Great breakfast, exceptional location

The lack of affordable car parking close by

The place was in a great position and extremely well maintained

There was absolutely nothing we didn't like. We were in Whitstable for my daughter's wedding & it will be the place I'd use for now on.

Everything! We booked last minute after checking out of a very poor more expensive travel Inn. We were welcomed & taken to our perfect room with everything plus a bath. The food & staff were exceptional in making our stay so amazing.

Lack of everyday tea bags, but that was rectified. Would of liked instant coffee sachets. The older generation is not always able to use coffee makers.

Very tastefully decorated and the bedroom was very comfortable. Breakfast was superb and plenty of it. Best omelette I've ever had.

Not much, great overall

For the price i expected a bit better in the little things. For example at breakfast is wasn't clear what was available but not on the menu - one day we were offered cereal, the next we weren't. One day we saw jam for toast by the pass but weren't offered any, also fresh orange juice rather than carton would be nice or higher quality carton juice. We were in a top floor room and it was quite warm despite outdoor temperatures being low 20C with no option other than opening windows and letting moths in.

Looks nicely and recently refurbished. Very clean and lovely room decor with comfortable bed/cushions. Good breakfast options. Great central location however with that comes high street noise as the windows are single glazed sash, shame they weren't upgrade as part of refurbishment.

No fridge in the room

Location and good facilities

Stayed in May 2024

We received a room on the 2nd floor that was cosy but smaller (and under the roof) than the ones on the pictures for the same rate. There is no elevator, so a lot of steps up and down, certainly with luggage. Isolation of windows in this room was not good. We were there in a quiet period, so no noice in the evening, could be different in the summer however.

Stylish decorated and very comfortable hotel, with bar and restaurant, in the centre of Whitstable. Breakfest is impeccable. Very friendly service. Availability of (paying) short or long term parking nearby. Good bus connection to Canterbury.

Fantastic location, and staff all really helpful and welcoming. Rooms very comfortable too.

Had a dinner at the dining area, a bit disappointed as food wasn’t that great for the prices but it didn’t ruin our stay whatsoever.

Stayed with my partner at the Duke in April, the location is brilliant! There’s a parking 2 minutes away which was handy. All the restaurants/bars/beach just a few minutes walk. Our double room was beautiful and spacious with a lot of light. We also had a breakfast in the morning which was absolutely delicious! Full English was 5/5. Definitely recommend staying here.

Lovely room, delicious breakfast and wonderful staff

Stairs are quite steep and we were on second floor. Bit of a haul up and down with heavy cases at our age but offer to help was made by staff..

Well situated in the heart of Whitstable. Room and bathroom was excellent and everything needed was in the room.

I appreciate that the building is old, but single glazed windows in 2024 is a shame as we could hear clearly the noise from the street.

Location is pretty central and very close from the beach. The amenities were very good (tea, coffee, complimentary water and local beers), and the decoration of the room is very stylish, room was big and bed was very comfy. Breakfast was very good and freshly prepared.

There is no parking at the pub and parking in the town is quite expensive. There is however a Charity Car Park a bit further up the High Street at Whitstable Junior School from 9am-5pm (10am on Sundays) on weekends and during school holidays. Not only is this much cheaper (they ask for a donation), but it provides valuable income for both the school and the various charities that take it in turns to run the car park. Overnight parking is available in council run carparks; the cheapest ones are Band 3 and the nearest of these is on Shaftsbury Road.

The pub is located right in the middle of the town, which was ideal for access to shops. restaurants, the harbour and beach. The room was delightful: nicely decorated/furnished, very comfortable, well thought out, clean and in good condition. Very good shower and a nice bright bathroom. The complimentary bottles or water and local beer were a nice touch and much appreciated. There was a good choice of cooked breakfasts and the ones we chose were excellent (perfect poached eggs!), served with nice coffee and juice. A very limited selection of cereal was also available on request. Overall, we really enjoyed our brief stay and would happily recommend!

The place, nice staff and love the dinner!

Breakfast could have been a bit more generous considering the price of the stay!

Clean and well located with friendly staff.

We had a one night stay with our disabled son and we were very comfortable. The breakfast was lovely as well.

The Hotel was lovely and clean and fresh and the position was perfect.
