Relaxing seaside location
Welcoming staff. We had a good night's sleep; quiet and peaceful location in Ramsgate. A freshly cooked, delicious breakfast.

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.

Somewhere to crash for the night
This hotel/b&b was ok for the money, friendly host who was accommodating with check in and showed me to my room. Room was basic but had everything you need for a quick overnight stay.

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.

A nice clean room in a quiet area. It’s in a good location, a short walk from the beach and plenty of shops nearby. The host was friendly and laid back. I would stay again if I visited Ramsgate.

It was more of a B&B than hotel, however the staff were friendly and welcoming, breakfast was plentiful and well worth the £2.50. Refrigerated bottled water was provided in a communal fridge which was great in the hot weather.

I love these type of B&B’s. This B&B is steeped in history built in the 18th century, On the land owned by the Spencer family, Vincent Van Gogh also lived on the square, so this is not a modern hotel if that’s what you’re looking for, it has steep stairs and smallish rooms, but is full of character, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the hospitality was fantastic and the breakfast was delicious, the pub on the corner is very friendly and only a short walk to the beach.

The staff- Gary and Hamid - were friendly and helpful, carrying my heavy suitcase, up three flights of stairs. The WiFi connection was wonderful. The breakfasts were generous and delicious. My en suite had everything I needed.

This is an old building and that was reflected in the facilities.
Cleanliness minimal but bed was pristine and very comfortable.
Nowhere to sit in the room, only on the bed.
Guest sitting room, tired and minimal furnishing. There was a fridge with free bottled water.
Owner welcoming. Breakfast very good, cooked to order.
OK experience.

Awful place, nice staff
Genuinely baffling that this place is considered 3* by anyone. On arrival, we were shown to room 7 (photos attached) - buckets on the floor to catch the rain coming through the ceiling, a massive water stain on the bed, a bathroom door that only opened from the outside (girlfriend was glad she wasn't staying on her own!) and a curtain rail falling off so you couldn't shut the curtains.
The guy who checked us in was nice and friendly and moved us, but given they have 10 rooms and there was only 1 other couple there over the weekend, baffling they put us in there initially.
Bit of a farce at breakfast too - partially my fault as I'd not read the blurb to say breakfast cost extra. We saw it was a B&B from the outside so thought we'd make the most of it. Only when we were eating were we informed that the (pretty grim, incorrect items of) breakfast we'd ordered were chargeable at £10 each! We'd have gone elsewhere if we'd known it was chargeable. Again, staff on the day were lovely and just felt bad for her having to be the face of such a poor place.
Honestly baffling how this place functions. Would HIGHLY recommend finding somewhere else.

Parking was very difficult but that is what it is. Should have been told that it would be difficult. Parked 2 streets away.
