Reviews for The Oak Hotel

Review 1：Clean and comfortable. Felt homely for the one night we stayed at New Year. We stayed in a room with a double bed and single bed for myself and teenage daughter after paying an extra £10 for a larger room at checking in. My daughter liked it and said she would stay again. Have to say the hotel does not look impressive from the outside, but for a short stay works well and within a short walking distance to local shops, the harbour and transport links.

Review 2：None

Review 3：Staff in hotel were very friendly through out our stay. We had not booked breakfast . But the hotel has a caffe that we used the food was very good. Rooms were nice and clean, and the hotel was nice and quite concidering it was new years eve.

Review 4：Only a small gripe, I was hoping to get a view of the Marina from my room, but sadly as I was at the side of the building all I got was a view of a brick wall, but apart from that, my stay was perfect.

Review 5：The location of the hotel is excellent being right opposite the Marina, so you were only a very short distance away from everything you needed. The staff were excellent and extremely helpful. Would I stay there again, a definite yes!!

Review 6：Advertising on Booking.com didn't actually show photo of hotel & was misleading as to location. Wasn't clear when booked that breakfast not part of price - probably problem emanating from Booking's website rather than hotel. Party with loud music in rented-out suite above our rooms . Lasted until gone midnight. Not very relaxing.

Review 7：Cleanliness

Review 8：They did not have the facilities for the elderly or disabled and they did not have anything on their web to say this as it is all up stairs no lifts and as I have a difficulty with stairs it made my stay very uncomfortable so I would not become it for that reason

Review 9：the bed squeaked and the room was small I could not move in the night for the bed squeaking other wise it was ok

Review 10：the staff was nice and the breakfast was to die for and a good range of food

Review 11：Hotel was very noisy and we were kept awake until very late into the night by music and also guests in other rooms.

Review 12：Comfy bed and clean room, great location

Review 13：Although they mention it on their website, it's really noisy. We were there on a Saturday and the noise from surrounding bars was disturbing. I had earplugs so it was ok, but you shouldn't go there for a quiet sleep. We had a room at streetside, so maybe at the back it's less disturbing.

Review 14：Ladies at the desk were very friendly and helpful. Rooms are clean, there's enough space and the view on the little harbour is beautiful.

Review 15：Noise from air conditioning system outside bedroom window during the night, unavoidable but kept us awake.

Review 16：Friendly, informal, good location, good local facilities.

Review 17：A very enjoyable stay. The staff were helpfull, especially the lady at reception when we arrived. She helped with explaining where we could park and arranged it for us.

Review 18：Located very close to a nightclub and heard music and chattering until 4 am. This wasn't the fault of the hotel.

Review 19：Room was small but lovely. Bathroom was clean Breakfast was good Lots of staff about

Review 20：There's an alarming warning about not letting steam out of the shower in case it sets off the fire alarm. Is this to discourage people using the showers? Need better smoke detectors!

Review 21：Nice old-fashioned hotel right by the harbour, beach and cliff walks.

Review 22：Bed was very soft, which was fine for me, but my girlfriend wasn't keen and gave her a bad back. Main problem was the room was baking hot, but when you opened the windows there was a very noisy extractor fan outside, so got a very bad night sleep. If you had a harbour side view, you would have the same problem but with a noisy bar below.

Review 23：Location was very good, right on the harbour side and close to restaurants, bars etc. Rooms were small but adequate and reasonably good value for money.

Review 24：The noise from the nightclub two doors down until 3am and then the shouting of clubbers until 4am. Smell of urine coming from the street when window was opened at 4am. Sleep was constantly disrupted. Needless to say we were all quite tired on the Sunday. There is no information regarding this night club so we could not make a decision on whether we should book a room or not. Very unfortunate for the hotel.

Review 25：Although our sleep was constantly interrupted due to the noise from the night club, the beds were very comfortable and towels very fluffy. Clean room and good carpet.

Review 26：Parking a little hit or miss if lots of heavy luggage. We were lucky to get a space in small car park opposite which you can pay for 24 hours.

