Loved area ,views stunning room was above expectations loved it
Pros:

Beautiful location room clean and facilities fantastic above what expected, only downside was no lift and had disabled mother who struggled with stairs, but apart from that everything was wonderful

Cons:

Stairs...on top floor with a disabled mother didn't even consider there wouldn't be a lift so that was a struggle as only knew no lift on day of arrival or we would've changed to bottom floor

Great seaside stay with an excellent location, clean comfortable rooms, and thoughtful amenities — especially good durin
Pros:

Excellent location right in front of the beach, only around 5–6 minutes from the train station and in the heart of Deal. Check-in and check-out were very easy with the automated text system. The hotel is also dog friendly, which we really appreciated.

The room was spacious enough and very well maintained and clean. Amenities were great too, including a microwave, plates, cutlery, and more than just the usual basics. The extra powerful air conditioning was especially important during the summer heatwave. TV also had plenty of free channels available.

Cons:

The fridge did not seem to function very well and was not very cold. The duvet was also a bit too thick for hot summer weather — it would be great if thinner blankets were available during warmer months.

This place is our favourite weekend getaway. We stayed probably most of their rooms but, we just arrived home after we stayed in the Smugglers cabin- by far I think this room was my favourite! Absolutely loved it!

Helpful and friendly staff, lovely rooms, great location
Pros:

At first look this hotel has strange labyrynthic corridoors with swirly carpets making you feel a little claustraphobic but the rooms were actually clean, bright modern and spacious making our time here very confortable. The staff couldnt be more helpful and accomodating and the seafront location was lovely , right by the Pier. The only thing missing was a conmunal lounge/ lobby where we could congregate ( we were a party of 12) or a restaurant for breakfast - we had to go outside but Deal had plenty to offer on that front and all very close to the hotel.

Cons:

Communal space/ restaurant

We had a great time and will come back to Deal to explore more.
Pros:

Beautiful room, great seafront view.
Fantastic facilities especially the in-room slipper bath.
Comfortable huge bed.

Cons:

Due to the location next to the reception and stairs there was quite a lot of internal noise from other hotel guests.
Maybe a heavy curtain over the door which would also help with privacy when opening the room door into the reception?
