Top Margate Hotel Reviews

Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"L’hôtel est très beau, propre et confortable. Les chambres sont au goût du jour. Près du centre historique à pied. Nous avons passé un beau séjour. Le personnel est très gentil et aidant."

The Botany Bay Hotel

8/10 Good

"Amazing friendly staff all round. Service fantastic. Breakfast was great. Dinner was ok but not the best. (Had steak) The Bed wasn’t comfortable at all, terrible night sleep, needs a new mattress 103."

ABode Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"Location central. Short walk to the Canterbury Cathedral , easy access to walk on the Wall close by that surrounds the old town.. Lots of shops and places to eat. The walk to the hotel was longer than anticipated but was much more pleasant on the way back to train station back to London being more relaxed knowing the route. Highly recommend visiting Canterbury. Recommend staying two days to see Canterbury."

Holiday Inn Express Canterbury by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic stay. Staff were very helpful and friendly."

Broome Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"The former home of Lord Kitchener offers large rooms and surroundings with old times charm. Room Kimberly had a specious sitting room with fridge and a smaller bedroom with loft ceiling. Didn't have a breakfast. Tried the small gym and small swimming pool, access code changes daily. The once beautiful grounds need a bit more attention . Free parking, decent price. Highly recommended"

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."
