Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Great location, helpful staff.
An Old building & was a bit of a rabbit warren with lots of corridors & was easy to get lost trying to find room at first.We were at the back of hotel, not very scienic but was nice & quiet away from clubs & pubs pounding music along the seafront.
Posizione splendida di fronte al mare, ma la scelta del carpete in un hotel sul mare è del tutto fuori luogo.
The Location was great but the room was shabby and totally lacking in style or. Corinthians, I had breakfast on one of the 2 days I. Was there I asked for a couple of fryed eggs and coffee and I what a was given was unbelievable although I was booked in. For a breakfast they were not ready for me. or any guest who wanted. Somethings to eat. Then the fire alarm went off in the hotel about 10 30 pm the guest didn't know what was going on little explanation from anyone.the night staff who was doing his best to keep the situation under control he manged to stop the terrible noise then at 6 am the fire alarm went off again waking everyone up and having to to leave the hotel standing outside in the cold again no explanation later in the morning I asked a member of the staff why the alarm went off twice he give me a cock and bull story by saying. Someone might have been smoking in one of the rooms I think looks suspiciously like some kind of fuilty wiring I would never go back there again
Lack of professionalism
Very nice staff and great location
Wasn’t disabled friendly
The breakfast was lovely and the staff friendly
The room was tatty and dirty. The window had to be shut and the curtains closed as it was next to a staircase that was next to the building and the public could look in to the room. It was room 201. The advertised photos were nothing like the room. At the price they charged I would expect much much better
there was lot of noise coming from the 1st floor event room
Worth knowing that the music from downstairs causes the whole building to vibrate. Music stops at 11pm but you won’t want to be in the room in the evening before then.
Accueil chaleureux , en plein centre, le long du port. Possibilité de souper sur place.
On entend assez fort les bruits des clients dans les couloirs, et au-dessus. Ainsi que les bruits de la rue la nuit. Petit-déjeuner à partir de 9.00: c’est beaucoup trop tard quand on veut visiter et qu’on est lève-tôt.
They great customer service, we booked a room on third floor, my had broken her foot after we booked, made our way to the room she struggled with stairs so the hotelier had room on first floor for us which was so much appreciated like say abig thank you
If had one grape we didn't stay long enough, but we didn't get chance say goodbye
Really nice hotel, comfortable room. Spotlessly clean and fantastic location right on the harbour
Very warm welcome from friendly and helpful staff.
Excellent location. Lovely view and super nice hotel staff.
Very noisy on weekend evenings - bars open until 4am. However this is made quite clear on booking and didn't really bother me. So this isn't really a complaint - just a tip.

A/c wasn’t working. Broken curtains Leak in the bathroom
I liked everything. The staff were really welcoming and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. They kept my luggage as my train was late in the evening. Beds and towels were really clean though the towels were a bit frayed 😂. All in all I had a lovely stay and would recommend.
Nothing
Отличный номер, всё соответствовало описанию на сайте, уютно, есть чай, кофе, молоко. Расположение потрясающее - напротив гавань, много баров, и лавочка с морепродуктами. Владелец отеля отличный человек. Решил все вопросы, угощал турецким кофе, сделал скидку на баре.
Lovely hotel - warm and welcoming.
Prices in bar quite high and no residents bar.
Location
Very small bed for two people
It’s great for the central position. We had a view of the harbour!
It’s being renovated. The standards were not high just adequate. The room wasn’t ready for over an hour . Whilst plugging something in I found dusty sweet wrapping under the bedside table The room was ‘wiped’ over not clean eg smears on mirrors The bathroom needed a deep clean especially the smeared shower glass I’m Sure that those problems will be ironed out once renovation is over and they arnt cleaning up that mess as well. Lovely people just needs a few areas upgrade
How everyone was very kind to us the place that it was lovely

Great position, helpful staff team
The Guy on Reception upgraded our room to a Family Room instead of a twin room.
The Room was not clean, the skirtings etc were dirty. One window had a broken brass piece, it was sitting on the window sill. In the Bathroom the toilet felt like you were going to go through the ceiling when you sat on it. The shower had no bottom seal to it to stop the water going on the floor so the floor got very wet, slip hazard. It was dated and dirty. I know that it has new ownership and I respect it is probably a lot to take on but it could have been cleaner.
We'd booked a deluxe room and it was spacious, clean, comfortably furnished with a very good view of the harbour. The staff were all lovely, polite and friendly. There's a fair amount of nightlife with live music and people enjoying themselves but it didn't disturb us or keep us awake at night at all. There are lots of things in Ramsgate to do and see, we hadn't been there in a long while so it was a rediscovery with other places to visit not too far away. We enjoyed our time there and would definitely be happy to stay there again.
There was nothing we didn't like about our stay at The Royal Oak Hotel.
