I was pleasantly surprised with the connecting rooms, both featuring double beds, at this lovely hotel. The warm welcome was a nice touch, and the room was spotless. However, there was a slight smell of fresh paint lingering around. The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and provides all the necessary amenities.

The connecting rooms with double beds were a wonderful surprise. The room was spotless, but there was a lingering smell of fresh paint.

Service

The staff were incredibly hands-on and accommodating, even offering us an alternative room for one night and refunding one night's stay, which was much appreciated. They were warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home.

Location

7.0

The location was good overall, with a great view from the room, but it might not be ideal for elderly guests due to many stairs. The hotel is very convenient, just a few minutes' walk from the Old Town and the beach.

Dining

7.0

The dining experience was enjoyable, with hot and plentiful food. However, the limited availability between 08.30 and 09.30 may be early for some. It would be nice if the breakfast hours could be extended. I also encountered a bit of disappointment as my husband prefers his food well-cooked, and the options were somewhat limited. There was a slight issue with customization of orders, but overall, it was a nice experience.

Facilities

8.0

The hotel has all the facilities you need for a comfortable stay, including a restaurant serving fresh seasonal fruits and other amenities.

The hotel is in a convenient location in Margate centre, with easy access to shops and bars. The rooms, although equipped with a good hairdryer and coffee/tea facilities, were small for a two-night stay. The service was welcoming and efficient, ensuring a pleasant stay with a tasty full English breakfast. However, the dining experience was a bit disappointing for those seeking well-cooked food. The location scored well for its convenience, but the overall appearance of the area was very run-down. These aspects added to the mixed feelings about the hotel.
