Whitstable

We booked a 2-night seaside stay at the Premier Inn Whitstable, Kent. The hotel is strategically located just outside Whitstable town centre, with bus stops directly outside the hotel for travel to/from Whitstable and...Canterbury, Faversham, and Margate. Note: senior ‘Freedom’ passes from London are valid on the buses !! The hotel has a friendly reception and secure entry & exit to the rooms. The rooms are very spacious (with a spare single bed), large TV, tea/coffee making, and good en-suite bathroom (with rain-shower over the bath) AND the ‘famously-advertised’ super-comfortable double bed with ample additional bedding. We had a room on the 1st floor and had no noise interruptions from any of the rooms or corridors. The optional breakfast is in an adjacent dining-room building – via a short 2 minute walk – with buffet (fresh fruit/juice, cereals, toast/croissants/muffins, tea/coffee) and cooked food options. For the latter, we chose the ‘full English’ comprising #2 poached eggs & bacon, black pudding, tomato, mushrooms. sausage and baked beans…..far better prepared than many 5-star hotels we’ve stayed at !! Note: Kids eat free. The only downside [actually more ‘area for improvement’ than downside] was the weak water pressure in the shower…that’s all !! We would highly-recommend the Premier Inn for anyone wanting to explore Whitstable [for scrumptious oysters, crab, fish & meats; boutique shops; boat trips etc.] or Canterbury [Cathedral, Christmas markets, shopping etc.].

Does the job, somewhere to stay. Parking good. Place is shabby and not best kept. The rooms and overall appearance is in need of a make over Free parking Plenty of tea coffee sachets Restaurant closed but the hotel is using it. Breakfast is very good but for an evening meal don't bother.

Stayed for one night. Room was spotless. This Premier Inn is perfect if visiting Whitstable, 20min walk into town no hassle of parking rooms spotless lovely breakfast. Be aware that walking back may be an issue uphill all the way.

Our room had vomit from the previous room user on the outside of the toilet bowl,our evening meal didn’t turn up after 1 hour and 45 minutes,the resturant was 15 minutes late opening to begin with..the manger didn’t even say sorry and just sat in her chair swinging and rolling her eyes,Breakfast was awful as well,orders wrong and when food arrived it was cold and hardly cooked at all..so all in all a terrible visit and I definitely will not recommend going there or paying for the dire food..an awful experience for me and my family.

We stayed in room one, which has the unfortunate position of being next to the door to the stairs, so we were disturbed several times throughout the night with this banging. The trip however was saved by the service we received from Crystal in the restaurant. She was cheerful, helpful and extremely professional going out of her way to help us. We had a great breakfast, got lots of tips of where to park and visit in Whitstable she really was a star. Great service made up for disappointing nights sleep!

This hotel provides a fantastic experience with its clean, spacious rooms and attentive staff. The location is perfect for exploring the city, and the on-site restaurant serves delicious meals. Great value for money—highly recommend for both business and leisure trips!
