The Falstaff Hotel

The Falstaff Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"A lovely one night stay here pre theatre trip to the Marlowe theatre. The added benefit of good paid onsite parking. The hotel does a two for one happy hour for cocktails from 6-7pm with a cheese plate for nibbles for hotel guests. Post theatre is was a very short stroll back to the hotel with post theatre night caps very close by outside. Breakfast was adequate, we would have liked a hot porridge option especially as the weather is cooling down now, but breakfast good otherwise. Altogether a good stay and we would return here again."

"Nice room near the lift as requested. Enjoyed a couple of drinks in the cosy bar in the evening. Appreciated the coffee bags in the room. The location is fantastic for exploring the city. Breakfast was very reasonably priced but wouldn’t bother again. The sausage and bacon were nice quality but spoiled by overcooking. The fruit salad was just a mix of melon and pineapple. Our bags were looked after without fuss, while we wandered around the next day. Would definitely recommend and stay again."

8/10 Good
"We had a great stay - the huge bed was really comfortable, the spacious room was great, everything was spotless; we loved the modern bathroom. There was no view from our room, but the staff were super helpful and made a fuss of our dog and brought her welcome bowls of water in the bar every day. We really appreciated the extra pillows and the kettle in our room too. There was a good selection at breakfast, although the full hot menu was only available one morning. We should have asked for a tray to save us going to and from the restaurant to the (dog friendly) bar to eat. We loved the stylish refurbished bars, and enjoyed the bar games. Shame the restaurant was closed for refurbishment, as the food looked amazing in the photos but the bar meals were ok. Better outside signage would be beneficial; we nearly missed the hotel entrance several times in the car as there was nothing when approaching from the left. But a great stay, and conveniently situated."

10/10 Excellent
"From the moment we entered till we left, we knew we had made the best choice by staying at The Conningbrook Hotel in Ashford. Tucked away of the main road only adds to the attraction of the experience. Staff were friendly and helpful upon arrival and the room was very cosy. It had everything that could be needed at a stay, from ironing board to hairdryer and a full length mirror! The little attention to detail made the whole difference to our stay. Would highly recommend using them as the experience was great throughout."

10/10 Excellent
"Clean and inexpensive place to stay. Room was pleasant and warm - it was wet and windy when we visited so we were grateful for somewhere to dry out! The hotel is well served by the Loop bus making travel between Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadstairs quick and easy. It’s also across from Westcross Shopping centre, which was handy when we needed to buy a raincoat and extra layers. We didn’t have breakfast, preferring instead to travel to nearby cafes. All in all, very good."
