Guest Reviews

- Anthony (9/5): -
- David (9/5): - Fantastic location with wonderful views of the sea . Very spacious and extremely comfortable bed . The breakfast was great and the staff were friendly and attentive
- STEPHANIE (10/5): Exceptional! - This was a fantastic stay for us. A great hotel with amazing staff. Lots of very special and unique touches; Stay here and you will find outt! Nothing!
- Tracey (8/5): Great - Style No kitchen in evening and balcony was not open for sitting on while we were there as was being repaired
- Kathleen (10/5): -
- Alice (10/5): -
- Kayleigh (9/5): -
- Katrien (9/5): Lovely place - We spent three nights at No42 and enjoyed our stay. The guesthouse is perfectly located for exploring Margate, and the parking in a nearby side street is a real bonus. We were welcomed warmly from the moment we arrived. Our room, complete with a private terrace and sea views, was everything we hoped for: spacious, clean, and very comfortable. The location also makes it easy to combine your stay with a day trip to London, as the train station is just a short walk away. We visited in late April/early May, when Margate is still relatively quiet: a great time to explore at a relaxed pace. That said, one sunny Saturday gave us a glimpse of what's to come: the beach and the old town were buzzing with people, and it was already quite lively. We can only imagine how busy it gets in peak summer, so if you prefer a quieter experience, an off-season visit might be the way to go. We didn't get around to trying the spa this time but that's a great excuse to come back! Highly recommended.
- Rachael (9/5): -
- James (9/5): Really good stay in a really good hotel. - Great location in Margate… stylish, comfortable small hotel that definitely delivers on luxury. Well curated bedrooms, again stylishly appointed with everything you need and more. Bathroom was super clean and had an amazing shower. All the staff we came in to contact with were professional and friendly. The only thing that might have been nice to experience would have been to have a sunset drink in the rooftop bar but unfortunately it wasn’t open for guests when we stayed. This seemed a little strange as the weather was glorious. I did venture up there one afternoon but the only guests up there were the pigeons !!
- Robert (10/5): Excellent accomadation ,great staff fantastic atmostphere - The room was perfect over looking the town and sea. very comftable bed and bedding and was everything i expected. Service in the restraunt and bar was excelent and all the staff could not be more helpfull. We will be returning soon. There was nothing at all to complain about
- lisa (9/5): - Amazing sweets ( my granddaughter says;) outside our bedroom which was beautifully decorated. The bed was super comfy and there is a lovely bright room to have breakfast and look out at the sea
- Cristina (10/5): Comfy, cozy in the perfect location. - The perfect location, really lovely decor, very comfortable room, friendly and helpful staff.
- Turner (10/5): -
- Mark (9/5): Lovely hotel great rooms and amazing deco -
- Konstantinos (6/5): Average for the price point - Well located, with comfortable fabrics in the rooms. I had never been asked to book a breakfast slot, it added unnecessary formality to the holiday. Further, asking for a small extension of 30 min on the checkout and not getting a kind reminder that there's a small grace period anyway added further unnecessary formality. Seemed a relaxed and luxurious place, it's just OK.
- Lucy (10/5): A perfect mini escape. - The bed was the comfiest bed ever! The room was heavenly and the food was exceptional. We loved the sweet station!
- Ainslie (10/5): -
- Rachel (10/5): Look forward to staying again - Spacious, clean, great location, nice staff
- Ann (10/5): -
- Nicholas (10/5): -
- Sarah (8/5): - Comfortable room, great to have access to the pantry for snacks and central location. A shame the in house restaurant wasn't open for dinner that evening
- Trisha (8/5): Excellent place to stay for a comfy and indulgent treat. Close to everything. - Lovely well considered layout. Comfy beds and bathroom mirrors positioned perfectly. Love the free pantry with great cake and crisp selection. Sweets too! Dining room closed but guess it’s low season
- Charlotte (10/5): -
- Preetika (10/5): Special stay in a great location - Location was great. The hotel was really special, cool design and the bar/pantry was excellent. Staff make you feel really welcome and are accommodating to special requests. Nothing, we would stay again and recommend to family/friends
- Jason (9/5): - Good vibes, relaxed and calming Pillows a bit lifeless!
