“For a seaside break, this Broadstairs hotel stands out with its cliff-top location and immediate beach access; the views are undeniably a draw. Family-friendly and dog-welcoming, it strikes a comfortable balance, though the limited dinner menu might prompt exploration of local restaurants. What sets it apart is the friendly staff; their attentiveness makes a real difference to the stay.”

decent roomlong wait for fooddisrespectful behaviour
The room was a decent size, and the beds felt quite comfortable.
There was a very long wait for food, both at breakfast and dinner. Our order got lost the first night, even though we paid in advance, a rather unreasonable experience. Non-residents came straight from the beach, using the restrooms and creating a mess. This was disrespectful to the facilities.

amazing locationgreat servicetasty foodbroken elevator
I really enjoyed the amazing location close to the beach, I could easily walk to the shore. The staff provided great service and a very warm welcome. I also had tasty food for breakfast.
The elevator wasn't working. I had to use the stairs carrying my luggage. It was not convenient.
