Top The Downs Hotel Reviews

Marine Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good breakfast"

ABode Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were great, clean room. The only issue was limited breakfast ( continental), that was part of room charge , with option to order another hot plate with extra charge ,"

The Seaview Snug

8/10 Good

"The Sea View Snug was really well thought-through as a place to stay - a lot of effort has been put in to make the rooms as comfortable as possible. The apartment was spotlessly clean. The kitchen was well equipped, with everything we needed. Also there are nice touches such as information on the Kent coast area, books, and board games to play. It's a good location near to the harbour area and beach. There is a sea-view from the lounge & kitchen, so it was nice to sit and have a morning coffee looking out. When we return to Whitstable, we'll defintately consider rebooking."

Duke of Cumberland

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay, lovely friendly staff with very nice breakfast. Room was very clean and spacious, would 100% stay again."
