Walpole Bay Hotel

What an amazing find, we only got to know about it because it was featured on TV, like stepping back in time but for all the good reasons, staff were brilliant, room spotless with great views. We had a nights stay for my wife's Birthday, afternoon tea with our family was brilliant and breakfast the next day was excellent. Bed was so comfortable.

This hotel is magnificent and well worth a visit. The staff were terrific and could not be more helpful. Only draw back was they don’t do evening meals but it was not a problem as there are good local restaurants and Seb the taxi driver is very reliable.

We visited the Walpole Bat Hotel to celebrate my sisters Golden wedding anniversary and chose this hotel for the history and the aesthetic. We had the most amazing time and I cannot say enough how amazing the staff are. As my sister was not aware that we were all coming to stay the hotel we’re brilliant helping to keep this a secret! Celeste,Demi, apologies I can’t remember all the names on reception, the night porter nothing was too much trouble Rooms were lovely and decorated in line with the history of the hotel. Museum pieces were interesting and well worth a wander round. Lovely sea views from the hotel as well as room. Breakfast was wonderful with all items hot which is unusual with a buffet breakfast. The staff in the breakfast room were attentive and quick to clear tables and offer hot drinks Overall an excellent experience and will definitely visit again Thank you

We spent three nights here with friends. I appreciate the hotel is also a museum but it felt more like a junk shop. Our bedroom was old and tatty with threadbare carpet and a hard uncomfortable bed which didn’t do our backs any good. All staff were pleasant though. Although on checking out they were a bit abrupt and didn’t ask how things had been for us.

I initially booked this hotel purely based on price and that it was conveniently located for a friends hen do which was booked in a venue up the road. When the taxi pulled up outside, I couldn't get over how pretty it looked, the exterior was full of greenery. The interior of the hotel is very old fashioned and traditional, but certainly not in an outdated way - it was full of character. The rooms were lovely and spacious with comfy beds. Breakfast the next morning was delicious and all freshly cooked. The staff were incredibly friendly throughout our whole stay, including posting me back a jacket which I realised I'd left in the room after we had checked out. I will certainly visit again the next time I'm in Margate.

We loved our stay at this hotel. The hotel is so creative and fun. It felt like going back in time. It is situated right by the sea so only a short walk to the beach. The breakfast was fantastic and probably the best scrambled egg we have ever had. We look forward to staying here again.
