beachside bliss!

perfect locationairy feelpartial sea viewthin walls
the location was perfect, right on the seafront! our room had such a light and airy feel, it really enhanced the romantic vibe. i even spied a partial sea view from a cute, little window!
the walls seemed very thin, and i could hear some noise from neighboring rooms, which slightly disrupted the tranquility.

prime locationuseful fridgefresh decorample space
Location is seriously top notch. It is right on the beach, I could practically roll out of bed and into the sea. The room offered ample space. I found a useful fridge inside, what a plus! Decor was fresh plus clean.
Check in takes place away from the hotel. It did feel a little inconvenient.

The location is superb. It sits right behind the seawall so access to the beach is easy. Local restaurants are within easy reach and Whitstable town center isn't far away, I loved it!

There is a fantastic restaurant called the Whitstable Oyster Company super close. I found pubs such as the Pearson's Arms plus the Lazy Lobster equally nearby. There is a little place outside to have brekkie on the beach, so many options!

I stayed in the apartment. It had two terraces. One terrace faced the sea. The other terrace was smaller.
I had some trouble finding my parking spot. It was not signposted well. My key card also did not work initially.
