Lovely hotel, in a wonderful position overlooking the sea. The staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful.

Lovely two night stay with a friend. Staff all cheerful friendly and helpful so full marks to them. This hotel felt friendly and rooms were cosy - you could adjust the heating (and in summer air con) which is really useful. Tea/coffee making facilities in room with an excellent selection of teas and coffee and hot chocolate - you also get a small flask of fresh milk. My friend and I both said that this is a hotel we would feel quite comfortable and safe in if travelling alone.

Great character hotel with excellent service
Very friendly welcome and beautiful hotel full of character in a sea from location. Room very comfortable and well appointed, including good quality tea tray items and coffee machine. Excellent dinner and breakfast. Great value for money and higher standard than the price suggested. Standout feature was that every member of staff was friendly, efficient and engaging and made our stay perfect.

Perfect stay at The Marine
We went to Whitstable on a nostalgic trip in search of the oysters! We were not disappointed. As for The Marine Hotel, it was perfectly located on the beachfront, the room was welcoming and most comfortable. Breakfast was excellent and the bar area too. Would certainly recommend it to any travellers visiting Whitstable.

A charming surprise of a place
Surprisingly great hotel. Didn’t give it much thought when I booked and expected a tired old seaside place. I was so pleasantly surprised to find a well fitted-out, smart, comfortable hotel and room. The staff were all lovely too - so helpful and friendly. The place was busy with guests which was great to see and created a good atmosphere. There was a party on in the event room but it just felt nicely festive and didn’t disturb anyone. Everything went really well. Breakfast was excellent. The exterior of the hotel is charming (Edwardian style I think and pretty) and the interior has been refurbed well and decorated in light and bright seaside colours. I will come back next year.

It was unfortunate that the shower mixer was not functioning properly no was the toilet giving a good flush that could not flush away toilet paper at times. We were only staying there for one night! So can’t comment if it was fixed. I was told that the property is old and things go wrong! I don’t accept that comment surely thay should have been fixed and fully operational when we use them for the first time! When we were leaving the hotel the elevator stopped working with my wife and son in it. I would not recommend this property to anyone for staying longer than one night from our experience!

Staff were very helpful, but the air con was not working and they could not tell us when it would be working again. I would not of booked, given it was a sea facing room.

Lovely beachfront hotel
We had one night at the Marine Hotel which we booked last minute. Finding a hotel to visit with a toddler isn’t always easy but I could clearly tell from the outset that Marine Hotel offered itself as a child (and pet) friendly hotel. Beautiful beach front views, free parking outside the hotel and an absolutely brilliant breakfast! All the staff we spoke to were wonderfully friendly and helpful. A wonderful bolthole for visiting Whitstable and the nearby area.

The Marine Hotel is a really lovely venue situated in the perfect seafront location. We were pleasantly surprised by our room, it was spacious, clean and freshly decorated. The bed was very comfortable and linen was crisp and fresh, ticked all my boxes, so it was - 5 stars all round. Loved our seaview too! I was a bit disappointed with breakfast, the service was slow and just didn’t match my expectation of The Marine. It was okay though. It might’ve been because there had been a park run outside and a large number of the runners came into the hotel for coffee/breakfast etc Overall though, I was very satisfied with my stay at The Marine Hotel. I would definitely stay there again and so would recommend it☺️

Spent one night here as it's one of my bucket list items. The room was lovely, overlooking the sea and slopes, very quiet even with being above the outdoor seating area. The staff were also lovely. I especially enjoyed talking to the older receptionist on duty when I went out for fish and chips in the evening. She even went out of her way when I booked out the following morning to come home, coming outside the hotel to say goodbye and wish me a nice day. (She was busy on the phone when I checked out). The downsides to the room were the pillows, very lumpy, the mattress, also lumpy, gave me a backache and the toilet roll was extremely thin. I think they need better quality toilet rolls for the price you pay for the room. I loved the fact that they ask you if you'd like fresh milk for the room, when you book in, and give you a small thermos flask from the fridge with fresh milk. The breakfast was also good although the poached eggs weren't as hot as they should have been.

Harley who is actually a chef was so helpful - I could not get out of the stairwell as they are locked at night ( there is a night exit but the main stairwells are locked )- It was very difficult to navigate all the stairs alone with the main doors locked . There was nobody on reception when I called the night staff . Harley helped me . He was very kind and should be thanked
