Guest Reviews
- Brian (8/5): - Absolutely beautiful hotel right next to the beach.The room we had was very clean and well laid out with everything you would need during your stay. The staff are polite and friendly. The buffet breakfast was lovely with a wide selection. We would highly recommend staying here. They have a very small carpark and it was full at the time. We had to spend £20.00 to park outside the Hotel. We definitely will be returning.
- Sara (8/5): Cute hitel with beautiful views - Fab location on the beach in beautiful Whitstable, relaxing stay with friendly staff. Nothing not to like, but our room was quite small and very warm, on a hot day.
- Nikki (9/5): -
- michelle (10/5): -
- Ceri (8/5): -
- Jane (10/5): Fantastic stay ! - The hotel is in a fantastic location, exceptional value for money with the breakfast included. Staff are very professional and friendly throughout the hotel.
- Przemysław (10/5): Wspaniałe miejsce. Piękne i spokojne. Pyszne lokalne jedzenie. - Lokalizacja i widok z okna. Nic.
- Gout L (8/5): Super emplacement près de la plage de Whitstable. - Nous logions dans l'appartement familial détaché de l'hotel (mais à 1 minute à pied). L'appartement semble sorti des années '70, cela a un côté très charmant, et il est de plus très spacieux (3 chambres). La vue arrière donne sur le château et à l'avant il est possible de voir la mer. La cuisine est bien équipée. Nous avons apprécié la place de parking sécurisée a côté de l'appartement. L'accueil de l'hôtel est professionnel et le buffet du petit déjeuner est exceptionnel. A côté du charme de l'appartement vintage, le plus embêtant a été l'odeur de vieux tabac (logement anciennement fumeur ou de mazout?) que l'hotel essaie de masquer par des diffuseurs de parfums assez agressifs. De plus les équipements sont anciens: douche peut confortable, moquettes propres mais ayant vécu...
- CHRIS (6/5): Good seaside hotel with fun atmosphere and good food.Be ready however to tackle the hassle of parking your car! - The location overlooking the sea.Also we had the room with a balcony so was able to sit outside overlooking the sea and beach.Liked the buzz with the bar and restaurant.The restaurant was good ,with varied choice of food, well cooked and good value. The staff in the restaurant both for dinner and breakfast were very helpful and efficient. Some of the staff were very unhelpful.The reception when we arrived couldn’t give us any advice where we could park, when the parking at the hotel was full.They claimed they didn’t know about the pay and display parking at the front, nor about any parking that would be free. The person cleaning the room kept altering the fridge thermostat, even when asked to leave it set to be maximum cold.They suggested that the fridge was to keep only the water chilled and not to keep anything cold that we bought.
- STEVEN (9/5): -
- Stephen (10/5): Very pleasant and a very good breakfast 👍 - Right by the beach an in a good location Nothing
- Anastasia (10/5): -
- Gaye Louise (10/5): Great hotel right on the beach front - Excellent experience from the friendly greeting at reception till when we left after a fantastic breakfast! Not my first time there & it will not be my last! Nothing
- Gerritjan (9/5): -
- Nicola (8/5): Great Hotel, great location & lovely staff. - Just off the beach, walking distance to where our wedding was. Which was in the gardens of Whitstable Castle. Minutes from the town centre. Which is lovely. Very sweet staff, great breakie. Our room was tiny, I had forgotten how tiny a dble bed is !!!l Totally my fault our room was tiny and we were booked in for 3 nights. A dble bed is just too small! But that was all my fault for not booking a king!!! They sweetly offered us a much larger room for the last night but by that time we just couldn’t be bothered to move. Very sweet of them to offer!
- Julie (7/5): - The self contained unit was great for our group. The outdated decor, furnishings and china added wonderfully to the ambiance of our stay. Breakfast was good. Location was good to walk along the beach into the town.
- Claire (10/5): -
- K445XTjanetk (8/5): 1 night stay - I recommend getting to the hotel for 1pm on check in day or you may not get a parking space at the hotel. Room not available till 3. Great breakfast .. small room
- Vix (9/5): Perfect stay for a getaway! - Lovely property, great bar, close to the beach and a 5 minute walk into town. Good breakfast and Dinner, the chef is amazing. Super friendly staff! Expensive for what it is. Rooms are small for the price.
