Fort Road Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely quaint place . Great breakfast and lovely friendly staff with a perfect location"

The Beetroot

10/10 Excellent

"I loved my stay at The Beetroot. Michael was really helpful, and lovely to meet; he also gave me an early check-in which was great. Sam who was doing work around the car park was also really nice and really helpful. The room itself was perfect - comfortable bed, great selection of teas and I loved the decor of the bathroom. The location was perfect, too - so close walking distance to everything: restaurants, cafes, the beach, and all the tourist attractions. I only wish I could have stayed longer but I didn't have time in my itinerary. I will have to come back, would stay here again in a heartbeat, and I would highly recommend it to anyone."

Lovely House in Trinity Square

10/10 Excellent

"Fabulous stay in a great location for our needs. Easy & smooth communication & no issues whatsoever. Two bathrooms & seperate loo was a huge plus & towel & toilettries provided was appreciated.We cooked & ate in everyday & all we needed was provided.Beds are really comfy & all the rooms were cosy & well presented. It is on a busy main road but it didnt bother us & you can't be that close to everything & not expected it. 5 minute walk to old town, beach, lido. 2 supermarkets minutes walk away. Wouldn't hesitate to stay here again if returning to Margate."