Great location
The location is amazing
The rooms and hotel are dingy and dirty. We didn’t want to stay in our room. Paid £20 for an upgrade and the other room was bigger but still bad. Bathroom light didn’t work, room carpet was filthy, hallway smelt of old cigarettes and was rundown. The shower screen in the bathroom was broken so when you showered the room flooded. Had a general feel of run down and grubby.
Perfect location and staff were wonderful
Bed wasn’t very comfy and the tv wasn’t working. Plenty of towels but could do with replacing. Great value for money
Lack of car parking.
Great location
No mini fridge in room. No chair in room , had to sit on the bed to eat take away, scroll phone etc. Every room should have a chair.
Friendly staff
View from window
Great location, comfortable rooms. Polite, friendly and helpful staff
Very helpful staff especially helping me with my heavy case. Comfortable stay.
Norhing.
Everything apart from the stairs! It was good to have fans as it was very hot during our stay. The view was exceptional of the harbour.
Stairs to rooms
The hospitality. What amazingly friendly they was. We did have a moan about the first room, but straight away they moved us even though very busy.
Stairs. Lots of them if your above 1st floor
The location was good
The carpet in room was wet and stank, the bathroom door wouldnt close, only 2 plug sockets under tv none by bed, no fan supplied even though it was 34 degrees. Staff non existant. Towels in bathroom all frayed and old. The people we did manage to speak to were foreign and didnt understand us. Shame because its a lovely old building and has great potential, but needs total refurb and bringing up to standard. Wasnt worth the price i was charged for it.
The hotel is conveniently located on the quayside, close to all the local shops, bars and restaurants. Good value for money, the rooms are a decent size and come with everything you would expect.
N/A
Location is great but expect noise if at front. Family run and friendly
No lift, lots of steep stairs. Room was clean but faced horrible 'court yard' with plastic xmas tree, fake grass and air conditioning ducts. Horrible view and airless. Several things needed mending in the room which I think is inexcusable even at 2 star. That said, we enjoyed our stay and it was cheap and pleasant.
Clean
Tv didn’t work small no view
Hello, good evening! We loved everything – it’s in a great location, we were made to feel very welcome, and I was really pleased that they fulfilled my request for a bottle of champagne, which was absolutely delicious. Well done on everything – the breakfast was perfect, and the service was brilliant 😉😊🥰😃💐
The staff was lovely, and the room looked onto the seaside
The beds were slightly hard and the nightclub downstairs went onto 4am! so didn’t get much sleep
It was literally a bed for the night and if i say that i dont mean it in a good way it was fithy dirty in every room, the breakfast was awful so i liked nothing about the royal oak hotel im not a fussy sort of person either but this was something else i also have a 3 year old boy and a 60 year old mother and they decide to put us on the 4th floor in a room thats not even marked out or numbered because it was actually someone elses flat from before with loads of old food in the cupboards and in the fridge it was very bad service provided.
Everything as i say it was overall in every aspect disgustingly poor.
everythig worked
No staff were ever available,,,,,,, room was dirty,,,,pillows need updating Room dirty lots of dust No plug for bath and net curtain torn and dirty
Breakfast ok coukd have been hotter.
A lift
Location is perfect
Nice for a pocket friendly
Proximity to the beach and social amenities
Breakfast was great. Location was prime. Room was super clean. The family room we stayed did not have any noise.
Nothing to complain about.
The staff were very helpful.
Too many stairs
Fabulous location
Steep stairs to room
Conveniently located, helpful staff
Incredibly noisy right outside the hotel with thumping music throughout the night. (There is a warning about weekends on the booking page)
Location was perfect, next to the beach and supermarkets! Staff were very helpful and friendly. Room had everything we needed
Location
There was extremely loud music until 3/4am in the morning. The room was very outdated and in need of a makeover. The water was cold always cold. No mirror above the dressing table so I couldn’t dry my hair in front of a mirror. We stayed two nights, the room wasn’t made up and no fresh towels. No blackout blinds so very light from 4am. Very disappointed with this accommodation, we wouldn’t stay there again.
There is a sea view and it’s next to most amenities (many of which were quite rough!)
The windows are impossible to open which doesn’t work in a very hot summer without aircon. So the room was incredibly stuffy. Not that you’d want to open the windows, as they are just about a club that blasts music until 2 or 3am. It’s loud and the base gets into the room. When we arrived there was a donut from the previous guest who stayed in the room and ants all over it.
Good large room and excellent bed. Location right in the centre on the quay.
No hot water in shower (though plenty in the had-basin). Corridors and public rooms are a bit tired.
Great hotel at an excellent location. Staff were polite and accommodating.
Location and overnight stay ,also great helpful staff 10/10
Awesome location, very good rooms and competitive pricing. The staff were friendly and accommodating.
There was no air-conditioning but the rooms had fans, which was helpful.
Convenient location moments from the attractions of Ramsgate very pleasant hotel
Should been a fridge in the room and noisy music both nights and loud people very close by.