- Nina (8/5): -
- Peter (8/5): -
- nicole (7/5): Stay was ok - Location Bed & pillows in the room uncomfortable
- roy (8/5): great location on the seafront - Room was good and comfortable. Breakfast was very good except for fried eggs which do not work if they are say on a hot plate. They need to be cooked to order and I thought that on our last visit they were, maybe not.
- Chris (10/5): Totally relaxed in Whitstable - Lovely hotel and staff. Location was fantastic.
- Karen (10/5): I would not stay anywhere else while this hotel is here. - Family room in main hotel with comfy Superking and a single bed. Single bed in an area affiording some privacy for granddaughter. Food Child friendly Great furnishings. Clean. Good bathrooms. Good last minute deals for visiting family nearby at short notice and short breaks Lots of stairs so some may find it hard to manage the top floor access.
- Michael (8/5): Good but glad it was only 4 nights in that cramped room - Very good breakfast Staff very friendly ad helpful The room we were given, no 8, was far too small to be a double, The only space for clothes was five hangers, no drawers, and nowhere to put suitcases. it was very difficult moving round the room. The bathroom would have been much better if the bath were removed - it was undersized, It would enable a better shower to be installed, the toilet roll holder to be positioned higher and the towel rail to be better placed, I had to stand on tip toe to put my towel on it.
- gilly3jc (10/5): The best hotel in Whitstable, great staff, great location, great food - Just spent the weekend at this wonderful sea front hotel. The staff are so very friendly and welcoming, the rooms are immaculate so clean. Many overlooking the sea, a short walk along the sea front to the harbour. Breakfast has lots of choices with a chef constantly cooking fresh eggs. Parking if you arrive by 1pm at the hotel. This is our third visit and know there will be many more. Thank you for your personal kindness with a situation that arose before our visit, very compassionate of you all. We will be back.!

- green91 (6/5): Room 16 is advertised as luxury sea view on the 2nd floor but it’s small and needs redecorating - Room 16 is advertised as luxury but it’s small with a small double bed. The sea view is great and it’s very quiet at night but it has peeling paint in the bathroom and the bedroom walls are covered in marks and scratches that need redecorating. Lovely cooked breakfast, could do with some additional fresh fruit alternatives

- Karen (9/5): -

- Sally (8/5): A lovely seaside escape - Ideal position on the seafront. Bright clean rooms Great breakfast

- Stewart (9/5): - Friendly atmosphere, conveniently located for the town etc. Had on site parking. Nothing
- Jason (10/5): -
- Kalariya (10/5): -
- Jessica (8/5): - L’appartamento che ci è stato dato era molto ampio e comodo, anche se avrebbe bisogno di un lieve ammodernamento. Lo staff è stato cortese e la colazione inclusa al mattino decisamente buona e abbondante. La posizione è fantastica, direttamente sul mare.
- Marco (7/5): Leuk verblijf voor één nacht - Leuke plek, op loopafstand van de hoofdstraat Het is gedateerd, maar dat heeft wel wat
- Donna (9/5): -
- JOHN (8/5): - A simple unpretentious hotel. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. We will be going again.
- Klára (9/5): -
- BRIDGET (9/5): Lovely, relaxing hotel in great location on seafront - Great location so close to the beach. We loved sitting out on the balcony of our sea view room. All the staff were friendly and helpful and we liked the general relaxed atmosphere of the hotel. Clean and nicely decorated in contemporary style. The room was a little small with space enough only for standard size double bed and no inside sitting space. Dressing gowns would have been a nice touch for comfort after showering.
