Lovely stay!

The staff were very polite! And the hotel room was nice and cosy. The stairs are a pain, so just be aware that there is no lift. Other than that, a lovely stay, right next to the water front… the staff were helpful, and so so polite! Wil deffo visit again!

Wake up to a stunning sea view!

Very good hotel, less than a minute's walk from the beach. Could not fault the hotel's welcome and their breakfast was always excellent. Two points to highlight: There are a number of stairs inside the hotel which some people may struggle with. Secondly, the hotel's car park is 'first come, first served' so once you get a bay I'd recommend you leave it there for the night. I had to go out with the car and returned late to the hotel which meant I lost my bay for that night - be aware!

Hotel Continental, Whitstable

Minuscule hotel car park. Ended up parking 10min walk away on 1st night. Parked on street next night (after 9pm). Chargeable from 08:30 in morning with max 4 hrs stay. So can’t leave car for day and walk around town. Ok room. En-suite had tiny sink on very weathered wood surface. Shower ok but leaky screen, so floor was very wet after. Good amenities with nice teas, coffee & water available Housekeeping very efficient & excellent breakfast

Excellent hotel, staff and location

Excellent stay. Check in easy & friendly and no waiting to be able to park or go to rooms. Location brilliant to seafront, harbour stalls and shops. Breakfast was delicious and good quality. Rooms nicely decorated and very clean. Waiting and bar staff friendly but needed more of them as busy bank holiday weekend. However, our rooms were cleaned daily and done within a short space of time. Recently had shoulder surgery and when receptionist realised, she came and carried my bag up to my room and wouldn’t let me do myself which was very thoughtful and considerate. Down sides: There is no lift and difficult for families with buggies to therefore get to their rooms. Other thing was coming back in evening first night as wasn’t sure if we could have drinks in the bar as all the sofa cushions were off the seats and staff member didn’t look or seem that happy to serve us at 10:45pm. However next night at around same time a different bar tender was very accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

Lovely Weekend

A great hotel with lovely decor, somebody has a special design flair. Balcony room well worth the upgrade cost with the sea views. Only slight downside was parking uncertainty, but seems to apply generally in Whitstable.
