Fantastic Stay Near the Railway!

immaculate room fresh bedding convenient location

The room was immaculate!!! It felt more like staying at a friend's home than a hotel. Towels and bedding smelt SO fresh! The location is great as the beach is a ten minute walk and the steam train station is just a minute away.

Leaving involved navigating a steep metal external staircase while carrying bags since the pub door wasn't open yet.

Location

9/10

The hotel provides excellent access to the Romney Hythe & Dymchurch Railway, directly across the street. several nearby restaurants and a local Co-op store offer convenient dining and shopping options if you need anything during your stay.

Service

The manager quickly showed us where we could safely store our bikes during our cycle tour. The staff ensured the room was cleaned on our second day. fresh towels, coffee, and milk were provided, which I appreciated SO MUCH!!!

Facilities

The hotel can be accessed through a pub, which provides a unique and interesting experience. The room included good quality bedding and towels, and despite being above the pub, it was really quiet and comfortable.

broken door lock unavailable breakfast

the location proved perfect for visiting the railway. i could not have asked for a better spot.

I was surprised there was no breakfast available, and the kitchen was closed. i saw a poster outside advertising food, so i expected something. the door lock on my room was broken, and the television volume did not work. It was all quite disappointing.

Underwhelming Stay

dirty bins no greeting

The room lacked proper heating. I found the bins in the room were also quite dirty. I did receive a text about my arrival time. no staff greeted me upon arrival to show the room or provide instructions. I chose to leave before breakfast due to the cold, seeking warmth in my car instead.

comfortable stay near the steam train

immaculate room fresh towel easy check-in

The room had lovely attention to detail (i appreciated the fresh towels). it felt more like staying at a friend's home. i enjoyed being able to see and hear the steam trains from the windows. being able to check in via text was fantastic. This made coming and going easy.

The kettle plug did not work well. I had to push it in to make it work.

locked door fire risk

The staff was helpful and suggested places for us to visit. The pub downstairs was nice.

I found that the main door was locked when I wanted to leave, and there was no one around. I had to find my way out through a back door. This was a fire risk. A sign said, 'Smile you're on CCTV,' like I chose to exit this way.
