No.42 by GuestHouse Margate
10/10 Excellent
"Wonderful little hotel. I normally shy away from smaller hotels and go for the big name brands, but this hotel had good reviews and there were limited options in Margate. What a revelation. It’s a fabulous hotel. Every staff member I spoke to was friendly and welcoming. The bed was incredibly comfortable and they had thought of everything. I loved the little pantry for snacks, the radio and record players were nice touches and the robe and slippers are always welcome. The view was great too. Breakfast was delicious. I will definitely be back if I’m sent to Margate again with work or for a mini break "
"This is a gem of a place.
So,cosy,quiet even though in the old town.
So tastefully decorated inside and the patio areas.
Lovely teas to sample in the room.

Boutique Central Margate Apartment - Edge of Old Town!
8/10 Good
"My friends & I enjoyed our stay at the flat. We found the beds comfortable & the location ideal re: its proximity to the beach, restaurants & shops.
We appreciated having a washing machine to use and good cooking facilities too. We also found the flat comfortable.
Unfortunately, the plumbing in the shower & toilet were faulty &, as a result, proved quite time-consuming & frustrating to deal with. :-( The water didn’t drain during showers, & the difficulty re: flushing the toilet properly proved to be both frustrating & a real embarrassment at times. Although we were definitely warned about this in advance & informed that we’d have to use the “macerator” to solve the problem, it didn’t always work. I would have appreciated it if this particular issue had been completely resolved prior to our 5 day stay, in fairness. Otherwise, it was a lovely flat! "
