A beautiful and calming escape by the coast.
Pros:

The property is a showroom of style. We loved looking around at how they had curated the place.

Cons:

Our door handle came off and the door seal had come loose - but these were minor complaints about an exceptional property.

A beautiful hotel, with lovely staff, but there should be more attention to detail.
Pros:

The staff were really friendly and helpful. The decor was amazing and the bed comfortable. The shower and bathroom products were lovely.

Cons:

Only one person had a light switch, which controlled both the bedside lights. When I requested a separate bedside light, a lamp was provided, but it was far too dim to be much use.
The door handle fitting was inadequate for such a heavy door and it kept coming off. I think the screw was tightened, after I mentioned it, but the handle came off again straight away.
Nice to have fresh milk in the fridge, but it was only refreshed on request.

Pros:

L'hotel etait magnifique, la decoration etait vraiment au top. Les meubles choisis sont de tres bon gout. La personne qui nous a accueilli etait tres sympathique. La mini vue mer de la chambre etait une belle surprise. L'insonorisation etait aussi tres bonne, je ne m'attendais pas a n'entendre rien des voisins.

Cons:

La chambre et la salle de bain sont vraiment tres tres petites. Le prix est tout de meme eleve pour l'experience. En comparaison j'ai paye 1 nuit a cet hotel le meme prix que 3 nuits a Paris en plein ete. Ce serait bien de communiquer les horaires de l'accessibilite du Whatsapp, ou a qui parler pour tout ce qui est hotel - ce n'etait pas clair pour moi qui travaille au restaurant, au bar ou a l'hotel ou si tout le monde peut repondre a des questions d'hotel. Ca aurait ete sympa d'avoir un rabais pour le restaurant-bar qui est tres dispendieux.

A fun & flirty, stylish gem of Margate. If you like good taste & exciting interior design then Margate House is
Pros:

Such a fun, stylish, exciting boutique hotel.
Every corner has something to catch your eye & inspire you. From the bar to breakfast every step was sheer delight.

Cons:

Hard to find something to write. Our view wasn’t amazing.

Relaxing
Pros:

The breakfast was great. We enjoyed everything - granola, yogurts and fruits, sourdough toast and jam, coffee and apple juice. Service was friendly and relaxed - no problem asking for more of anything. We could have asked for croissants but were too full!

Cons:

Nothing. All the staff were so welcoming and friendly from the moment we stepped through the door. Loved the furnishings and the lounge area which was super nice for drinks. The bed was so comfy and having a sitting area in the room was so nice. The air conditioning was very welcome! We ate in the restaurant which made for a perfect stay.

Overall, we had a really enjoyable stay. beautiful, fun decor, friendly and helpful staff
Pros:

Beautiful decor, friendly and helpful staff, and a very comfortable bed. We loved the unique and fun decor throughout the hotel, which really added to the experience. The staff were extremely welcoming and helpful during our stay.

The food was delicious, and we were lucky enough to get a last-minute booking for lunch, which we really enjoyed.

The location was also great, with some lovely brunch spots nearby such as Fort.

Cons:

Late check-in / shared facilities
As two young women, it would have been great to have a larger toilet with space available while waiting for our room to be ready. This would make it much more comfortable for guests to freshen up and get ready after travelling. After having a drink and waiting for a while, a kind member of staff did manage to find us a space downstairs, which we really appreciated.

USB ports in bedrooms
It would have been helpful to have USB ports in the bedrooms. It makes charging multiple devices much easier without needing additional plug adaptors.

TV
A small TV in each room would be a nice addition for evenings when guests are tired after a day of exploring.

Noisy neighbour
Unfortunately, we had a noisy neighbour above us who woke up at 6am and proceeded to play their radio loudly. We would suggest leaving a small note near the radios asking guests to be considerate when using them, particularly during early morning and late-night hours. The hotel did kindly allow us a late check-out due to the disrupted sleep, which we appreciated.

Wonderful and relaxing stay!
Pros:

Location was great, short walk to all local attractions and restaurants. Hotel decorated to a high standard and super friendly staff.

Cons:

Nothing to note about the property itself; the reason it’s not 10/10 is more to do with the pricing of the room which felt high for the area and didn’t include breakfast (this is offered but at an extra cost).
