"Ideal location. Room nice and quiet overnight. Air con was very welcome. Staff were great. Would stay again when I go back"

"Room was freezing cold, no heating on, kettle didn't work. They did offer to change our room but other room was also unheated. As check in is 2pm.We checked in at 4.40pm 14th Feb, room was icy cold. Hot water was temperamental. Room should have bern warm & water hot, Hubby had cold shower i gave that a miss.should be heated by then"

"I loved this hotel. Lovely bed with white linen. A window that actually opened. Bathroom was lovely too with shower gels and ahampo and soap. I had a lovely sleep. I will stay here everytime i visit ramsgate. There is a bus stip that goes to margate on a loop. Opposite the marina and staggering distance to the bars. Real value for money. Thanks for a lovely stay."
