Stayed in this hotel as part of a Ladies Festival, the food was excellent and the staff more than helpful but the room was terrible. We were allocated a room on the first floor which was split level and had a kitchen and sitting room area. The kitchen was fine (although we didn't need or use it) and looked clean... More

We stayed in room 1c (the allocated pet room) as we travelled with a dog, whilst other family members stayed in the main hotel. Whilst I appreciate that pet friendly rooms must be seperate from the rest of the hotel, this should not mean that standards are basic. This is a very large room which requires updating and bringing in... More

Just returned from 3-day break in Margate, principally to view Turner Ex. Well pleased with our decision to use this hotel. Helpful and efficient check-in, sizeable car-park, lift to room on 2nd. floor and more-than-pleased that my request to have a sea-view was confirmed. If Cat-Swinging was an Olympic event, then our room at Smiths Court would not appear on... More

I took a party of 42 (32 with learning difficulties) away for a long weekend. The staff couldn't have been more helpful, they coped well with our guests who sometimes have unusual or unnecessary requests. Our guests were always treated with respect (which doesn't always happen!). The food was fantastic, properly cooked, no microving here, food presentation was also really... More

Nice family run hotel, very helpful. One wheelchair accessible room / wet room. Be aware door width under 1100cm. Easy access all around considering the age of the building.

The hotel were very accommodating of our last minute booking for a breakfast event. The staff have been fantastic and I look forward to visiting them again. Also gave us sea view rooms at no extra cost.

stayed for a couple of days, could not wish for a better welcome, very friendly. rooms however require TLC - could not fault the meals, brilliant for the price, staff very attentive. unfortunately Margate is very run down - had to watch where we walked on the paths as full of dog mess.

Thank you for your lovely review. As I have mentioned previously, Margate is up and coming, and with the Turner Contemporary and the regenerated Old Town, there is more to do than ever before, although we are pushing for Margate to be the best that it can be. We are glad that you enjoyed the hotel itself, the meals, value... More

Have just come back from a 2 day stay (friday and saturday nights). First impression was not good as the hotel is in a rather run down area on the outskirts of Margate, the receptionist was not the most welcoming and our room was small to say the least. I am please to say that was about as bad as... More
