Lovely Weekend

A great hotel with lovely decor, somebody has a special design flair. Balcony room well worth the upgrade cost with the sea views. Only slight downside was parking uncertainty, but seems to apply generally in Whitstable.

Hotel Continental, Whitstable

Minuscule hotel car park. Ended up parking 10min walk away on 1st night. Parked on street next night (after 9pm). Chargeable from 08:30 in morning with max 4 hrs stay. So can’t leave car for day and walk around town. Ok room. En-suite had tiny sink on very weathered wood surface. Shower ok but leaky screen, so floor was very wet after. Good amenities with nice teas, coffee & water available Housekeeping very efficient & excellent breakfast

Beautiful stay at Whistable, really enjoyed the property and the area. It was very hot when we stayed and no air conditioning in the room so we did have trouble sleeping, however the place is gorgeous and such a fantastic view. Staff were excellent too!