Review 27：Reception staff very helpful and informative as were bar staff.

Review 28：No on site parking. Ticket issued for local multi storey car park. Breakfast is an extra cost and can be taken at the cafe next door.

Review 29：Room was comfortable and clean.

Review 30：Pillows hard, on 4th floor so a lot of stairs. No car park

Review 31：Staff pleasant, hotel was very clean everywhere. Didn't have breakfast but did have a meal in hotel "cafe" which was good

Review 32：I would not receommend this hotel if you want a good nights sleep! There was a wedding on until midnight directly under my room and the bars around the hotel are very noisy and busy until at least 2am!

Review 33：There was a bit of a noise from the air conditioner just outside our window. However, if I used the ear plugs, I wouldn't even hear it

Review 34：The room and bathroom were of a good size, clean and tidy. The bar/restaurant is nice. The wifi they use is the Cloud.

Review 35：Parking could be a little tricky although we were lucky and got a space in small car park across the road.

Review 36：Staff very friendly and helpful. Weather was very sunny and tables and chairs on pavement outside overlooking the harbour.

Review 37：Noisy from bar next door until 3am. Not good for those wanting a peaceful night.

Review 38：Loved the hotel and the location. Everything you could want under one roof. With views to die for.

Review 39：I didn't like the town much seemed very run down but could not fault the hotel local to every thing

Review 40：Lovely room over looking the harbour room was clean will all of the nice things you would expect very pleasant stay

Review 41：There is a busy bar/club next door that was very loud on the saturday night.

Review 42：Very comfortable room, great view across the harbour. Staff couldn't have been nicer.

Review 43：we didn`t lie the attitude of staff on arrival and at check in asked for double and got 2 singles in small room right at back of hotel and up very narrow stairway which would have been very difficult had bee disabled

Review 44：not a lot to like about this property

Review 45：Night club next door and screaming/smoking under our windows until 3am was really unexpected and unpleasant. I guess the owners should invest in some double glazed windows at least for the marina facing rooms.

Review 46：Really nice hotel with superb bar and restaurant in the perfect location

Review 47：They say that the WiFi is free but to get access you have to give lots of information and agree to being on mailing lists - not only theirs. Given the information you have to give this is far from free.

Review 48：The bedding was excellent. A cut (or two) above most Hotel duvet, pillows etc.

Review 49：I could live without the climb up 3 flights of stairs!

Review 50：Its been years since I was in Ramsgate but this was a good stay with the friendliest staff I have ever met in the UK.

Review 51：Despite a warning in the booking it could be noisey (bar/ Music venue next door) it was impossible to sleep before 3am+ on the Friday/Saturday nights we stayed there. Thudding bass and noise from paitrons in the bar and the street. Such a shame.

Review 52：The hotel is very comfortable and the staff were a delight. Parking was easy and had we wanted food was available in different options.

Review 53：The bed was quite uncomfortable and the pillows were very hard. Biscuits provided were gingernuts which I do not like.

Review 54：The location and the restaurant. The bar staff were very pleasant and I did not feel uncomfortable as a lone female.

Review 55：noise from next door nightclub!

Review 56：Lovely Staff, good location, great bar. Have stayed here on numerous occasions and cannot fault the hotel just the nightclub next door!

Review 57：Very noisy room even though it was supposed to be a quiter one. It would help if they put in double glazing windows.

Review 58：Location is close to lovely harbour & town centre.

Review 59：The first night was fine, but we couldn't get to sleep on the second because of the noise from the club a couple of doors along. Our room was on the 3rd floor and there' s no lift.

Review 60：It was lovely to be overlooking the harbour, even through blue netting...presumably not there now! We sat outside for breakfast with the view. I'd asked for a room with a bath in the bathroom and wasn't given one but the staff were very helpful, with one young woman coming up to the 3rd floor to tell us that she'd arranged for us to move next door on the second day.

