The location was great, Hythe High street was opposite the hotel. The bus stops were immediately outside. The seafront and the Military Canal were within easy walking distance. As stated in a previous review the Hotel is old and has old wooden sash windows and old floor boards, but these did not detract from our stay. Free Hotel parking was available to the rear of the property. The Staff were nice and friendly. The evening meals were lovely and there was a good choice of beers.
Being an old building my wife found the stairs to be a little steep. We had breakfast only on one day. The food was lovely, but it only consisted of a cooked breakfast and a hot drink which we felt that this did not offer great value for £12.00. We thought that maybe fruit juice, cereal and extra toast could have been available.

We have visited annually for the last 10 years. Under new management it continues to be a welcoming team with clean and comfortable bedrooms. On site parking is a bonus.
Despite not being fully booked during our stay we were given the room above the bin store with staff emptying recycling bottles late at night. Discrepancies on booking site and in bedroom breakfast charged at £7.50 on arrival charged £10 totalled an extra £40 on booking. Website could do with details like live music playing which might disturb customers with the extra noise.

The booking process, check in, quality of room, the restaurant and private parking were all excellent. The staff were also very helpful. This is an ideal place to stay in Hythe with all the local shops and restaurants within walking distance. The only downside during this visit was that there was no breakfast service (due to no chef available). We were advised of this during the booking process. Would certainly stay here again
Breakfast availability (although there are places to eat nearby)

Room was spacious. Didn't take meals on premises.
On arrival, the hotel had no record of my booking and my room had been allocated to another guest. After a time, another room was found for me. It would appear there was a lack of communication between yourselves and the hotel. If, luckily, they hadn't had a free room I would have travelled 500 miles to visit a dying friend to no avail. I would like to know what went wrong.

The staff were polite, friendly and welcoming. The room and en suite was clean and the bed very comfortable with nice bedding. Tea making facilities had PG tips teabags as well as hot chocolate and coffee. Also 4 best biscuits! Our evening meal was value for money and we really enjoyed a shared starter of cheesy nachos. Lovely waiter bought us our food and checked we had all we wanted. We made use of the fan supplied in our room as a warm night and slept well, Breakfast was also great and served by a cheerful staff member. We really did enjoy our stay and will return .
The shower was a decent size with nice shower gel but it would really benefit having a bigger shower head as the one currently fitted is a little small. Everything else was great

Our third visit here for an overnight stop on a long journey. Very convenient for the tunnel, only 10 mins drive. Good food in the restaurant and we're delighted you now have a coffee machine for an after dinner espresso, thank you!
The parking is tricky but great when you can get parked. We were woken up at 5.15am by a very loud "motor" noise in the shower room, which was quite alarming.

Our 1 night stay was so wonderful. The bedroom and the bar was really clean and comfortable. The food served was of great taste so compliments to the chief. All staff were very helpful and caring, with nothing being too much for them. The landlord and lady were very welcoming and very attentive during our stay and talking with them showed how passionate they are of their pub and customers. What a lovely couple and a well run pub and accommodation. Certain will be returning. Well done to Bill and Debbie.

Rooms were lovely and clean. The restaurant was well presented and the staff were all friendly. The food was yummy and we really enjoyed our stay. I had the Mediterranean breakfast my first morning and that was delicious, a real great alternative to the fry up. But my second day I had the fry up and I enjoyed that very much. A well deserved after wedding breakfast haha. Overall a great, happy,friendly stay and we will stay there again. Thank you!
The drunk people outside my room at 2am waking me up.. Can't be helped not your fault haha. All was good.

Room was clean and spacious, radiators worked and kept room at good temperature. Linens were well laundered. Kettle, iron, full size fridge, microwave present and working. We didn't eat there but wish we had. We hadn't time for breakfast but noted that several local people arrived for breakfast so assume it must be good! Staff were very friendly and attentive and payment taken very smoothly
Needed a hair dryer. Car park was full, small and cramped with no ability to turn round. Had to back out onto main road (dangerous) and park in one of the 3 or 4 spaces at the front of the pub.

Very clean and fresh smelling, loved the furniture style or choice, tea and coffee supplies great variety and good quality. Love the bed linen soft duvet. Clean carpet and nice deco.. Very quiet and free parking. Didn't use pub area but nice setting both indoors and outdoors. Very clean towels. Close to where I was visiting and staff were great. I would come back again and even recommend the place.
Couldn't close the window noice from passing cars and there is no full length mirror..
