Lovely staycation

Staff were professional, friendly and very helpful at all times. Our 1-night stay was lovely, room very well kept and the pantry was a bonus. Lovely cocktail drinks on rooftop, helped by an amazing summers day. Brilliant location and very much enjoyed our lunch on the terrace overlooking the beach.

Fantastic Guesthouse, great location

Hi we stayed at Guesthouse 42 for one night as we were in Margate for a concert in Dreamland. This Guesthouse is in a brilliant location for everything in Margate. The rooftop bar gives an impressive view of the beach and harbor. The rooms are very well presented with a fridge, hair dryers, clothes steamer, tea and coffee machines, safe etc. Complimentary toiletries smell great. There is off site secure parking available for £20 , this needs to be pre booked. If you're feeling peckish there's a small pantry on the second floor which has pick and mix sweets, cakes, cold drinks, fruit etc which is all complimentary 24 hours a day. Breakfast is served in the ground floor restaurant again with great views of the beach and harbor. Thoroughly recommend this place and will definitely stay here again.

The Most Beautiful Birthday Solo Trip

I came to Margate for an overnight solo birthday trip and I had the most wonderful time at No 42 by Guesthouse (Margate). The room was gorgeous - spacious, airy, well designed and with a balcony overlooking the beach that seats two people comfortably. There are lots of little amenities in the room that make your stay comfortable as well as supporting local businesses and artists, and the pantry is an excellent touch if you're feeling snacky. Dinner was all booked up by the time I checked in as it was a Sunday and everything closes a bit earlier but I got an excellent recommendation from the staff for the restaurant next door which was amazing. Breakfast in the morning was delicious (you can eat overlooking the sea) and I also tried a treatment the spa which was great (they give you a sample of the oil they use in your massage which was a lovely touch). I'd definitely return.

A Really Heartwarming Hotel

I always travel alone and Margate was a random pick for the final day of my vacation. But I was truly impressed by the exceptional warmth and hospitality of the staff. They provided me with patient and detailed assistance, whether it was regarding my accommodation inquiries or any help I needed throughout my stay. Their professionalism and genuine service made me feel truly at home. The room itself was cozy, impeccably clean, and exuded a sense of comfort. What stood out were the thoughtful details, like the vinyl record player and speakers, which added a unique touch to the ambiance. But the real showstopper was the breathtaking ocean view from my window. The vast expanse of the sea, glistening under the sun, provided a magnificent backdrop that made my day start with a touch of tranquility. I really look forward to returning and reuniting with that incredible view once again.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautifully located with spectacular views over the beach. The roof top terrace is magnificent - more Mediterranean than the English Channel! The rooms are very stylish, the breakfast and evening meal are delicious. And most importantly, the staff are super helpful and friendly. I have stayed for pleasure and work in many hotels worldwide and this one ranks very highly!

10/10 Exceptional

A Gem of a treat.

Wonderful stay in a quirky questhouse. Our luggage was picked iup at the train station in their luggage bike (by the owner!)and delivered to our room so we could enjoy fish and chips on the beach at the Kiosk (very nice) and visit the Turner Art Centre before check in. Easy short walk after our stay with luggage to the station. We were not in a sea facing room but enjoyed breakfasts in the beautiful Pearly Cow restaurant and visited the top floor bar. The room was very large and stunningly decorated. Bathroom was quite separate with the best shower she has ever had according to my sister while I luxuriated in the bath. Top quality bathroom lotions. Very laid back vibe. And The Pantry, complimentary, where we couldn't resist popping out for fudge, sweets, beautiful cakes, ice cream and cold drinks. A Gem of a Guesthouse. 💕

Exceptional little hotel

Wonderful little hotel. I normally shy away from smaller hotels and go for the big name brands, but this hotel had good reviews and there were limited options in Margate. What a revelation. It’s a fabulous hotel. Every staff member I spoke to was friendly and welcoming. The bed was incredibly comfortable and they had thought of everything. I loved the little pantry for snacks, the radio and record players were nice touches and the robe and slippers are always welcome. The view was great too. Breakfast was delicious. I will definitely be back if I’m sent to Margate again with work or for a mini break

10/10 Exceptional

The room was EVERYTHING. Luxury, every tiny detail was thought out. From the cocktails in the mini-bar, to the locally made bath salts. This really was a dream come true. The only thing I would say is for a luxury hotel with a luxury room, the mindset of the management doesn't match. There isn't really any flexibility on small things / ability to accomodate in the way you might expect from a hotel of this standard. For example we wanted to check out 45 mins later and there wasn;t a booking immediately after us - but could not be accomodated without paying. We wanted a different kind of coffee, but you need to pay extra for certain coffees.. Either way HIGHLY recommended.
