Guest Reviews
- Joseph (10/5): Perfect seafront hostel - it was a wonderful stay. Really nice bunk in the dorm, with a free one on one yoga class in the morning!!!
- Veronica (10/5): - Just perfect!
- Mohamed (10/5): - Beautiful decor, clean and friendly stuff.
- Hà Thi Giang (6/5): - Very big and good room. The bathroom is 5 stars. !!! But there was one big ventilation in front of the room. It was so very noisy that i could not sleep, even I closed all windows and doors. And it was very hot in the room.
- Emiko (8/5): - I went on a Friday when big music event took place, of Manic Street Preachers so there was no taxi or bus available in the afternoon so had to walk over 30 minutes from station in heat. Shower in Room 5 didn't drain properly and no waste busket for paper towel or sanitary goods for female guests. Request for breakfast by what's app didn't work and at 11am only choice was breakfast muffin. That's little disappointing. They are very friendly and property is nice and lounge and cafe and garden were big and relaxing almost facing Margate coast and good for holiday makers as easy to follow the main promenade and find it.
- JIMMY (10/5): - Overall a good stay, a large room with a lovely sea view. The staff were great and accommodating but overpriced.
- Isabel (10/5): - Beautiful view from my room, it’s so close to the beach and restaurants
- CHRISTOPHER (10/5): - Nice, clean, large room, friendly staff, and cool reception, chilling area
- Alan (8/5): Lovely chill stay - Overall good vide and comfortable stay, staff were helpful. The only things that were disappointing were the lighting outside the room. See where the black handle on dark walls. Along with tired bathroom, missing handles on draw beside the bed, and a blow glass unit. These minor comments as please with our stay, was really good, and would gladly stay again.
- Tom (10/5): - Sea views, helpful staff, tidy. Nice decor.
- Julia (2/5): - More like a hostel & NOT a hotel. No basic amenities like tea/ coffee facilities, no tv. The room was the smallest accommodation ever stayed in. Definitely not suitable for 2 adults. View was of the roof. Very expensive hostel not hotel. The website is misleading!!
- Nigel (4/5): Expensive small rooms - I booked a standard sea view room, the photo online is very different to the reality and far too expensive at £146. Room 303 was very small and cramped, "wardrobe" is a rack. Bathroom is small. Only reason I gave 2 stars was because the lady on reception was very pleasant.
- Joyce (8/5): - Dorm room is as shown on the pictures, spacious, has private bathroom. Bed was comfortable, had own storage, bed light, power outlets.
- Graham (10/5): - The Selina was a perfect hotel for us. Awesome room, and great helpful staff. It made our margate stay very memorable, thank you.
- Daryl (10/5): Great place. - I really enjoyed my staff, the staff were amazing, very friendly and welcoming. The room was clean and comfy, I would definitely stay again.
- Clare (10/5): - Lovely staff and nice large family room. The water pressure was a bit strange (going up and down during shower/bath) but otherwise perfect.
- Anne (6/5): - Breakfast was subpar and expensive. Bacon rolls were full of ketchup and eggs seemed to be overcooked or from a packet. No tea or coffee making facilities. There was a kettle but it was hidden away from guests at evenings and weekends. Room not refreshed so ran out of toilet roll.
- Kevin (4/5): - The staff were very friendly The room was very small (box room) with no frills (ie kettle etc) Breakfast was very very limited. It reminded more of a hostel type accommodation than a hotel
- Verified traveler (6/5): Beauty instead of Brains - Room was presented in a nice enough fashion, but was very hot (the electric rads were not even plugged in). The bed was sparse in pillows, lacked a tea service area and even water cups, and a shower that sprayed everywhere. The room was layed out for looks instead of functionality. I don't know if I would stay again. My advice for he hotel is to focus less on the yoga for guests, and ask what the guests truly want for a comfortable stay.
- Joshua (8/5): - Great stay, issue with shower pressure and water was a fluctuating in temperature, not a huge issue! Lovely staff and it was very safe and clean.
- Akash (8/5): - Good
- Mark Anthony (10/5): - All round good service!
- Caroline (10/5): - Staff were lovely. Location was excellent with plenty of free parking. Room & bed were huge with beautiful view. There was a bowl in the room with tea bags & sugar but couldn't find a kettle... Lovely quiet hotel. Would definitely stay there again
- Priscilla (6/5): Lovely but forget about breakfast - We had a lovely room for a 2 night stay. Bright and airy with a sea view. Good linen and comfy bed. Shower was a bit dodgy running hot then cold! Building has a lift to help with luggage but a few steps to the front door. We were able to park out the front for free - bonus! I paid extra to have breakfast but wish I hadn’t! The first morning we went to the break area but couldn’t see anything laid out. It’s a Co-worker area for people working from home and had a coffee shop and bar. We asked about breakfast and were asked what we would like. We said we’d start with a cup of tea. There is no tea & coffee in the room so had missed our wake up cuppa. We sat at the bar whilst other people were served but we had to ask to get information about our breakfast. We were shown a menu and told we could have a pastry and a reheated egg & bacon muffin/roll! We chose the pastry and headed into town for brunch! Didn’t bother the second morning! It’s a lovely hotel and has a welcoming foyer - just a shame about the breakfast and that I’d paid extra expecting a continental breakfast!!
