Lovely, clean room with nice decor and comfortable bed.

I arrived at the hotel at 2pm to try and drop my bag and collect a key. I was attending the Margate Soul Festival and knew I’d be back very late. The hotel was locked so I called the number from the website. I was abrubtly told that check in was at 4pm and I’d be charged £5 to drop my bag. After paying £175 for one night I thought this was very steep! I had to really beg the owner to let me collect a key and was made to feel pretty awful in the process. Finally I was allowed to drop my things and collect a key and I left immediately. Personally I think when running a hotel you need to allow a little flexibility. The shower in the morning was scorching hot too!

Fabulous location, comfortable lounges with complimentary tea and coffee available. The bed was very comfortable and although the room was very hot due to the nice weather, we asked for a fan and were given one immediately. Lovely little courtyard at the back with seating.

Parking is available at the back of the property, however we were informed this couldn't be reserved prior to our stay. On arrival we asked if there was a space available and was immediately asked if we had reserved a space? Luckily there was space for us to park at a cost of £12.50 per day on top of the room price. I feel the parking should be free on a first come first served basis. The spaces are also very small, especially for a bigger 4x4 like ours.

Great location, good harbour view, very local to town centre. Lovely historic house, lots of original art on the walls, VERY comfortable bed, good shower.

Room a little cramped, stairs not for the faint hearted (that includes me?!) I was situated at the top, admittedly....had to watch my footing.. TV signal not the best - bit 'in & out'. £150 fine threatened for not closing front door. ( Notice stating this, on the ( you've guessed it?) Now, I know, that this very important, but doesn't leave a very welcoming ( or closing) impression?!! Also, 'palm reader' technology, followed by 6 digit code to get back in the building I was in .. ( there are two, one next door to the other) Bound to flummox a few people, I' m sure. Ok, but wouldn't rush back.......

We did a self check in, which worked after 5 attempts (probably my fat fingers) The room was absolutely stunning. Harbour view (room 24), absolutely gorgeous bed linen, super comfy beds, impeccably clean and USB ports by the plugs. TV in the bath too - I mean, what more could you wish for. BRILLIANT. The only issue was we had some very exuberant 'active' people above us who 'exercised' all night, loudly.

Soundproofing between floors. The building is beautiful and old and we had some particularly active neighbours - I am sure normally this would not be an issue. Cold bathroom

Very clean tidy room, nice location for harbour, town, bars, restaurants and beach. Staff friendly, nice view of harbour and sea from room, whole building like a time warp, real old style decor, nice lounge and communal areas, again all very clean and tidy, didn't feel like a hotel, more like staying at granny's house, quaint English seaside hotel.

Stayed on 3rd floor, lots of steep stairs, no free parking, can park outside hotel for about £3.50 but maximum of two hours,

All electrics worked well, plus easy onto WiFi & TV. Bathroom clean & water flowed away without pooling in shower, so good. Room clean. Basic tea/coffee kettle facility ok. Although the traditional metal bed frame supported in middle underneath looked fragile, the mattress & bedding were clean & comfortable. I liked the style of many classic pictures & books, but may not be to everyone’s taste. The 3/4 separate sitting rooms downstairs with music & TV & many books & pictures with self serve tea & coffee 24/7 facility, nice for solo travellers or mature couples. Not really a place for children under 8 yrs.

The wood lined walls with feel of being in a cabin may have a cosy feel for some, & matched the look of some of the pictures, some guests staying may not like quite so much, as small room. The view was half walled garden, but mostly street view, houses. Perhaps time for the armchair to have a new cover. The parking directly outside property possible, didn’t have too much trouble with this, but may have to wait for a car to leave for a space, or a space big enough, as people park there to use local restaurants, bars in town. Recommend arrive as early as possible in aft/early eve, rather than later in evening, for easier parking & entry to hotel. If arrive late eve, & no one hears doorbell ring, look along for basement door of hotel for owner/staff contact.

They are slow at returning our property damage payment, and we weren't offered help with our bags as stated in the description,also we don't drive,we came by train and had to find the hotel by foot, the manager wasn't very helpful, he just kept saying ask someone, which we did and we were sent in the wrong direction, so when we did find it ,we were exhausted.lovely place to visit but won't be staying at the Royal Harbour Hotel again.

We had the most wonderful stay at the Royal Harbour Hotel.From the moment we arrived, our host was incredibly warm and welcoming. Our room was absolutely spectacular, full of character and charm, beautifully decorated, and incredibly cosy. It had such a unique, pretty feel to it and we slept like absolute babies. The location couldn’t be better, it’s close to the beach and overlooking the harbour. It was the perfect coastal escape and we can’t wait to come back.

Amazing location. Everything on the doorstep and wonderful view from the bedroom. Door code given so no need to have a key and could keep ourselves to ourselves. Parking- couldn’t use the hotel car park as full but two mins walk away was a multi-storey car park that was under £10 for 24hours so we used that. Room was small but still lovely and had everything we needed. A really pretty well maintained property.

Pillows were very soft and the duvet was exceptionally thick but the bed was comfortable and I still slept, just a bit hot. Wouldn’t stop me from returning. Maybe a couple of bottles of water with the tea making facilities, I used the tap in the bathroom and it tasted weird so maybe wasn’t drinking water!

The bed was clean and comfortable. Walk in shower. Location near the harbour. Checkin was easy and quick when I arrived at 6pm on a Saturday.

It was described as garden view but was mostly views of the rear of other houses so you need to keep curtains closed for total privacy. The shower was not very powerful although worked well enough. I personally didn't mind at all but it is on the top floor so up 4 flights of steps which are not too steep.