- Bethan (9/5): - Sea view, great breakfast
- CHRIS (7/5): Good buzzy hotel, wonderfuly set overlooking the coast, with good bar and restaurant. - The location and the general buzz.We had the rooms with balconies which were excellent, overlooking the beach and sea. The bar was good as was the restaurant.Very good oysters, king prawns and burgers. The parking was a nightmare.They have some parking at the back, but if that was full, you had to drive around to find on street parking or pay and display.The pay and display wasn’t easy to use.The reception staff weren’t very helpful.They claimed they knew nothing about the pay and display. The quality of the breakfast could have been better.Better quality yogurt, perhaps yogurt pots, better fruit ,berry compote, apricots or prunes soaked in fruit juice.Better bread for the toaster and some better fresh bread.They have some good sourdough bread in the evening which could be served at breakfast.
- BARBARA (9/5): We enjoyed our one night visit and will definitely book again. - The location is perfect. It was very clean and has been updated with the decor. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We managed to get a parking space at the back of the hotel. Breakfast was very good.. Altogether very good value for money. Would definitely visit again. The stairs, but it is an old building!!!
- Kathryn (10/5): A lovely stay by the seaside - Room was spotless small but had everything we needed well appointed. Brilliant water pressure good towels tea and coffee making facilities. Nice bedding
- Pedro (8/5): Overall good and comfortable. - The room was spacious, and had everything we needed, e.g. enough towels, tea and coffee, cups, iron, etc. Everything was clean. I liked also that there was a separate room for my child. It was convenient to have a small fridge to store some of our drinks. Breakfast was really good, the staff serving were very helpful and friendly. I got awake at around 7.30/8am with the loud noise of someone, hotel staff or from cleaning company, outside our window pushing trolleys with dirty laundry. That was unpleasant and annoying.
- Stewart (8/5): very relaxing stay - we had a sea view and were able to park on site. room was on the third floor smallish but comfortable for our stay. would book again for our visit nothing not to likee
- Gisabel (10/5): -
- Amy (8/5): Lovely experience; great location for beachfront stay - Really great location & breakfast was amazing Unclear when booking that the terrace would be overlooked and that the room wasn’t one looking out onto the beach.
- John (8/5): -
- Andrew (10/5): A dream few days! - What wasn't there to like! In no particular order: 1 exceptional service from reception to bar to restaurant. Friendly and helpful and going beyond what you'd normally expect 2 great food with the best chowder I've ever eaten and a fulsome fried breakfast 3 the perfect location right on the sea front, ideal for visiting everything Whitstable has to offer 4 room was stylishly presented and immaculately clean 5 parking around the back Struggling to come up with anything!
- Brian (8/5): Always enjoyed our stays at the continental - The breakfast was lovely, the staff are helpful, room was clean and comfy would reccomend the hotel to friends
- Euge (10/5): Room with a View - The venue is in a perfect location and the service wonderful. Fab dinner and lovely breakfast served with a smile 😃 NA

- James (9/5): -
- Megan (10/5): A great stay! - Breakfast was great, managed to get a parking space behind the hotel which was a bonus. the staff were all great and it just had a really nice vibe about it.
- Smyth (8/5): -
- Val (10/5): A perfect stay with friends. - We went with friends for a night. Our rooms were comfortable- the cheapest option, a small room each couple which was fine for one night. The situation of the hotel was perfect - at the edge of town, with uninterrupted sea views. The hotel was refurbished and re decorated in well chosen subtle colours and felt fresh. The 3 interconnecting dining rooms included an all day cafe and an open kitchen. There were plenty of sofas and dining tables. This area overlooked the sea and was very ambient with beautiful paintings. The colours followed the rest of the hotel and was well thought out from a design point of view. Absolutely calm with a gentle buzz. A lovely addition to Whitstable’s charm. We couldn’t have chosen a better place. Perhaps a lift would be nice!
- paul (10/5): - Great location, friendly staff.Great breakfast aelection
- robert (8/5): - All perfekt !
