The room was so beautiful, the design and interior was well thought and intentional. One of the most beautiful places I’ve ever stayed at. My girlfriend and I loved it so much! It was very clean, staff were very helpful and pleasant. I’d definitely recommend this hotel to anyone going to Margate. The location was perfect as well. Such a lovely place, I didn’t want to leave. The pantry with different snacks was such a cute touch!

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.