Review 61：creaky floor boards in the corridors,slamming doors and other guests talking out side the rooms till 4 am, £7.50 for breakfast but if you were Joe blogs off the street full English was around £6.00 nowhere to sit in the room apart from the bed. strong smell of cleaning products in the on suite. view of the harbour hindered by scaffolding.

Review 62：the bar was a good meeting place as we were meeting old friends we had not seen for a good few years a nice place to catch up.

Review 63：I'd imagine the rooms do get hot in summer, but there are fans and with the window open we were fine for our stay in Mid Sept.

Review 64：Good location, and price, older style hotel with character, Very clean comfortable beds, Our room was on the 3rd floor at the rear and was very quiet - Great Shower and Huge TV

Review 65：Next door to rowdy bar/club. Music vibrating in room until 3 am! Lots of noise outside on street until 4am. Poor parking but staff will issue a permit to go in multi storey quite local. If returned would request a room in back of hotel for a good night sleep.

Review 66：A comfortable room clean, with good facilities, overlooking harbour with a great view. Restaurant food was great tasting lovely atmosphere, good menu choice. Reception staff very helpful. A good central location.

Review 67：What is the purpose of an hotel ?...sleeping . Let me know how a bar can manage to get a licence until 3 am...& right next to it an hotel with single glaze ... I'm going to complain to the council to allow this kind of application ... Also hotel hosting party til midnight and nothing is soundproof ! Couldn't sleep because of the noise and pay a lot for listening to it ! Which wasn t my plan . Bed was horrible small & too soft . Bathroom was nice but with hair in the sink ! Bookings.com please don t allow this type of hotel on your site. Hotel must follow rules & regulations ... Otherwise don't market them .

Review 68：We did NOT like the double beds in all rooms as we prefer King Size and there are far too many stairs in the hotel. Also rooms are far to hot, the weather was chilly but we had to have the windows open all night and a fan on.

Review 69：The rooms, the cleanliness & most of the staff.

Review 70：Our room 204 was above the party hall, and the music was so loud till midnight that we couldn't stay in our room until past then and we didnt want to stay out until that late but had no choice, the cups were shaking! We had no view, and an extractor fan right outside the window, which came on at 6am and woke us up as we had to have window open as the room was like a sauna! I couldn't even get ready in the room comfortably as it was so hot! Would stay again but in a better situated room.

Review 71：Staff were very friendly and gave clear information upon arrival. We had a few problems with our overnight stay, and when we made the complaint they were very helpful.

Review 72：My friend who was travelling with me had a room that had noisy air conditioners outside. It was okay if he kept his window shut, but he couldn't get fresh air.

Review 73：I loved the location and the room was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.

Review 74：Really loud noise until after 3 am by punters at the bar next door. Spoilt the pleasant harbour evening.

Review 75：Ramsgate harbour. Evening bars and restaurants.

Review 76：Room 205. A step just beyond the bedroom door hidden within the carpet design but mentioned on a small, somewhat mean sign on the sidewall. Consequence of this, my wife has a badly sprained ankle heavily strapped by our doctor.

Review 77：Location Attitude of the staff Quality of the food and service.

Review 78：Couldn't sleep til the clubs closed at 3am on Sunday morning not great when you have a wedding the following morning. Sunday night Monday morning was much better. Room wasn't cleaned on second day, receptionist said they had a problem with someone changing the 'please make the room' sign to 'do not disturb'... not sure how, as the room was kind of out on it's own, so nobody would really need to pass the door. Also, came back on first night to find the room door had been left on the catch - I am 100% sure the door was locked when we left... Breakfast was ok, but try local places for it instead, the main lady in the restaurant was like a fog horn and the the music in the dining are was too load at that time of the morning!

Review 79：Room was pleasant and clean...

Review 80：I had very little sleep as the noise outside, from the neighbouring bars was terrible - in fact I didn't get to sleep until gone 3 am, which must have been closing time. The bed, although was comfy, was extremely wobbly and very squeeky.

