Finde Hotels in Margate

There’s not actually a great deal of hotel choice in Thanet but this Marston’s Inn is located in equidistant between Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate. It is basic and slightly better than a Travelodge - certainly the telly is bigger. Our room 209 was looking a bit tired / dated and the a/c gurgled throughout the night. Bed was fine and it was actually quite quiet (apart from the aircon). It was handy to have free parking but we didn’t stay for breakfast in the adjacent Canterbury Bell pub.

Hat ein schönes Aufenthalt im Botany Bay Hotel,Superior Sea view room was amazing the staff were friendly the room was clean, Das Essen aus dem Restaurant war sehr schön, wird sicherlich hier in der Zukunft wieder buchen

We had a five night stay at The Yarrow and we had a wonderful time. Although it is a historic building it was well maintained, bright and airy and super clean. All staff were super friendly and helpful but also very professional at the same time. We felt very relaxed. Our room was spotless and bright with plenty of room and we also had a view of the sea. The bed was so comfortable! We did have a couple of niggles with the room - nothing too problematic but worthy of a mention. The pillows were new (as I discovered) and too hard for us. I asked if there were any softer ones available but sadly there wasn't. Having a pillow choice would be beneficial. The bathroom, whilst spotless and cleaned thoroughly every day - could benenfit from some shelving. There was only one very small shelf with no room for wash bags or toiletries. We had to store ours in the top of the wardrobe... It was also a little bizaar entering a bathroom through double doors. Not sure if all rooms have this but it was a first for us. Lovely soft fresh towels too! Breakfast was a delight. It was buffet style with hot and cold options and there was plenty to choose from. You do have the option of ordering specials from a menu too. A very relaxed atmosphere and lovely waiting staff on hand if you needed anything. We were surprised that you have to get your own teas and coffee from a machine though. Not great and not sure why they don't offer fresh tea and coffee brought to your table. This is something I would expect from a hotel of this calibre. If like us you like to leave the car behind and take a break from driving - it is a short 5 minute walk into Broadstairs itself or you can catch the Loop bus right outside the hotel. The Loop bus is a convenient way of getting around the local area which doesn't cost the earth either. There is a large car park at the hotel but you do run the gauntlet of cars and people at certain times of the day, mainly between 8.30 and 9 am and 4.30 to 6pm. The hotel is adjacent to the local college and at the far end of the car park is a childcare nursery. They all share the same vehicular entrance so it does get very busy with students and cars coming and going. Would we recommend The Yarrow. In a word - yes!

Plenty of possitves including comfortable refurbished room in good location with sea views. Breakfast had good options including gluten free and vegan. Staff at breakfast also very accommodating. On the down side there was no fridge in the room. You get given some milk in a flask but it goes off, and you have to keep going to reception for refills. We found the bed a bit hard and the pillows even harder. The bathroom floor tiles were very dirty. The biggest issues was not having hot water over our 4 day stay. After notifying reception the first time we were told a new boiler had been installed and to wait a while. That made no difference at all, an experience repeated on the many times we raised it with staff. We were repeatedly told the issue had been resolved, or to try running the tap for longer, or to wait until latet. On complaining more firmly we were told an engineer would be called and that ”something would be done to our bill”. This made no difference and no adjustment to our bill was made. I appreciate problems sometimes occur but we were never given an explanation and we never felt we were being taken seriously. Given how much we paid, not being able to shower properly for our whole stay was unacceptable. Sadly we would look at alternatives if we revisit Broadstairs.