Excellent location and fast check in
My window opened onto a central dead space used for some storage. This in itself was to be expected as I got a very reasonable rate however it infringed on my privacy as othe windows within clear sight
a helyszin
a bejutas nem volt egyszeru, kicsit lelakott a hely
Good location by the harbour! Property was clean and staff friendly.
Room was a bit small. Corridor layout was a bit confusing initially.
Would have been good to know about the night time noise at time of booking, not after
Noise
The bed was comfortable
There was no light in the bathroom TV didn’t work and the noise from upstairs kept me awake half the night , every thing else was ok.
Location, size of room
Not able to open windows, air con faulty, too hot n stuffy in room.
The staff and location
The building is old and so is the room and bathroom
Lovely man at the front desk, so helpful and welcoming to us and our baby
El servicio y la atención al cliente. Pedí 2 platos para comer y me lo facilitaron sin ningún problema. Pude comer a gusto.
Las almohadas eran un poco planas, prefiero que sean mas esponjosas. Por lo demás, la habitación estaba estupenda.
Noise. Loud music until 4am. We were not warned about this in advance or offered any other room option. Fan did not work in room.
location
no fridge very noisy fan that wasn't replaced after numerous requests and the place looks like it hasn't been decorated for 50 odd years
Great location Bright ,airy and comfortable
As advised was noisy on Friday night through to 4am,music from nearby bar
Good location
Door lock didn’t always lock properly
Location
Shower was dirty. Not cleaned full of hair. Vents not cleaned dusty. Shower pipes were extremely hot and could burn.
Location. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Great value for money. View
On street parking was difficult. Construction work in the harbour started early and was noisy. Shower head didn't fit properly in it's holder so water came down too close to the wall
Nothing
Dirty hotel, people clearly had been smoking in the room prior to my stay. Looks nothing like photos. The water was cloudy and just felt uncomfortable my whole stay.
Great location
Too loud music late at night from bar next door
Staff so nice and accommodating Area Great surroundings
Nothing
Location excellent, breakfast very good. Staff friendly and helpful. Air con came in handy during our stay as sunshine made an appearance
Curtains need replacing as are thin and do not keep sun out. Shower adequate but could be replaced by power shower.
Great location
If you take children there be very careful of the hot water, it will burn
Si
Fantastic location . We had a sea view room overlooking the harbour
The night club/bar next door. Music playing until early hours . Was not told of this when booking.
Location was excellent 👍
Excellent location overlooking the marina and close to all amenities. The manager/owner was friendly and accommodating. Our rooms had everything we needed. It offers great value for money if you’re on a budget.
Nothing
We were greeted well and the gentleman carried my bag up to our room. The breakfast option was really good value and enjoyable Lovely sea view
We were on the top floor with no lift on a hot day, and the facilities were very basic but very clean.
The hosts were very accommodating and friendly and nice , we liked the seaside themed decoration.
L’accoglienza e il posto. Il receptionista fantastico. Una persona super simpatica.
La pulizia della stanza andrebbe curata
Very clean and near everything
No fridge
The reception staff were really friendly
The room we were originally given had not been cleaned, so we had to be moved... The new room door latch was faulty, but workable. We felt our patience was being tested, then discovered there was NO HOT WATER(!) for a shower – and when we reported it, the staff said they knew (just hadn't mentioned it), and were "trying to get it fixed". It was not fixed by the time we left. £185 for two nights is just wildly overpriced; we were not offered any kind of refund or compensation for a very basic failure. Freezing cold showers after spending time on the beach/ in the sea is really a horrible experience! (Music from local bars goes on until 2am, which we were fine with honestly but may disturb other travellers)
Lovely view lovely large bed near to everything
It was very hot in the room only one window opens fans didn’t really help much, there was only two milks for the tea and coffees, our bed and room wasn’t changed the next day and never any staff around to ask, nearly every draw had stuff left in it such a shame as we have stayed in this room numerous times and have never had any complaints also the toilet seat was loose
Very good staff, felt welcomed as soon as we checked in
Heat was an issue but there’s no fixing the sun
A lovely room, perfect location, fantastic staff.
Pleasant room overlooking the harbour. Comfortable bed. Good hanging space with some hangers. Wifi worked well. The family who own/manage the hotel are helpful and pleasant.
Although location was good in that it is right next to the picturesque harbour, it is also right next door to an extremely noisy bar/nightclub, which apparently is always very 'lively' at weekends. We were there on a Saturday night. Walls are also thin. After the noise downstairs died down, we were woken by people shouting outside our room. Presumably people from the party next door. Reception is odd. It is not staffed, but when you call a number, a member of staff comes quite quickly.
Location
First room already occupied. Moved to a flat which had dishes on the draining board , not clean . No toilet roll or towels . It was as if they weren’t expecting us to.
Our room was nice, away from street noise. Very pleasant people. Breakfast was extraordinary. My child ate big portion.
The only low side was that we were allocated on 3rd floor, no lift. Apart from that I found the room really pleasant.