- Jacqueline (9/5): Enjoyable - Breakfast excellent catered for the dog, location excellent, friendly helpful staff, pantry great idea The restaurant wasn’t open in the evening luckily next door was open
- Karen (8/5): -
- Karin (10/5): It couldn’t have been more perfect - Everything! The reception and bar area, the room ❤️ -
- Kim (9/5): Lovely - Thoughtfully decorated.. very comfy bed, quiet and v clean. Sadly the restaurant wasn’t open the night I stayed.
- Lance (10/5): -
- Natasja (9/5): Highly recommend - Lovely done rooms and central pantry is a great idea. View from restaurant over the beach is gorgeous We changed rooms, without hassle, as AC on 3 rd floor is noisy
- Lou (10/5): -
- Lucy (10/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): -
- benjamin (10/5): Overall amazing stay ! - Amazing features. Bed was uncomfortable
- Sue Black (9/5): -
- catherine (9/5): -
- James (10/5): Amazing place with those important little extras - Amazing attention to detail The parking was 25% of the room rate and that’s rip off for it to be behind a gate in an open area. They need to rethink this strategy
- Bryan (9/5): -
- Lorraine (10/5): A gem of a hotel - Lovely friendly hotel with fantastic rooms and facilities - could not fault. Breakfast was particularly good and the addition of a well stocked pantry outside our room was fabulous! Nothing really
- Valentina (9/5): - Beautiful room with everything you need and more.
- Fiona (10/5): Blissful much needed restful respite from usual madcap pace of life - This property is wonderful a great surprise to find such comfort and attention to detail Nothing not to like
- Thalia (10/5): -
- Drew (7/5): -
- Valerie (9/5): -
- Izzy (10/5): - The perfect place to escape London town. We stayed for one night to see what Margate has to offer. Everything about the hotel adds to the experience from the staff, room decor to the view of the sea whilst you eat breakfast. The hotel had a number of unique offerings that we loved such as the pantry and the record player with the ability to swap the records in your room out for others. We can't wait to come back and try out the rooftop bar once the warmer weather arrives. Nothing, we loved it all
- Joanna (10/5): Great break with a welcome addition of sunshine. - Style, comfort, atmosphere.
- Angela (8/5): - The mattress was far too soft and sunken
- timothy (9/5): -
- Julie (9/5): Good vibes - Great atmosphere, friendly staff, little details like record player and pantry
- Terteel (8/5): -
- Chris (9/5): A fabulous place to base yourself in Margate. - Loved the location - easy to get anywhere; loved the magnificent views from our 2nd floor room, and from the Pearly Cow at breakfast; loved the turntable and LPs, and the generous pantry and refreshments in the room. Felt cossetted and well looked after. Didn't love the virtually invisible heating controls (the low-level lighting didn't help) - could have done with an illustrated how-to in the welcome pack; didn't love all of breakfast, though the coffee and poached egg were excellent; and just wondered why no tissues or shower cap in the otherwise excellent bathroom.
- juliet (10/5): -
- Jane (9/5): Gorgeous hotel - Lovely, cosy rooms. Sweet treats/the pantry was a lovely addition. I booked the restaurant in advance but was informed on the day that it was closed.
- Clare (10/5): Relaxing break - Amazing hotel with brilliant staff. Would definitely recommend and stay again The spa treatments were rather expensive
- Bertie (10/5): -
- Chau (10/5): -
- Melissa (10/5): -
- Margot (9/5): Amazing stay - All the design details in the rooms and the practical details - very well thought out. The record player is a bonus.
- Katie (9/5): Excellent location, gorgeous decor, cozy vibe, great staff. -
- Karen (8/5): -
- John (4/5): -
- Susannah (10/5): A perfect place to stay in Margate. - A fabulous location. Beautiful hotel. Lovely staff. Been before. Will come again. Nothing.
- Dorté (10/5): - Gorgeous hotel 🙏
- nicola (10/5): I would recommend - Everything The second room they gave me
- Joanne (10/5): Hidden Gem In Margate - Stunning Hotel..Wonderful Atmosphere & Ameneties...Complimentary Pantry & Record Player Are An Absolute Delight Nothing
- Ian (9/5): Really cool place to stay. - Cool design, comfortable throughout. Struggled a little with heat control - But I’m a tech Luddite.
