Booked on the basis of reviews on here and failure to find any decent accomodation in Ramsgate before. I was disapointed given that at nearly £100 a night this is no more than a B&B. The room although a double had the bed pushed against the wall so if 2 people had been in room would have been a nightmare. The room was clean but had to move a chair every time i wanted to get into the wardrobe. Breakfast good although was kept waiting 10 mins on 1st morning as they didn't notice i had come in as the staff were chatting. Nice enough place but not at this price

Stayed here 4 times now and it is a great little place. Some of the rooms a little on the small size but clean and the breakfast is excellent, although you may have to wait for a table when the hotel is really busy.

My wife and I stayed at the Royal Harbour hotel for one night - and that was more than enough !! The first problem we had that there was no parking, except in the street, which was packed with cars.....so we had to park some distance away and carry our luggage to the room. The room was tiny, with no space to even store a suitcase....however, the room was vast when compared to the bathroom, which was extremely cramped. Whilst all of this was disappointing, what was even worse was the fact that the room we had had been divided into two at some stage and the dividing wall was paper-thin, meaning we could hear everything that was going on next door.
Our night there wasn't cheap (£115) and the website portrays the "hotel" (which is actually a B&B) as a nice place to stay - it isn't. My advice - give it a miss.

I booked to stay here because of a fabulous review in the Daily Mail - weekend edition. When I first got here, I was a bit surprised as everything was a bit smaller than I had expected but after a night in a very comfy bed, a room with a balcony and after the BEST breakfast I have ever had in a hotel, the little eccentricities made it stand out.

The decor, films, books and homely touches made it less sad to be away from home on business, the general feeling was that I could enjoy myself and have a bit of time for me to relax and do what I wanted to. I would say that this hotel was well worth the stay but don't expect the blandness of a chain and enjoy the quirkiness, after all, unique is far better than boring.

A few minor things tho - there is no parking outside unless you are lucky, it is quite a way from the station and when I didn't know how to get the DVD working instead of the TV and couldn't find anyone to help me at the time, instructions would be helpful. Finally, a welcome pack in the room would have been really good including some guidance on local places, facilities and especially restaurants would be good as I walked in the pouring rain and nowhere was open which put a (very hungry and wet) downer on my first night and could have been avoided.

However, these are small things are easily rectified and compared to having a welcoming ambience and a relaxing comfortable atmosphere, they are insignificant almost.

Thank you for changing my mind about the seaside !
