Does exactly what it says on the tin. On the seafront, 5 mins walk to the centre of town. Certain rooms have both sea views and a north facing balcony big enough to sit out on. Rooms on the small side but cosy and comfortable with a good shower. Good wi-fi. Friendly staff. Good breakfasts. Small first-come-first-served-after-1pm car park for guests, otherwise nearby municipal car parks of varying hourly charges (see Parkopedia). Nice hotel bar with a resident pianist when we arrived (a Sunday afternoon) and the restaurant was serving oysters. Highly recommended, good VFM.

Small car park, excellent staff!
Very good greating when i walked on. Directed to receptionist who was very helpful. Car park behind hotel and small but had a lot of cars in it. Instructions to find it much more difficult than the drive to it. Lovely food, dinner and breakfast, and only woke once in the night. Overall: excellent. Thank you.

Great setting overlooking the sea. We had a Deluxe Double room with balcony which was great - weather warmer than expected so we did sit out on occasion. Not a lot of hanging space in our room with wardrobe and fridge/kettle/hairdryer in second half of cupboard, hence 4 stars. Maybe a few hooks by the door would have helped for outdoor clothes. All in all though the atmosphere was great and the room was lovely. Front desk extremely helpful and warm welcome. Dinner in the evening was great with good service. Get there early for the best parking spots!

Would stay again
Really friendly, helpful staff. Room was small but did what i needed so no issues. Room was lovely and clean along with the bathroom. Decent rain fall shower which was nice. Great location if you wanted a walk up the beach front etc. Good breakfast again with happy, friendly staff. Stayed for business but would be happy to go back for a few nights with the family.

Have stayed before and had a lovely spacious room but the room this time was literally big enough for the standard double bed. This was fine for us as we were only staying one night but for more than that I’d book a bigger room.

We loved this hotel. The situation was great, staff helpful and friendly and the view to die for. Unfortunately, on the first night a group of campervans and parked in the car parking spaces at the front of the hotel overnight and partied until 2or 3 am so it was very difficult to sleep. Not the hotels fault and I guess a risk you take at a seaside resort. Breakfast was great and cooked to order and the bar staff very helpful indeed. Thoroughly pleasant stay.

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!
