Stayed for 2 nights with breakfasts in the morning. A very friendly,comfortable place for a short break. A good location, short walk to the harbour and town.
I would come again.
Great location, extremely friendly check in staff, lovely area. Comfortable bed and niceand quiet. Basic, but eveything that was needed. Free water bottles and chocolates in the lounge area was a lovely though
Welcoming staff. We had a good night's sleep; quiet and peaceful location in Ramsgate. A freshly cooked, delicious breakfast.

Ok for a place to sleep
Hotel is definitely not a 3 star. Tired & needs updating
Friendly welcome, clean bed & great breakfast
Lovely setting, you become part of history as the building and the square has so much history. Breakfast was freshly cooked and you had many choices if you did not fancy a full English. Ramsgate is a piece of France in the UK with a lovely harbour and fine restaurants to be found. Ramsgate has a lot history and lovely buildings that date back many hundreds of years. Great bus service to plan days in neighbouring villages and towns.
Very good value and the breakfast is a bargain.
Visiting in a heatwave, it perhaps wasn't ideal to be in one of the south facing bay window rooms with a sea view as it got quite hot, but any other time of year would be fine.
The shower was a little on the small side but worked fine.

Somewhere to crash for the night
This hotel/b&b was ok for the money, friendly host who was accommodating with check in and showed me to my room. Room was basic but had everything you need for a quick overnight stay.

The hotel allowed us to check in about 45 minutes early
The room was basic with a double bed and a shower/toilet room and a wash hand basin in the main room
A nice clean room in a quiet area. It’s in a good location, a short walk from the beach and plenty of shops nearby. The host was friendly and laid back. I would stay again if I visited Ramsgate.
Shared bathroom not ideal and up 2 flights of stairs. Condition of furniture in room poor. Cup and saucer and all the condiments to make a hot drink hut NO kettle. Room decor really poor. The only good thing was yound lad making and serving the breakfasts in the morning and doing it solo. He is a credit to spencer court. The breakfast was also very good.
Loved the view over park. Centre of Spencer close and tennis courts. Lovely and clean with 2 comfortable chairs in the room. A little concerned about the condition of the decking for the small balcony. The kettle lead did not reach the plug from dressing table. 14 steep stairs. To help with this a hand rail is required.
The place cannot be described as a hotel. It is a B&B and a pretty basic one. The building itself was very rundown and in need of renovation. Our room had a nice view and a comfortable bed but we did not like the idea of the sink being in the actual bedroom instead of the bathroom. There was only a cupboard to hang clothes but no drawer space. We think it is misrepresented on your site as stating having a garden and free self parking. This implies that the hotel has parking facilities but it was just actually street parking. All in all not a great experience.
Firstly, the staff member who I met whilst checking in was very polite, informative and kindly showed me to my room and carried my suitcase. The 'hotel' is in a nice position near the seafront on an attractive square in which Vincent Van Gogh once lived! Breakfast was ok. Not the best, but not the worst either. Helpful to have a mini fridge in my room too to store milk and drinks.
Unfortunately the 'hotel', which it really isn't, hostel would be a better description, is in serious need of renovation. Whilst some attempt has been made to 'freshen it up' in recent years, i.e paper over the cracks, slap some white paint over plus some dodgy DIY bathroom fitting, it has been badly done and needs a proper overhaul. I was given room 10 in the attic, up a tight little spiral staircase. It was advertised as having a private bathroom, but I wasn't expecting it to be separate from the room, back down the stairs to some grubby little hole! The bedroom was covered in dated artex which had white paint roughly slapped over. The furniture was the cheapest you could buy and there were electric cables trailing everywhere! But the most frustrating thing was the windows didn't shut properly and the wind and rain whistled through all night and I didn't sleep well. The funniest thing was that I noticed the hotel had a framed 'commended' award given by the council proudly hanging on the wall by reception. It was dated November 1991! Says it all! Hopefully this place gets the TLC it needs one day.
Easy and convenient bed and breakfast, staff are friendly. Would come again next time im in ramsgate
