I appreciate that the building is old, but single glazed windows in 2024 is a shame as we could hear clearly the noise from the street.

Location is pretty central and very close from the beach. The amenities were very good (tea, coffee, complimentary water and local beers), and the decoration of the room is very stylish, room was big and bed was very comfy. Breakfast was very good and freshly prepared.

There is no parking at the pub and parking in the town is quite expensive. There is however a Charity Car Park a bit further up the High Street at Whitstable Junior School from 9am-5pm (10am on Sundays) on weekends and during school holidays. Not only is this much cheaper (they ask for a donation), but it provides valuable income for both the school and the various charities that take it in turns to run the car park. Overnight parking is available in council run carparks; the cheapest ones are Band 3 and the nearest of these is on Shaftsbury Road.

The pub is located right in the middle of the town, which was ideal for access to shops. restaurants, the harbour and beach. The room was delightful: nicely decorated/furnished, very comfortable, well thought out, clean and in good condition. Very good shower and a nice bright bathroom. The complimentary bottles or water and local beer were a nice touch and much appreciated. There was a good choice of cooked breakfasts and the ones we chose were excellent (perfect poached eggs!), served with nice coffee and juice. A very limited selection of cereal was also available on request. Overall, we really enjoyed our brief stay and would happily recommend!

We had a one night stay with our disabled son and we were very comfortable. The breakfast was lovely as well.

The Hotel was lovely and clean and fresh and the position was perfect.

The cleanliness of the dining area on our visit didn't quite meet the high standards set by the rest of the facilities, though the breakfast was very enjoyable and of good quality.

Very welcoming and friendly staff. Excellent room with nice facilities. Situated just steps away from the beach, the location is excellent!

Nothing it was all fab

Great location right in the centre of Whitstable, a short walk from the train station. Really lovely rooms, recently refurbished and a lot of attention to detail such as well thought out lights and bedside usb connections, local beers left in room, coffee machine. The pub itself is lovely and although we didn't have dinner there the menu looked great and our breakfast in the morning was delicious and a fab selection. Would definitely stay here again. The pub was very busy but all staff friendly and helpful

A little noisy from street in morning and no parking but car park very close by. Understand they couldn’t have a hotel car park.

The interior design. The size of the room and the separation of the bathroom from the bedroom. Nespresso machine, tea-pigs, biscuits and even free local beer. Bathrobes and comfortable bed. Great location and breakfast included in the price. Would highly recommend.

We stayed in the Emeline room, beautifully decorated and very bright, overlooking the high street and pub courtyard - however noise was not an issue at all. The room is cosy and comfortable, great bed. Good shower too. Nice touches like a usb port in the bedside table socket, nice selection of teas and complementary local beer bottles. Digital TV with access to Netflix etc. Yummy breakfast and kind and helpful staff. Location as central as it gets. Thank you!

We understand that the hotel has undergone a recent renovation which was clearly done with style and comfort in mind. The building itself is shown off in all its mid Victorian glory and the rooms have been designed to match. We were really impressed by the well-equipped room, along with the luxurious furnishings, the beautiful full-length windows, the comfortable bed and the excellent shower. Breakfast was delicious with a good range of choices. The kitchen was flexible enough to adapt to what we wanted. Overall this was a very positive experience.

The room was lovely but the staff were the stars of the show. We had one of the top floor rooms and it felt very peaceful despite being in the centre of the town on a Saturday night. Everything you need is close by. Breakfast was very good, served to order until 11am.
