Went in for breakfast at the weekend and it was delicious. Myself, my mum & sisters all had something different & can not fault the food or service. Great value for money, nice, comfort place. We had avo on toast with eggs, vegan breakfast, veggie breakfast and the small English breakfast. Fresh & tasty. Will be back :-)

After a not so great drive down from London we were delighted to find we were staying in such a lovely little hotel with friendly and efficient staff. Our room was very nice too and we felt as though we lived there after a few hours! Would recommend to anyone seeking a short break in Ramsgate.

The Falstaff is a very charming inn with a quaint local feel, in a perfect location just a minute's walk up from the marina on the English Channel. Having been here several times, we've always found it to be the perfect place to stop in for a wonderful English breakfast 😋 Marzena is always on hand with a bright smile of warm hospitality and attention to every detail, which makes locals and travelers alike feel welcome and comfortable. Whether our visit is for one of their entertainment events, a delicious meal, or delightful cocktails, we always enjoy the perfect guest experience here. The Falstaff truly is a must do when in Ramsgate!

Was £100 a night, poor value for that. Several minor snags in room. Narrow stairs, some sections without handrail. Could not recommend it. You will notice that there are very few recent reviews on Google maps. After my stay, I've found negative reviews on other sites.

Pleasant enough with a few niggles. |1. The check-in form is *extraordinarily* long and asked for my email address and phone number, both of which were already known to the hotel as I booked online and was sent a text message with the door …