- ronald (7/5): Avoid the bathroom!! - The staff! The bathroom was useless! The high sided roll top bath - a dream for Instagram - but a nightmare to try to use! Impossible to get in and out of to shower curtain which- with a NYLON shower curtain which simply flooded the bathroom and corridor outside leaving the smell of wet rush matting. No hand shower just to be able to use the bath. An interior designer’s fantasy - but fails to function.
- Andrianos (10/5): Exceptional rooms and staff! Would highly recommend!! - The place is beautiful, warm interiors and staff were very friendly and accommodating! Definitely recommend!
- Sue (10/5): Excellent, highly recommend - This is a fabulous hotel. It has amazing views and is a great spot to have a drink/dinner and look at the ocean. The room was big, with a big, full bathroom. Each floor has a wonderful pantry where guests can help themselves to snacks - cakes, crisps, fun old fashioned lollies. Wonderful.
- William (9/5): -
- Victoria (8/5): Nice but too expensive for the offer - The staff were fabulous, especially Joe who I believe was the night manager. The bed was possibly the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The roll top bath was lovely, and the shower had amazing power. The large windows were perfect to view the beautiful sands. Fresh milk was provided without asking but was not replaced or topped up. Water was provided on my second day but not on the first. The steak dinner was good, but the accompanying salad and tiramisu were disappointing. The room was very clean but because of some issues with the refresh I think the housekeeping was a bit hit & miss. I did not understand the suites were not actually in the hotel. I wouldn’t stay there again as a solo female traveler because of that. Although overall I enjoyed my stay, I felt there were too many small issues (such as waiting hours for my safe to be available) for the price charged. The service I am afraid needs to be better.

- Irons (8/5): - The quaint touches Refreshments and food were very expensive
- Anthony -Jones (9/5): A wonderful oasis of beautiful decor and a lovely welcoming atmosphere. - Fabulous room overlooking the sea. Wonderful decor all over. Friendly, helpful and attentive staff. Great touches re the sweets and cakes trolly and records and player in each room. Paying £25 to park.
- Brendan (9/5): -
- Jones (10/5): a perfectly located, beautiful hotel stay - This hotel was beautiful. The staff at the hotel were all lovely and helpful too. I stayed in a sea view room and it was so lovely as it directly over looked the sea and had a balcony. Perfect for a morning coffee. The room was very clean and the bed was super comfy. The bathroom was really nice too and even though it was a waterfall shower, the pressure was perfect! There was also a cute pantry with lots of nice treats to help yourself too. The cake was incredible. Great coffee in the bar area too :) All in all, I would highly recommend this hotel and would love to stay again. It's close to some nice restaurants and if you're there on a Tuesday, make sure to pop into the Fez pub next door to enjoy the local ukulele group practice. If i reaaaalllly had to nit pick, I would have liked a firmer pillow but that's just preference :) I really couldn't fault the hotel :)
- Clare (8/5): Gorgeous hotel, would stay again - Beautifully decorated, lovely rooms, mostly good service, great pantry space with snacks, lovely rooms. Slightly patchy service at breakfast but also some great service behind the front desk. Would happily recommend.
- Louise (10/5): Fantastic architecturally preserved hotel... relaxing and edgy. Loved staying here. - Loved the location and the ambiance; beautiful architecturally preserved boutique hotel which felt very cosy and welcoming. Staff were great. Relaxing and edgy at the same time. The parking was an issue; we were asked if we needed to reserve a parking spot prior to coming and when we enquired the hotel was full so we had to spend time moving the car as only 2 hour parking slots allowed at the nearby car parks.
- Sarah (10/5): - Great stay. Lovely hotel and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.
- Chloe (10/5): -
- Cressida (4/5): -
- Catherine (10/5): Cosy, chic and fun - we’ll be back! - The friendliest welcome, stylish, cosy rooms and an excellent pantry for midnight munchies. The record players and vinyl selection were a great touch as well.
