“The Royal Harbour Hotel has a particular charm, starting with a prime spot across from Ramsgate's harbour. Its quirks-communal areas with books, and vinyl music-make it a memorable, eccentric base. Rooms are well-maintained, some with sea views, and the location is ideal for exploring local attractions.”

harbour view gem

great locationharbour viewfriendly staffcomfortable bedding
the location was excellent. i had a good view from my room overlooking the harbour (it was a treat). the building had character and the staff were friendly. the bedding was comfortable. i liked the little courtyard at the back with seating. complimentary tea and coffee were available in the lounges.
The stairs were a challenge. I was right at the top and it was difficult to get my cases up using the rope.

mixed feelings about harbour stay

convenient locationminimal staff assistance
the location proved convenient , and the artwork throughout was interesting.
staff assistance was minimal and slow to materialize. furthermore , the room's fan barely provided any relief during a particularly hot night , leaving the space stuffy and uncomfortable.

Charming stay with harbour views

clean bedroomharbour accesscreaky floor
The hotel bedroom was very clean with tea and coffee making facilities. The room included a tv and a shower. I liked the easy access to amenities overlooking the harbour.
I could hear every movement other guests made. The floors were so creaky, and the cistern flushed every time someone used the toilet.
