Families rave about the friendly and lovely staff, ensuring a warm welcome for everyone. The hotel offers complimentary breakfast on weekends, which is a lovely way to start your day. Its location is also highlighted as fantastic, providing easy access to Margate's attractions, while the beautiful and well-maintained rooms provide a great retreat after a busy day out. > > > Lastly, [The Hussar](https://www.expedia.ca/Margate-Hotels-The-Hussar.h4676526.Hotel-Information), also a 4-star hotel with a rating of 8.0, is a comfortable choice for families. While it lacks some of the dedicated amenities for children that the other hotels offer, guests have praised the clean and comfortable rooms and the enjoyable pub atmosphere. The self-parking facility adds to the convenience for families travelling with their own vehicles. ### Which area of Margate is best to stay in for families? > The Old Town area is wonderfully central, allowing for easy strolls to the main sands of Margate Beach, which is great for building sandcastles and a paddle. You'll find Dreamland nearby with its classic amusement park rides, and the Turner Contemporary art gallery often has family-focused workshops and activities. The cobbled streets of the Old Town itself are charming, with plenty of independent shops and casual eateries that welcome children. > > > Cliftonville offers a slightly quieter, more residential feel while still being very close to the action. It's renowned for its beautiful sweeping sandy beaches, particularly Walpole Bay, which boasts a tidal pool great for a safe swim at low tide. This area also has some lovely green spaces and playgrounds for children to enjoy.
