First of all the service was very very poor, waiters were rude and onproffessional. The food on the other hand was great! The rooms were ok, but the breakfast was terrible!!! So, nice cooking chef! Anything else very cheap! B.Rantong, Eindhoven the Netherlands more

Dogs are allowed but only in back rooms so no sea view! This was good as very noisy at the front due to band playing in bar/ reception. Room very comfortable. Breakfast was a farce Fawlty Towers could have done better. There were no staff around then kichen staff appeared to set out breakfast things cursing lack of other staff,... more

I first went to the Sandgate early in 2006, I was very impressed with how clean the hotel was, the staff are fantastic and the Hotel Manager welcomed us and served us a drink to welcome us on our arrival! We were then showed to our room which had a lovely balcony that looked straight out over the sea. We... more

Stayed at The Sandgate while down in Kent for a family birthday and really liked the place. Was recommended to stay here by a friend who said it was quite a cool boutique style hotel. The decor is really nice (wallpaper especially), the rooms are not massive but ours had a balcony with a sea view which is gorgeous. Ate... more

Having read a number of reviews for the Sandgate I felt it was only fair to add my own comments about my experiences there! I have stayed at the Sandgate a number or times and always found the Staff more than helpful...in fact it is one of the reasons I keep going back! There are many regulars who drink, stay... more

We visited the Sandgate hotel for the evening in early Feb this year and were appalled at the attitude of the staff. We entered as a group of 8 (4 couples) with the view to spending the evening in what had been described as fashionable surroundings. The evening was spoilt as one of our group, when asking for a Bar... more

Stayed her for one Saturday night. We had a room at the front of the hotel, which has lovely sea views. The rooms are a bit pokey but quite nice and all with modern decor. If I was being picky, the design layout was poor and both the room and bathroom would have benefitted from more space if some thought... more

We booked this hotel as it looked great from the reviews and planned to use it for a seaside getaway! The hotel is really lovely and has been decorated with a very chic touch. However, the organisation and general level of service is really bad. We arrived at 4.30pm hoping to check - in straight away in order to get... more

We really liked the decor, staff and fantastic sea views - but left feeling a bit confused after staying Sat / Sun for a birthday celebration. The room was lovely and the staff very sweet and helpful, but I'd have difficulty bringing myself to book another weekend here if I expected a restful stay. The hotel has a nightclub in... more
