Fort Road Hotel  |  Hotel in Margate

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.

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.
