The Falstaff Ramsgate

The Falstaff is a combined hotel, cafe and bookshop situated above Ramsgate harbour. It offers breakfasts and lunch and is open for drinks on some evenings. There is a corner grocery shop opposite, along with a pub, and it is a short level walk to a high street. Good restaurants are around a 150 metre walk away. It is dog-friendly, although there is a charge for pets. The room we stayed in has a recently refurbished bathroom with a big bath and walk-in shower. The shower was powerful with plenty of hot water. The staff were friendly and helpful and the breakfasts very good and reasonably priced. The car park is about 80 metres around the corner, so bring an umbrella if it is raining. Car parking is reasonably priced. An unexpected bonus was live traditional music on the Friday evening with a great atmosphere in the bar. Situated in the old town it has a very arty vibe.

Nowadays a 4' 6" bed is a little on the small side. It was quite comfortable but a little cramped for two. The room (5), is about 25 steps up, which may present a problem for those with mobility problems. We did have someone help on arrival though. Hanging space for clothes in the room is not plentiful, which is compensated for by a large chest of drawers. One thing that I would suggest is that it would be a better arrival experience to be settled in before addressing additional charges. The other suggestion is to be able to manually control the light in the space between the bedroom and bathroom as this lights up the bedroom at night if the door is opened.

Our room was exceptional, plenty of tea coffee and biscuits. Breakfast was fresh cooked, fantastically priced and plenty of it. Staff were all fantastic. Parking was good.

Nothing

The staff were absolutely lovely and went above and beyond. Love the feel of the place, so homely and inviting.

Could do with a paint freshen up in the room as it looked a bit tired.

Easy to find. Car park at rear. Nice book shop. Good breakfast. Croissants were really tasty. Friendly staff.

Room not serviced during stay. Kettle a bit awkward. Additional charge for car park. Design of bed side tables lead to cup slipping off. No towel/ coat hooks.
