Fantastic staff - helpful, polite, engaged, warm. Delicious and good quality continental breakfast, lovely bathroom amenities, very clean, charming cups and glasses, nice art. Beds are on the softer side. The hotel has been very thoughtfully redesigned and decorated from a mostly abandoned building, which does mean the soundproofing between rooms isn’t substantial but the charm and character balances the occasional noise.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. The room was clean and well organised to suit any guests needs. The bed was very comfortable. There was no TV. The continental breakfast included in price was exceptional, with a good selection of local produce and very tasty home made granola. Other cooked breakfast options were available at a cost. Parking was available locally at a reasonable fee and supported by the hotel. The location was ideal, opposite Turners Contemporary Gallery, so close to the beach. Good views from room and from a rooftop seating area. Would definately go back there.

A delightful hotel finished to a very high standard. The building remained unused unil the owener, Thanet Borough Council, auctioned it. A total refurbishment (except for the 2 fireplaces in the bar/restaurant left as an example) has provided a very high standard of rooms and facilities. The staff are very proud of their hotel and this shows throughout. Having paid more the previous night to stay in a poorly maintained hotel from the same era, it was a relief to stay here. Ideally located on the end of 'the strip' retaurants were only less than 10 minutes away. We use the Buoy and Oyster and had a pleasant evening and good food. Parking maybe an issue, but if you drive into and past the Turner Contmporary, through the pay car park, you will eventually reach a section of foreshore road which is available for parking, but popular. The walking siatance up the exit road is about the same as walking back past the Turner. If you fail to find a spot, then you can always park in the pay Turner car aprk, but after the visitors have left, and you are going out, then move your car and save the majority of the fee.

Such a nice hotel, fresh modern rooms with a coastal feel. Comfy bed, great shower and well made cappuccinos from the bar.

Fab location, close to everything that Margate has to offer but just far enough away to be quiet Very nice helpful staff and decent continental breakfast.

Staff amazing and very friendly and informative

Service was exceptional with excellent amenities and very thoughtful design in rooms & throughout the hotel

We really enjoyed our stay at the Fort Road Hotel. The room was lovely and the hotel has a great look and feel with beautiful art throughout. Fantastic location near the Turner and lots of great restaurants. The only small downside was not being told much about amenities like bar hours, the rooftop (which was closed), or how breakfast works. Otherwise, everything was great and we’d definitely stay again.

Great location, good design and friendly staff

Yes

We had a nice stay at Fort Road Hotel. Our room was newly renovated and well decorated, and the staff were helpful. The hotel is well located in Margate, and the breakfast buffet was lovely. It is a nice hotel, but the lack of air conditioning meant that the room did get quite stuffy. There also wasn't enough ventilation in the bathroom, so the whole room got misty after a shower. The shower screen is also slightly too small, so water does tend to get all over the floor. Our room was on the first floor with a partial sea view, but there were windows from the adjacent building that look directly into our room, and our window only had cafe curtains covering the bottom half of the window. For privacy, we needed to close the curtains completely, blocking the light. Some lighter curtains for privacy would have been nice. We enjoyed our stay, but for the price I was hoping not to have to think about some of these issues.

Great location for a weekend break

Excellent hotel. Everything is well laid out and perfectly furnished from the elegant bathrooms to the welcoming rooms. Even the stairs are perfect with their quality wooden flooring. The whole building has a good feel to it. All the staff were superb. Warm, welcoming and helpful. The voucher for a cocktail in the basement bar was a delightful surprise. The basement bar with its Saturday DJ may be catering for the younger generation, but it was great fun, even for us with only few grey hairs left. Again the bar staff were spot on. An excellent hotel. If I ever have to stay in Margate again, then 100% the Fort Road Hotel would be my immediate number 1 choice.

Tastefully decorated with high quality furnishings and finishes with lovely sustainable led toiletries. Location is great and right near the sea front. Breakfast was full of great quality ingredients. Only downside was that our room was very hot, we walked in and there were two fans on so this is clearly a known issue by the hotel, however it did make it hard to sleep in such heat.

Overpriced for the experience we had. There was no tv or air conditioning and the view was very unpleasant. The staff however were very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was great.

Great little hotel right in the centre, excellent staff who were very friendly and helpful!

A beautiful location and room (with a reading nook!) - with friendly and helpful staff, and a good spread provided for breakfast.

Very convenient for the Turner, the beach and the old town. Parking by the Turner. Excellent staff.

I have to wanted to stay at this hotel for a while and visiting friends this weekend was the perfect opportunity. It did not disappoint; beautifully designed, warm welcoming service and excellent coffee!

Really nice place with excellent staff who really make you feel welcome. The food in the restaurant was first class and, although very busy, the staff worked wonders to get everyone seated and served promptly.
