Top Margate Hotel Reviews

Holiday Inn Express Canterbury by IHG

ABode Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"Really lovely hotel right in the middle of the historical high street, and it has got parking and the most amazing soft and swishy beds. Couldn’t fault it"

Holiday Inn Express Ramsgate - Minster by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Location close to a petrol station and other amenities for food, and the breakfast was great with a lot of choices."

Holiday Inn Dover by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were very helpful!"

The Falstaff Hotel

8/10 Good

"We had one night in Canterbury, we spent Sunday shopping along the High Street and then had a meal out at the local Weatherspoon's (at the end of the hotel car park). The hotel was beautifully clean. We had a good nights sleep and woke to have an amazing full British. All we could ask for... Car parking is £15.00 for the day-night which is done on the smartphone and nothing to do with the hotel so you must be Techie Savvy to park. Overall and excellent experience and exceptionally close to the high Street for shopping."

No.42 by GuestHouse Margate

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful stay - breakfast was delicious!"

Broome Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"Bedding, towels, bathrooms were all clean but the lodge itself needed a bit of TLC in places. Broome Park is a beautiful setting and the golf is amazing. Loved exploring the nearby areas. Overall a great holiday and at a good price via Expedia 👍"

The Hussar

8/10 Good

"The lady who checked me in was friendly and welcoming. The room was nice and clean and the bed was comfortable. The ensuite facilities were good."
