Having been to the Marine on many occasions found the bed in the room was of a very poor standard. It was very uncomfortable and sagged to one side. Now this is clearly not what you have delivered before, even to the point that my wife then suffered back ache for a number of days. I have spinal conditions and lumber problems, I found the bed very uncomfortable indeed. Room 15, it spoilt our stay there. And at £175.00 through expedia expected more, premier Inn was cheaper and there beds of a higher standard. Many thanks. Mr and Mrs Coaten

Marine hotel in Tankerton was very comfortable. It was extremely cold while we were there but lovely lady in housekeeping gave us a radiator for our room which really helped warm the room. All staff, particularly Karen on reception and Patsy in the restaurant, plus many whose names I don’t know who really were excellent for which we thank you all so much for making our stay so enjoyable!

Great location, staff were superb, lovely local shops, cafes & restaurants, walking distance from Whitstable town centre. Only criticism would be the hotel is overdue a lick of paint.