- Correy (10/5): - Amazing stay. Lovely staff. Stunning sea view and extremely affordable.
- Hannah (10/5): Great space - The room was really clean and the bed was comfy. The shower was nice and hot. I have no complaints. The communal area was a great space and the food and drink was great!
- Margaux (10/5): - I loved this place! Selina hotel is a bright and luminous hotel near the tidal pool of Walpole Bay in Margate, only 15min walk from the old town. Our suite was stunning - big, luminous with sea view, cosy modern decor, comfortable. The large living room, terrace, bar and restaurant space make you want to spend a holiday there. Team super chill and friendly. I recommend!
- Barrie (10/5): - The hotel was excellent,
- Timon (4/5): Slow - 50mb/sec internet speed advertised by hotel - this was crucial in our decision to stay there as my wife needed to work. I measured the speed Sunday evening and Monday morning it was circa 14mb/sec.
- Sharon (8/5): Margate gem - Loved our stay in this quirky, friendly hotel. Immaculately clean sea view room ( no Tv but like this) and lovely open airy seating area and garden. Welcome drink was an unexpected bonus. Would return without doubt
- Verified traveler (10/5): Perfect stay! - The hotel was very modern and comfortable. It felt like a cosy coffee shop in the lobby, with a lovely bar on the side. The staff in both the hotel and bar were extremely friendly and the free welcoming drink was a nice added bonus! The room was bright and the bed comfy with a lovely sea view. We will definitely stay here on our next trip to Margate! Thank you for a brilliant night :) x
- Thomas (6/5): - Breakfast options seemed limited, Parking not guaranteed, We were very lucky to get a space when somebody pulled out. Room was clean. Nice big bath towels. Letter sent asking us to register 72 hours before we arrived sounded like we would lose our pre-paid booking if we did not call. I tried to call the number and there was no response or call back. On our tight schedule this was very frustrating.
- John (8/5): - We ordered breakfast on our booking but not available. The staff were very attentive and helpful.
- David (10/5): - Seaview
- Adam (10/5): - The guys were great and our room was excellent with a wonderful sea view.
- Dawn (10/5): - Great hotel in a great location
- Diana (10/5): First hotel trip with dog 🐶 - Great stay hotel was lovely, staff friendly and helpful, my first time away in a hotel with my dog, no problems at all 🙂
- Mayra (10/5): - Selina Margate exceeded my expectations with its warm hospitality and stunning sea views. The staff went above and beyond to ensure a memorable stay, making me feel truly welcome. Perfect for a seaside getaway in Margate. Highly recommended!
- Jill (10/5): - Beautifully situated and a warm welcoming interior. The staff were friendly and helpful. Great room too.
- Janet (8/5): - Enjoyed our stay at Selina. A really nice hotel, full of character and the staff are so friendly.There are cafes and shops nearby and within easy reach of Margate promenade and the beach. Would definately return.
- Verified traveler (8/5): Amazing hotel - lacking cleanliness - Modern room, nice staff, easy check in/ checkout. Clean beds but we found cigarette buts on the balcony, sand/dirt on the floor (especially the bathroom!), hair, dust and unchanged bin bags. However it was a very nice hotel!
- Shelley (10/5): Lovely place to stay - This is a little gem on the edge of Margate, but still close enough to walk to the main town or a short taxi ride. Close to Walpole Tidal Pool. Lovely communal space downstairs and the the rooms were clean and spacious. They make amazing toasties and coffee downstairs in the morning. Would have liked a kettle in the room, and next time will ask not to be in a room next to the lift, but otherwise it was fab.
- Abi (8/5): - Very nice hotel. Lovely ground floor, reception with coffee and hot- desking. As there's no TV, we took our iPad which helped as l have 2 small children. There's a playground nearby which was good and the sea overlooks the hotel. There are shops and restaurants on the road behind and parrell which is convenient. We walked into town about 20 minutes and there's a lot to entertain the kids, including skating, Margate Cave and Turner museum which is free. In all, we enjoyed our stay, some good weather for April, l think the view would be even more picturesque in the summer.
- david (8/5): - A very warm reception area and the girl on the desk was very friendly and super helpful. The night staff were also. No tea/ coffee in the room was disappointing but other than that it was a good budget hotel.
- Chloe (10/5): - The atmosphere is just so amazing
- Claire (8/5): - Fantastic staff and loved decor of the room. Biggest bed ever slept in!! Just a couple of things to mention, would have been nice to have more than 2 pillows, stock up on more soap and loo roll in the room and would have been nice to have the room serviced which is what you have listed on Expedia. Overall we loved our stay and would definitely be staying again!
- Matty Cecilia (10/5): Amazing - Really good location, cleanliness, staff ver helpful and friendly. I would recommend it for
- Socolovici (10/5): quick escape - very very friendly staff! The room was cleanish... could be better. no cups or gases but clean sheets nice warm and cozy room.
- Timothy (8/5): - Our room was extremely small, but we liked everything else here, especially the comforts of the foyer and dining area...
- Matt (4/5): - The bed was comfortable. We would like a reund as my wife hurt her elbow on a bead edge sticky out or the tiling. The shower eas dirty uncleaned soap scum and the room was cold on entry. Staff were unfriendly.
