We arrived late afternoon and went to the bar to check in as reception was closed. I asked one member of staff if we could check in. She turned to another person and said, 'that's your check in.' Not exactly offensive, but not welcoming either.
Other than that:
The bed was big, but not hugely comfortable.
The hot tap in the sink didn't work at all, i.e. zero water.
The room was large.
Breakfast had a good selection.
Fabulous friendly staff we were really looked after, lovely room and fantastic breakfast, definitely want to visit again very soon.

The reviews for the property are generally very good but our experience was very dissapointing. Our room was large and warm but the bathroom was huge and freezing and tired with a wonky shower it had a lovely rolltop bath that my wife enjoyed. The rooms away from the sea are by a busy road and poorly soundproofed so noisy and you could here every step the person in the room above took. It was also windy so the windows banged.
Breakfast buffet was not replenished until someone complained and I had to remind staff that I had not had my toast, it felt like there was no one running the breakfast room.
Generally it was all a bit sloppy and seemed to lack good management.
Would we stay again no
Historical hotel with a very good bar. Faces the sea and the room we had was large and really stylish. I would stay here again without doubt. Lovely breakfast this morning too. Staff really welcoming
A beautiful and understated hotel on Deal beach with a lovely bar, lots of history, clean, friendly staff, right near the pier & dog friendly. Superb place and I'll be returning for sure.
Spacious rooms with comfortable bed. Large fluffy towels in a good sized bathroom with a shower with plenty of power.
Fantastic tasty breakfast with plenty of choice.
Definitely value for money in a lovely location.

Fantastic room with sea view and balcony. Some areas a bit tired but this didn’t spoil our stay.