Review 81：Great breakfast and evening meal - lovely choice of food. Nice big room, very clean and comfy. Nice view over the harbour. We were upgraded to a larger room, because we could only stay one night and had already paid for two. They also did not charge us for breakfast for the same reason, nice good will gestures.

Review 82：We were delighted to be looked after by helpful and happy staff. Nothing was too much trouble and everyone was quick to inform us of the best deals for meal times. The room was better that the star rating for the hotel and everything had been thought of. The parking was in a multi-storey car park a couple of streets away, however we could get the ticket hand written by the hotel receptionist who added the cost to our bill, and this saved us from having to think about dealing with cash. We enjoyed the folk festival in nearby Broadstairs as we were dancing in it, when we came back all hot and bothered the room was a welcoming relief as it has air conditioning. Well done The Oak, we hope to see you all again next year

Review 83：I am older and don't like late night life, so I could hear the disco's etc far off into the small hours, though was not too unbearable, as they gave me a room away from the town front at the back of hotel. was not much room to move around the bed. TV didnt work but Manager cvame and sorted it out, but was inconvenient to need someone to do that late at night. Too many flights of stairs and no lift very bad situation for me of mature years.

Review 84：Good for those enjoying nightlife as in a fun spot

Review 85：We were given a room with a sea view, we were advised that being at the front we may here road noise, this was an understatement..the noise from the cafe/bar (part of the hotel) was noisy until 4am , i mistakenly thought it was a night club.we managed 3hrs sleep until we were woken by the street cleaning team at 7am. Sunday evening was no better as the street was still noisy and guests checking in at 12-30 at night were chatting outside our room with the hotel staff...a total waist of time trying to sleep, Monday morning we left at 8 am, two nights of pure misery and unbelievably WE PAID.

Review 86：Very clean room and spotless bathroom.

Review 87：There is no hotel parking and the nearest is £14.00 for 24 hours, there is nothing between that and 12 hours. here is a pub very near which played very loud music until he early hours with noisy clientele in the street accompanies by fighting.

Review 88：The staff were friendly and welcoming, the hotel was clean as was the room and the overall hotel appeared to be recently decorated or renovated.

Review 89：The noise of local bars and nightclubs is appalling..this is a young peoples hotel at night..if there was triple glazing it would help but then A/C is essential. The soundproofing is substandard to block the noise of revelling guests from disturbing other guests on their way back to rooms at 3. AM

Review 90：The best thing about The Oak is it's wonderful staff..right across the board from reception/management to housekeeping..great people

Review 91：a party was book in with blaring music until gone midnight giving then value for money whilst i wasted mine because i wasn't allowed to sleep when i wanted to because of them.either book the party and no guests or guests and no party,not both.

Review 92：the hotel was very nice and clean

Review 93：Front rooms may be noisy.

Review 94：Perfect position, very clean and comfortable. We requested a quiet room and were given one. An ideal hotel to use as a base. We were there for The British Ladies Open and it was perfect.

Review 95：No mention on check in of a ticket for the local car park, resulting in receiving a ticket as parking is free Saturday but you have to start paying from 0700 on Sunday.

Review 96：Location and amenities. Location overlooking the harbour provided a nice view.

Review 97：Pillows a bit hard. Shame we were looking onto a wall but we were only there for 1 night so understand!

Review 98：Friendly service at the desk & by night man. Good facilities in twin room. Nice cosmetics. Large towels.

Review 99：Our visit on a Saturday night was spoilt by the noise from the adjacent night club and the people outside the night club and hotel. The music stopped at 3.00 a.m. and the people outside had dispersed by 3.30 a.m. but it was impossible to sleep before this. Our room was at the front of the hotel at the end next to the night club. There was no double glazing. When we booked the hotel we chose a room at the front because of the view which was excellent but the noise undermined all of this. We were not warned about the noise and we were unprepared for it. We were not advised about the problem when we checked in nor were we offered another room. We were visiting a relative until 11.15 and when we returned to the hotel the lobby was unmanned. We will not stay here again. It may be that this problem only occurs on a Saturday night but I would advise anybody to check about this before they book a room at this hotel.
