Firstly, the staff member who I met whilst checking in was very polite, informative and kindly showed me to my room and carried my suitcase. The 'hotel' is in a nice position near the seafront on an attractive square in which Vincent Van Gogh once lived! Breakfast was ok. Not the best, but not the worst either. Helpful to have a mini fridge in my room too to store milk and drinks. Unfortunately the 'hotel', which it really isn't, hostel would be a better description, is in serious need of renovation. Whilst some attempt has been made to 'freshen it up' in recent years, i.e paper over the cracks, slap some white paint over plus some dodgy DIY bathroom fitting, it has been badly done and needs a proper overhaul. I was given room 10 in the attic, up a tight little spiral staircase. It was advertised as having a private bathroom, but I wasn't expecting it to be separate from the room, back down the stairs to some grubby little hole! The bedroom was covered in dated artex which had white paint roughly slapped over. The furniture was the cheapest you could buy and there were electric cables trailing everywhere! But the most frustrating thing was the windows didn't shut properly and the wind and rain whistled through all night and I didn't sleep well. The funniest thing was that I noticed the hotel had a framed 'commended' award given by the council proudly hanging on the wall by reception. It was dated November 1991! Says it all! Hopefully this place gets the TLC it needs one day.

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.

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.

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.
