No 42 by GuestHouse, Margate

A fantastic find! Booked this hotel last minute as an alternative to a cancelled trip, and we were not disappointed, treated ourselves to one of the lookout suites and it was beautiful, clean, spacious, fantastic sea view and the free standing bath with accompanying toiletries is delightful! Will definitely been returning. We opted for the sunday lunch in the hotel restaurant (Pearly Cow) and it was delicious, reasonably priced and the staff were extremely attentive and lovely! We had a perfect stay, and even though there was a small issue during our time at 42 it was handled perfectly by the staff, mistakes happen its how they are handled that matters!

Well what cant I say about my experience at No.42 by GuestHouse. I stay away for business at least twice a week and this is with out doubt the best hotel that I have stayed in in 2024. I will start by mentioning the great service delivered by the staff. They were so friendly and went out of their way to ensure that I had a lovely stay. The staff went above and beyond at this quirky boutique hotel. The quality of the food was excellent and again a great service. My room was absolutely beautiful with finishing touches that I have not seen before. There was a record player in the room with albums to choose from. There was also a old fashioned radio that was on when you arrived in the room. The quality of the bed linen and towels was exceptional. There was also extra touches a beautiful free standing bath with beautiful body lotions etc. Robe and slippers. I had the best night sleep and I do not normally sleep well whilst away. On my floor outside in the hall way they also had a Candy station where you could help yourself to old fashioned sweets, cookies and fruit. There was a fridge with different flavoured waters. They also have a roof top bar which I didnt visit on this occasion. Breakfast again had the best local produce and was made to order not a buffet. I also needed a taxi the next morning which was ordered by the front desk and arrived within 5 minutes. Thank You so much to all the staff. I can not wait to come here again next year.

first bad review i’ve ever felt compelled to leave bright fire exit light in room 6, had to hang 2 towels over a door to try to block out the light so i could sleep, bottom photo is taken from in bed at 4am when I woke up (again) unbearably hot and window door did not open despite almost pulling it off its hinges, so we could not cool down if we tried, temp control panel did nothing to save us, even contemplated taking a cold shower at 4am… flashing light on the smoke alarm right above the bed, just to seal the deal very disappointed, couldn’t sleep properly for 2 nights rest of the place is great, but what good is that when you can’t sleep! I think we may have been unlucky with the room we were given having seen other glowing reviews…

Fabulous! I loved everything about this hotel! So cute and quirky. Everyone was so nice. The spa is beautiful and the treatment was fantastic. Rooftop bar was a nice surprise as well. Just fab! Can’t wait to go back.

Must stay! The most beautiful hotel with such attentive and friendly staff. I stayed here for my birthday and it did not disappoint. Gorgeous decor, the comfiest bed, delicious food and beautiful views!

The Most Beautiful Birthday Solo Trip I came to Margate for an overnight solo birthday trip and I had the most wonderful time at No 42 by Guesthouse (Margate). The room was gorgeous - spacious, airy, well designed and with a balcony overlooking the beach that seats two people comfortably. There are lots of little amenities in the room that make your stay comfortable as well as supporting local businesses and artists, and the pantry is an excellent touch if you're feeling snacky. Dinner was all booked up by the time I checked in as it was a Sunday and everything closes a bit earlier but I got an excellent recommendation from the staff for the restaurant next door which was amazing. Breakfast in the morning was delicious (you can eat overlooking the sea) and I also tried a treatment the spa which was great (they give you a sample of the oil they use in your massage which was a lovely touch). I'd definitely return.
