Lovely room and great service. We would definitely stay here again, both for the hotel itself and location. Extra huge thanks for the fact I left my bracelet at the hotel and the staff went above and beyond to reunite me with it, so grateful to all involved! Highly recommend!! X
This place is amazing! When I went to Margate with my partner we stayed here and the service was amazing before I even got in the door, as the receptionist help me get my bag in the front door! Every one was so friendly and kind, and the location was brilliant, bring on the seafront and only a few minutes away from most attractions. The room was absolutely lovely, with beautiful decor and quiet nights, and a lovely little en-suite. The staff were also super accommodating as I’m autistic and if I had any worries, they were reassuring, helpful and truthful. I honestly could not recommend this place enough!!
I made a last minute booking for a double room over the weekend for a very reasonable price and was not expecting much, but the room and service I got went above and beyond expectations. The room was very comfortable and modern. The bathroom was a great size and had great facilities as well. The hotel is also very close to the Turner Gallery, main beaches, old town and Cliftonville. I will definitely be looking for availability at the Victoria first when I next visit Margate.
We had a wonderful stay here. Comfortable bed. Absolutely brilliant service. Great atmosphere. We loved the decor. We'll definitely stay again if we come back to Margate
Very nice hotel run by a charming team! Location is fantastic - just the road might be a bit noisy as the windows are single glazed
We went there for their restaurant opening night and the food was lovely Kaleb has made the place look stunning and atmosphere is really recommended, had a lovely time well done the whole place looks stunning, definitely worth a visit
Our second visit to this hotel but now with new owners. The reception lady was fantastic! Friendly, gave us all the required information to make our stay comfortable. She even allowed us to leave our luggage there, we arrived very early, so we could go into town for lunch. The room was clean, well furnished with everything we needed for our stay and included a fantastic shower. The windows opened wide so allowed lots of fresh sea air with a view of the sea as well. What a view to wake up too! I would highly recommend staying here. We were also told that they are renovating the bar and back garden area, so we will definitely be going back there again.
I booked this hotel when most over places were full and it was a great decision. The whole hotel was incredibly clean and beautifully decorated. Rooms are cosy and comfortable. Cannot fault the service in any way. It made us feel safe to know the front door is permanently locked and only staff and guests have the code to enter. The staff are friendly and work hard to keep their guests happy. Will definitely book again.
Set in a Victorian house, this modern hotel is a 5-minute walk from both the Turner Contemporary museum and Margate Sands, and 3.5 miles from the RAF Manston Spitfire & Hurricane Memorial Museum.

Short, honest notes are more useful than long ones. A few sentences about what worked, what surprised you, and who the hotel is best for will go a long way.
