Lovely and cosy hotel right by the seaside. The room has everything you could want-tea, coffee, complimentary cookies, luxurious bath, comfortable bed. The staff are lovely and very welcoming. The hotel is in a great location and feels very high end, but is quite reasonably priced. The only negative is that the walls are quite thin, so you can hear everything from the room next-door. However, they provide complimentary ear plugs and I had a very restful night at this hotel. I would happily stay at this hotel again in the future.

The staff here are peerless . We were warmly welcomed and given the directions to our room without fuss or superfluous information . The room was warm and tastefully (and presumably expensively) appointed if a tad anonymous . …

The Fort Road Hotel decor is divine everywhere you look. |Room-|We stayed in no.7 room which was on the second floor. The Lift is super slow but you can take the stairs. The room was a decent size for two people. …

The Fort Rd Hotel hosted our wedding reception and really exceeded our expectations in every way.....we already knew the building itself would be a very stylish and beautiful space for our big day, but we could not have anticipated the warmth and excellent service from the staff team from start to finish! The food we already knew was excellent, but we did not anticipate it remaining so exceptional despite catering for the large number guests. The day went brilliantly, Fred and his team managed everything smoothly - even down to consoling our cake maker when our chocolate wedding cake had melted in her car! Hotel staff consoled her and she really appreciated their help and support. The day could honestly not have gone any better, we will remember the warmth and professionalism of the Fort Road for years to come and will come back....maybe for our anniversary!Anyone considering a Margate wedding? We thoroughly recommend this beautiful and friendly venue ❤️
