San Clu Hotel

It’s a long time since we slept in a 4‘6“ bed in a hotel. As the hotel was less than half full an upgrade would have been a good idea. On arrival, whilst checking in the receptionist decided to answer a phone call and continued talking while I was waiting to be checked in Not sure when Days Inn took over, but it hadn’t improved. Tinned tomatoes at breakfast !

Walking along cliff top in Ramsgate, got very cold, popped in for a drink at the San Clu. Warm friendly atmosphere, the barman (think his name was Finn) was very friendly and polite!... A pleasure. Will visit again!

Beautiful double aspect corner room, woke up and watched the sun rise over the sea. Room and bathroom were nicely decorated and clean. Bed enormous and super comfortable. Lovely breakfast and all staff were excellent. Would stay again. Ask for sea view.

The hotel looks old from the exterior but the interior and the rooms are very comfortable. We were fortunate to have an Executive Suite on level 1. It turned out to be a large room with a sitting area (sofa bed, coffee table, TV), large bathroom, wardrobe and then a wide enclosed balcony with its own fold up coffee table and four chairs. A stunning view up and down the street and out to see. Plentiful supply of tea, coffee and UHT milk. We had dinner several times in the hotel bar/restaurant and were pleasantly surprised by the menu choice and serving portion. The hotel consists of several buildings merged together, resulting in some rooms reached by taking the lift then half a flight of stairs. Every floor is carpeted so noise is kept to a minimum.

The staff are superb.

Excellent hotel staff excellent spotless

Excellent hotel great location staff friendly and helpful can’t fault them nice breakfast excellent room

Very helpful reservation team, had a few queries that were dealt with very easily. The executive suite we had on the 2nd floor was really good, very clean, comfortable 4 poster bed, quiet with an amazing view across the sea from the enclosed balcony. Great air conditioning, very useful on the hot weekend when we stayed. The staff on the desk were friendly & helpful. The one thing that really let the hotel down was the dining experience. The self-service breakfast was very poorly staffed, the food was ok but on both mornings some of the items were cold as the hotplates, on which the tins were laid, were virtually cold. Plates had to be requested when the initial pile had been used & they were brought out cold, so eating cool beans, sausage & bacon from a cold plate wasn't the best experience. The following morning most items were not hot, however we put them on our cold plates & then had to wait for new eggs to be brought from the kitchen. They were hot but by the time they arrived the rest had got colder!! We did like the self-service drink machine with a good choice of hot drinks. Small choice of breakfast cereals so for anyone wanting a continental breakfast there wasn't anything apart from a choice of 4 cereals, fruit juice & toast & jam. Just to mention a super place for cake & coffee/hot choc, ices, cold drinks can be found at the end of Victoria Parade, go out of the front door of the hotel, turn left & walk for less than1/2 mile through the gates to the lovely park to find ALISON'S SEA VIEW CAFE. A great selection of home made cakes! (Not open for a couple of months in the winter.)

This is a really beautiful hotel in a great location. The Victorian architecture is very appealing and the hotel has been nicely done up so that the interior and amenities are modern but the hotel still retains its period charms. We had one of the suites which had stunning sea views. What a view to wake up to! The 4 poster bead was also extremely comfortable and I slept really well. The room was well equipped with a fridge, smart tv and tea/coffee facilities. The hotel is ideally located on the clifftop overlooking the sea. The beach is only a short walk away and easy to access via steps ( 5 mins and you are on the beach). The restaurant and bar are good and we had an enjoyable couple of dinners in the restaurant. The Indian cuisine in particular was great. We enjoyed the live music on the Friday night too. We really enjoyed our stay snd will definitely return. Many thanks!

Pleasantly surprised- good location, rooms were spacious and staff friendly and good
