Great value!

Absolutely couldn’t fault it. The room was great. Plenty big enough for a family of four. The facilities linked to the rooms were fantastic. The breakfast available was extensive & real value for money. Also the room rate was an absolute bargain. Very, very impressed!

Great value for money stay!

Popped to Ramsgate for a few days to look around as we are planning to move to the area. Booked to stay here for 2 nights as it was central and have to say for what it cost I was pleasantly surprised at how nice the room was! Large bedroom, clean and well furnished/decorated. Comfy huge bed and easy to pop over to the pub for food and drinks. Would book it again.

You just can’t go wrong

A really great stay. Genuinely surprised. For this price range this is by far the best hotel we have stayed in. It’s streets ahead of TravelLodge and Premier Inn. This was so clean, smelt lovely, comfy beds and the nicest duvet. Lots of tea and coffee, Air con, nice bath. Service Immaculate. I cannot find a single fault. Absolutely worth its price and more. Already recommended to friends and family. The restaurant is beautiful with amazing food. You just can’t go wrong

Although in January, the price was very budget friendly. The room was excellent value, clean, bath and shower good ( water fairly hot ). Bed clean and plenty of plugs and usb sockets. Restaurant just a stones throw away. Breakfast superb and at reasonable cost.

Have stated many times before and will in the future. It is as expected, clean and comfortable, friendly helpful staff. It is a nice hotel with a pub that serves great food, although it could do with a bit of refurbishment as is getting a little tired round the edges. I always recommend it to anyone coming to the area.

Room smelt damp and moldy. Asked for tea and coffee to be refilled but it wasn’t. - didn’t ask for the room to be serviced during our 4 day stay - just some extra teabags! Breakfast isn’t great and we were charged in advanced for the full English - even though we didn’t have it every day and we chose lower price options. Parking and location best thing about the hotel.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Overall I was really impressed with the facilities especially for the moderate cost. The room furniture was very minimalist and being a lone traveller of 74 years it would have been helpful to have somewhere to put my travelling case for access to its contents other than on the bed or the floor. The room temperature was also very cold on a couple of occasions.
