“The Royal Oak Hotel benefits from a prime seafront location, placing guests conveniently opposite Ramsgate harbour, near various restaurants, bars and shops; some rooms, however, are on the third floor and there is no lift. While the staff may not always be available to assist with luggage, the clean rooms and excellent showers, some even with a bath, make it a reasonable choice. In my opinion, this hotel offers basic but well-located accommodation.”

Fantastic Harbour Stay!

better roomearly check-incomfortable bed

Stephano really came through by finding us a first-floor room. I struggle with stairs due to my heart condition, and he made check-in early too. The rooms are newly decorated, and the king bed was super comfortable, really great. I even had a marina view from my window!

The outside could use fresh paint.
