Clean airy room, they had plenty of towels and clean bedding. They had put the trundle bed out ready which I thought was nice. They had ample parking which was really useful.

The room had some aspects which felt a little cheap, the kettle wouldn’t shut properly, the sink wouldn’t unplug, which was annoying when brushing our teeth, and the curtains nearly fell from the wall when trying to close them.

Hotel was separate from the reception (that's in the bar area) get your key and cross the car park road , easy to swipe in main door and room door.
room was nice and tidy / clean but window wasn't fitting frame properly so wind and road noise could be heard very slightly.

Room clean but you need to ask for housekeeping if you’re there more than 1 night. Electronic door key took 3 taps to open every time. Breakfast is over the road in the pub, self serve for cereal, yogurt, tea, coffee but order cooked breakfast.

Avoid this hotel at all cost. Firstly the hotel reception is located in the main restaurant and the staff are too busy dealing with other customers so you will end up waiting with luggage in a restaurant trying to check in, staff are unhelpful and do not even greet you. The rooms are stuffy and uncomfortable. I stayed with my family and the bathroom is dirty and smelly. When i complained for a different room staff told me to check out and request refund because no other room can be given. The water pressure is very low and bath tubs are dirty . Alot of lime scale is visible on taps and the carpets seem very old, beds are ok but the bedding had yellow stains in the corner as housekeeping may have tried to hide from guests. I also noticed mice running around in the carpark that made my kids feel uneasy. Maybe because restaurant food waste was left at the back of the building.

The location was good, right by shopping centre, with a regular bus that runs to both Margate and Ramsgate.

The room was quite basic, the beds were hard and lumpy with pillows as uncomfortable too. I barely slept the first night. There was also a lot of mould, especially in the bathroom, and basics like a hairdryer was missing, as was the information to call reception about the missing hairdryer. I ended up popping across the road to reception to ask for one, which did arrive about 30 minutes later.

I paid for the breakfast, and in hindsight would have left it and gone to one of the many places over the road. The avocado and poached egg on toast was quite disappointing with a cheap sliced bread with processed avocado. Purchasing ahead reduced the cost, I'd have been really disappointed if I'd paid full price. The second day I ordered the pancakes which were much better.

The staff were lovely though, and all very helpful. Can't fault the people who worked there.

Room was ready on arrival early afternoon. Staff at reaction check in which is inside the pub were polite and friendly. Explained everything regarding the parking and breakfast times etc. Room was clean and tidy. I had a room overlooking the carpark which I liked as I could see the car. Stayed as line female for a family funeral and I ate in the pub in the evening with other family members. Service in the pub was good they were friendly fussing over the dachshunds we had. Food was good albeit compared to where I live expensive but I guess that’s a regional thing. I used Meerkat discount which made it more reasonable. Would recommend and definitely stay again.

Breakfast was excellent and worth paying for.
Large car park.
Clean room and staff provided more towels for us swiftly upon request.
Having the pub in the same location is handy for food and drinks, plus has a children’s play area. The location is excellent - shops and fast food restaurants on the doorstep, plus the bus station. We got the Thanet Loop bus easily to Margate whilst staying at the Canterbury Bell.
Provided soap, shower gel and toilet paper are basic and you so may wish to bring your own. Also, no toilet brush available in the room for info.

My only issue was that I had an accessible room and the window let traffic noise in which disturbed me at night and there is no shelf in the bathroom for toiletries etc

I have stayed here many times. It has always offered good value, decent, no frills accommodation. However, this time, the room really wasn't acceptable. The bathroom basin was badly cracked and the bath plug had been replaced with one that was significantly smaller, meaning that I couldn't fill a bath, as the water ran out as fast as the tap was filling it. I had also asked for a quiet room and was assured that I was away from the road, but the traffic noise kept me awake until the early hours.

Stayed in the \"accessible\" room and it was not to a great standard.
It's a shame as it seemed it was the only room of this standard and if a complaint were to be made there will be no other options.
It has opened my eyes on what shoukd be addressed.

Clean room, friendly and helpful staff, very nice experience, very quiet considering the location, which is perfect for visiting Margate, Ramsgate and Broadstairs, and also a Ladies dream but a mans night mare as Primark just over the road.

Room was ok.

Disappointed in the fact the restaurant was closing at 8pm...nothing was mentioned when we booked and we travelled 4 hours didnt eat as we thought we would eat in the restuarant. But all that was on offer on boxing day was a 3 course meal which consists of Christmas dinner

Luckily the Hooden Horse was open and it was very accomadating so we had food and drinks there.

The room is not designed for a wheelchair user.

The bathroom was not clean

The was a pungent smell in the room that kept you awake all night

Having a wet room is one thing, have a room for a wheelchair user is another

a) a plank of 4- 2 wood as a threshold is a wheel chair users nightmare

d) clothes rail that is to high for a person in a wheelchair to reach

c) a shower fixture to high to reach

One tea bag and one sachets of sugar, for two people on a two night stay is very poor.

No room service,

No draws to put clothes in

Last but not least, the traffic noise is constant all night as the room is very so close to the road.

Clean room but had a lingering damp smell. Kept the window open in an attempt to remove it.
Room needs better care. Some repairs have been done but paintwork not matched. Damp damage evident in bathroom nearest wall adjoining room. Lots of limescale marks on taps, toilet flush and kettle

Friendly staff.
Our room was disappointing due to the chronic noise from the ventilation going on and off every few seconds, which meant we had little sleep! The Canterbury Belle bar looked very bright and appealing, but the rooms are dark, with poor lighting. We won’t be returning!

The room was clean but smelt very strongly of bleach that seemed to be covering a damp smell, otherwise the room was exactly what we needed. The parking was good, the surrounding shops are easily accessible. The real star of this stay was the attached pub, great service, food and reasonably priced.

Overall good experience

Nice rooms, convenient location. Appeared to be quite busy during breakfast and possibly staff appeared very busy as a result. I think the current cooked breakfast option is not ideal. It would be a lot better if those items were available as a part of the self serve buffet.

Very clean and comfortable, close to huge shopping centre which could maybe be both a pro and a con but we made the most of it! Staff were kind and helpful and we had everything we needed. We wanted to be close to the beach in Broadstairs and the loop bus takes 40 minutes- wish I had researched this- it's a nice scenic route though and a much shorter journey to Margate, so we went and had dinner there one evening. It is also a shorter journey to Ramsgate and had we had more time we would have spent longer in all three places as they are all great. In a car it is a short journey from Broadstairs (8 minutes according to google maps) and the pub is in Broadstairs but also only a hundred yards or so from both Ramsgate and Margate, right on the border of the three. I'd recommend it.

Do not accept room 201 if you want to sleep

I have stayed here before and it was great. Unfortunately this time I had room 201 which must have been next to / above / below some sort of boiler or machine that vibrated and whirred all night long, constantly. Did not sleep at all. Otherwise it is a good hotel.
