It really doesn't merit one point. No curtains in the room, filthy and cigarette burnt carpets, broken cord on light in bathroom, hole in shower curtin. Generally looking unkempt and dirty. Had to ask for extra pillows (only two on the bed) and light bulbs which were missing. Food not too brilliant, not much choice if you don't want cooked... More

Me and my boyfriend stayed here on saturday night. The hotel is in a lovely location right by the sea, and we had a room with a balcony with a gorgeous sea view. However, the room had no curtains - just purple net.. which meant in the morning we were woken by bright sunshine and had to use the throw... More

Light, bright and clean. Fabulous location. The view alone is worth staying here for. Staff were friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Music from the function room can be heard but that didn't bother us. We will definitely be coming back.

My wife and I stayed 2 nights for a photography event on the adjoining Dungeness peninsular. The Sandgate was the closet sensibly affordable accommodation. We were comfortable, well looked after and as always only stay at truly motorcycle friendly hotels, something the Sandgate truly is. Some may remember it featured in one of the early Gordon Ramsays Kitchen Nightmare episodes,... More

Good value for money hotel. Very friendly and helpful staff, great location on the seafront, just a shame that it was on this particular seafront. The hotel is actually a light in what is a very dank area. Room was clean and functional, good supply of brew kit and extra pillows etc. Good bathroom but very thin walls and draughty.... More

Ok so £45 a night, what are you expecting? Bathrooms are a bit tired but clean and everything works. Rooms basic but decent and modern decor. It is a great find for overnight before the tunnel early morning and they even give you a packed breakfast if you're leaving before 8 and its fab!! Staff so friendly. Only minus point... More

Booked the night before travelling and so took a bit of a risk. We were greeted by very friendly and helpful staff and throughout the stay, we could not fault the service. The room was big enough and clean. The only reason this hotel did not get an "excellent" vote is because the decor was a bit tired in places... More
