Fabulous view with balcony Superior room did not have robes. Paint work in bathroom and bedroom needs addressing. Bath area needs good clean. Carpet in place’s disgusting. Bed comfy, as were coffee and tea facilities. Would stay again, but would not pay the room rate for this room!
Great location, staff were superb, lovely local shops, cafes & restaurants, walking distance from Whitstable town centre. Only criticism would be the hotel is overdue a lick of paint.

Disappointing stay with friends!!
Friends got stuck in lift twice. Our shower controls were so stiff we couldn’t stop it dripping. When we ordered brandy they gave it to us in tumblers, When we asked for brandy glasses the member of staff was very rude. Breakfast service could be more efficient. Cereals, conserves and fruit could be put out so people can help themselves. People don’t mind doing their own toast. Taking orders at breakfast was very slow could be more efficient. Some staff very helpful like receptionist others couldn’t care less. Bedroom windows need attention and lots of scuff marks on walls. Bottle of white wine ordered for dinner wasn’t cold no excuse for that. We were offered ice to put in it but eventually we did get another one free of charge. Need to find an eco friendly cleaner for toilets if you don’t want to use bleach.
Lovely location, great breakfast and. Restaurant menu. Staff very friendly and efficient. Very popular hotel and only room available was a ‘classic’ with no sea view where the bathroom was adequate but could have done with a refresh. Have stayed many times in the superior rooms and they are fab.
