Lovely Weekend
A great hotel with lovely decor, somebody has a special design flair. Balcony room well worth the upgrade cost with the sea views. Only slight downside was parking uncertainty, but seems to apply generally in Whitstable.

Lovely hotel with very poor parking situation…
Check-in was fine, but the parking situation is horrid! The hotel is a beautiful old seafront hotel which has been nicely updated. The dinner in the dining room was delicious as was the breakfast buffet. My room was well appointed and had all the luxuries that one would want. They did not have a conversion plug for an American iPhone, but the lady in reception was kind enough to charge my phone for me whilst I ate. Another nice feature was my petite balcony.but sadly, all paled to the lack of parking.

Beautiful stay at Whistable, really enjoyed the property and the area. It was very hot when we stayed and no air conditioning in the room so we did have trouble sleeping, however the place is gorgeous and such a fantastic view. Staff were excellent too!