- James (9/5): -
- Martin (10/5): Clean and Comfortable - Room no 25 was excellent, wood definitely like to say again , all staff were very Professional No everything was excellent
- Conorq (10/5): Cosy hotel by the sea - Lovely hotel by whitstable bay. We really enjoyed our overnight stay. We had a lovely deluxe sea view room with balcony at the frount. Lovely sea view and relaxing to sit outside on balcony with a bottle of bubbly with the sun shinning. Room was comfy, nice double bed, big tv, fridge, tea and coffee, iron and ironing board, binoculars, fan. Small bathroom with shower with Lovely bath products. We headed back to the hotel after food in the evening just in time for the evening music at the bar. Good vibes, great music. We retreated to our room after the music and had a comfortable nights sleep. Breakfast was included in our rate. Nice english breakfast. Service from staff throughout the hotel from frount desk to bar staff very friendly and felt they really wanted you to enjoy your stay. Highly recommend for a stay at the hotel continental if your planning a trip to beautiful Whitstable!
- James (10/5): We had a lovely time here brilliant location - The rooms were lovely the bed was comfortable and the staff was amazing Would be nice to have a lift here apart from that nothing
- Risby (5/5): - Location. View from tge room. Room was small. No room to put your clothes.
- Suzanne (9/5): We would definitely recommend this hotel and would stay here again. - The staff were very friendly. The sea view was great. Overall it was a lovely hotel in a great position and the complimentary breakfast was very nice. There was reduced privacy when using the bathroom in the family room we stayed in, as there are glass panels in the bathroom door. The bed base had obvious signs of wear/damage.
- Janice (10/5): Great hotel, great location. - Clean & comfortable right on the beach. Breakfast very good. Staff excellent. No lift.
- Martin (10/5): - Excellent staff great hotel No lift
- E8938GRruthw (8/5): Penny lodge...70s themed, excellent value - We stayed 1 night in penny lodge. This is a completely separate 3 bed unit behind the main hotel. A quirky, 70s themed lodge. Definitely retro. Down steps for the main hotel for included brilliant breakfast. Fabulous sea views. Actually a little difficult to access. Need some TLC to access the front door from the road and a good tidy up outside. Access from the rear is up lots of steps. Once in, loads of space.. the lodge had everything we needed but I wouldn't call it cosy. It felt a bit neglected. Really good value for money though. Smelt of air fresheners which I dislike but it was clean. It could do with replacing 2 bedroom armchairs as they are torn. Very convenient for Whitstable attractions. Hotel staff were attentive, welcoming and helpful. Nick and I would use this place again. A great base for exploring Kent.
- samantha (10/5): A ideal location for discovering the beautiful charm of Whitstable. - We stayed in Penny Lodge which is an exceptional place. We stepped back in time to the 1970s, absolutely loved the retro style. Nothing, everything about this hotel and location was exceptional.
- mcglynn (9/5): Excellent - Very good Kothing
- Lyn (10/5): - Breakfast was excellent, and good quiet location
- Graham (8/5): A lovely hotel in a great location - The hotel is well kept and designed and finished to a high standard. Very good breakfast in a lovely dining room overlooking the sea front. Well positioned, with just a short, pleasant walk into Whitstable town. There is a frequent bus service along the coast or to Canterbury inland. Car parking can be an issue. Our room (17) was well equipped and clean but very small.

- Neena (5/5): - Staff were very helpful. Beds & pillows were uncomfortable.
- Pam (5/5): It was not great. The first time we stayed was lovely. This room was not good at all. - Close to everything, apart from the train station. The room was small, over looking a roof and side of the car park. Could not open windows fully. The bathrooms floor is raised a little and we kept stabbing our toes from the bedroom to the bathroom.
- 809sabinew (8/5): Lovely roast - Popped in by the off chance on Easter Sunday and had the most delicious roast dinner! Staff were super kind and friendly too. Thank you. Only downfall is no cash accepted. Such a shame.
- Tony (10/5): Lovely stay, pleasant staff and location. - The whole hotel was very presentable and well maintained throughout. Having the bar seating area and restaurant close together created a cosy atmosphere. The quality of the evening menu was excellent as was the breakfast. The stairs were a bit of a challenge for a 78 year old but worth it!
- Ayshe (10/5): - It was clean, comfortable, the staff were friendly and very helpful and the location was lovely. Everything was excellent. We will definitely stay there again 😊 There wasn't anything that we didn't like
