, friendly and welcoming, making each morning a pleasure.

We had a wonderful two-night stay in Margate at No. 42 Guest House and thoroughly enjoyed every moment. We'll definitely be looking at staying in more Guest House hotels around the UK - in the future.

Thank you to everyone at No. 42 for making us feel so welcome. Your kindness and hospitality made our stay truly memorable.

I would highly recommend No. 42 Guest House to anyone looking for a relaxing seaside break in Margate.

Absolutely loved this hotel and wish we could have stayed more than 1 night! Very clean and stylish throughout with lovely little extras like a record player in the room plus a pantry where you could help yourself to pick n mix and other snacks. Also an amazing roof bar with a beautiful sea view. Plenty of choice at breakfast. The staff were also very friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend and will stay again!

This is my third stay here after deciding to visit every year on my birthday three years ago. The hotel is wonderful - the decor is warm and cosy but stylish. I loved my room and that sea view is unbeatable. The breakfast is delicious and incredibly generous - I always get the full English but the juices, pastries and other bits at the buffet are also great. I also had the most amazing massage and facial at the spa! The staff are lovely and go out of their way to make your stay enjoyable.

Possibly the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in! The design is impeccable, every detail is well thought out and looks absolutely beautiful. We had a balcony room which was simply gorgeous, it felt like the best room in town - very spacious, calm, wonderful view. All the staff were extremely welcoming and helpful. Truly a perfect stay and would already love to return.

The perfect spot to relax and unwind listening to the sounds of the sea. We treated ourselves to one of the balcony suites and were not disappointed.

Margate is an interesting mix of old and new but there are lots of places to explore food wise. This is also my first visit to one of the Guesthouse hotels and I would be keen to try the others in the brand.

The pantry was a nice idea although there were no plates for the cake, glasses for the drinks or jugs to get the fresh milk from the fridge.

Parking is free after 6 outside the hotel but otherwise its quite expensive to park in the area.

Beautiful room with excellent attention to detail. The pantry was a great touch. Bed was very comfortable.
The negative was the noise (walls very thin so could hear people/tvs in neighbouring or above rooms easily.
Also breakfast was a let down as they had run out of fruit, avocado, croissants, despite having a booked time to eat.

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.

A Gem of a treat.

Wonderful stay in a quirky questhouse. Our luggage was picked iup at the train station in their luggage bike (by the owner!)and delivered to our room so we could enjoy fish and chips on the beach at the Kiosk (very nice) and visit the Turner Art Centre before check in. Easy short walk after our stay with luggage to the station.
We were not in a sea facing room but enjoyed breakfasts in the beautiful Pearly Cow restaurant and visited the top floor bar.
The room was very large and stunningly decorated. Bathroom was quite separate with the best shower she has ever had according to my sister while I luxuriated in the bath. Top quality bathroom lotions. Very laid back vibe. And The Pantry, complimentary, where we couldn't resist popping out for fudge, sweets, beautiful cakes, ice cream and cold drinks.
A Gem of a Guesthouse. 💕

Exceptional little hotel

Wonderful little hotel. I normally shy away from smaller hotels and go for the big name brands, but this hotel had good reviews and there were limited options in Margate. What a revelation. It’s a fabulous hotel. Every staff member I spoke to was friendly and welcoming. The bed was incredibly comfortable and they had thought of everything. I loved the little pantry for snacks, the radio and record players were nice touches and the robe and slippers are always welcome. The view was great too. Breakfast was delicious. I will definitely be back if I’m sent to Margate again with work or for a mini break

The room was EVERYTHING. Luxury, every tiny detail was thought out. From the cocktails in the mini-bar, to the locally made bath salts. This really was a dream come true. The only thing I would say is for a luxury hotel with a luxury room, the mindset of the management doesn't match. There isn't really any flexibility on small things / ability to accomodate in the way you might expect from a hotel of this standard. For example we wanted to check out 45 mins later and there wasn;t a booking immediately after us - but could not be accomodated without paying. We wanted a different kind of coffee, but you need to pay extra for certain coffees..

Either way HIGHLY recommended.

Very stylish! Comfy bed and quirky amenities. The coffee machine was temperamental and the lack of direct access to the main hotel was a shame as we had a spa treatment but couldn't really walk through the street with our robes on. The milk jugs at breakfast were dirty both days. Overall we had a great time but where the attention to detail in some areas was great, it lacked in others.

Gem of a hotel in Margate

This is a beautiful, gem of a hotel in Margate. There is a relaxed atmosphere as soon as you step in.

We had a room looking onto the sea with a balcony. The room was very big and spacious with lots of amenities. The decor is stylish with additional touches like a record player and vintage phone and radio.

The pantry with free snacks on the second floor is a lovely addition too.

The restaurant which is used for breakfast is stylish with a good view of the sea.

While we didn’t have the best weather for a seaside visit (!) the hotel made up for it making it a lovely night away. I would definitely recommend this hotel

The staff were all pleasant and happy to help.
