Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel

8/10 Good

"it was a nice hotel but you had to drive to get anywhere without driving."

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."

No.42 by GuestHouse Margate

8/10 Good

"We loved having a room with a view of the sea. And a little private terrace to go with it. Very beautiful as dusk fell. Being in the heart of the Old Town was great. However, for a top room (£300+a night), we were expecting something more 'special.' The beds were comfy, the linen lovely, and the art work charming, but the room didn't feel special, and it felt tired. A friendly guy brought us milk for our coffee at 8am - but why was it not in the room? No mini fridge either. A mini fridge is pretty much standard in a pricey room! We'd heard the breakfasts were great. However, the eggs, though perfectly poached, were smothered in manufactured gloop. So, a mixed bag! However, the staff (especially the waitress at breakfast) were lovely."
