10/10 Excellent
"Loved everything about the hotel. Immaculate, cozy, spacious room. TV was small but had good picture quality. Beds were comfy. View was wonderful. Felt like being in a lavish home rather than a hotel. Restaurant food is excellent; very well prepared. They have an excellent chef. Breakfast was continental plus à la carte, which was a nice change from the buffet breakfasts you normally get at hotels. Fantastic location just a stone’s throw from the beach. Only negative for me was that I couldn’t connect my PS4 to the WiFi even though I was assured before arriving that I could. It’s the kind of place I would have loved to stay for days on end."

"Clean and inexpensive place to stay. Room was pleasant and warm - it was wet and windy when we visited so we were grateful for somewhere to dry out! The hotel is well served by the Loop bus making travel between Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadstairs quick and easy. It’s also across from Westcross Shopping centre, which was handy when we needed to buy a raincoat and extra layers. We didn’t have breakfast, preferring instead to travel to nearby cafes. All in all, very good."
