Great place to stay

Lovely setting, you become part of history as the building and the square has so much history. Breakfast was freshly cooked and you had many choices if you did not fancy a full English. Ramsgate is a piece of France in the UK with a lovely harbour and fine restaurants to be found. Ramsgate has a lot history and lovely buildings that date back many hundreds of years. Great bus service to plan days in neighbouring villages and towns.

Very good value and the breakfast is a bargain. Visiting in a heatwave, it perhaps wasn't ideal to be in one of the south facing bay window rooms with a sea view as it got quite hot, but any other time of year would be fine. The shower was a little on the small side but worked fine.

Memorable for all the wrong reasons

Stayed with the purpose of doing the Pegwell bay parkrun the following day. The bed was noisy and old. Creaked with ever move. And despite my partner and I both being slim we sort of dipped into the middle of the bed. To add insult to injury one of the other (less savoury guests) were shouting their heads off at 4am and as a finale pee’d out the window directly outside of our window…. We could literally smell it. Definately a memorable experience, though defo not one id want to repeat.

Nice location with near by bus route of Thanet.

Loved the view over park. Centre of Spencer close and tennis courts. Lovely and clean with 2 comfortable chairs in the room. A little concerned about the condition of the decking for the small balcony. The kettle lead did not reach the plug from dressing table. 14 steep stairs. To help with this a hand rail is required.

Firstly, the staff member who I met whilst checking in was very polite, informative and kindly showed me to my room and carried my suitcase. The 'hotel' is in a nice position near the seafront on an attractive square in which Vincent Van Gogh once lived! Breakfast was ok. Not the best, but not the worst either. Helpful to have a mini fridge in my room too to store milk and drinks. Unfortunately the 'hotel', which it really isn't, hostel would be a better description, is in serious need of renovation. Whilst some attempt has been made to 'freshen it up' in recent years, i.e paper over the cracks, slap some white paint over plus some dodgy DIY bathroom fitting, it has been badly done and needs a proper overhaul. I was given room 10 in the attic, up a tight little spiral staircase. It was advertised as having a private bathroom, but I wasn't expecting it to be separate from the room, back down the stairs to some grubby little hole! The bedroom was covered in dated artex which had white paint roughly slapped over. The furniture was the cheapest you could buy and there were electric cables trailing everywhere! But the most frustrating thing was the windows didn't shut properly and the wind and rain whistled through all night and I didn't sleep well. The funniest thing was that I noticed the hotel had a framed 'commended' award given by the council proudly hanging on the wall by reception. It was dated November 1991! Says it all! Hopefully this place gets the TLC it needs one day.
