What guests think

At The Royal Oak Hotel, travellers praise the harbourfront setting with views and access to the beach, bars, and buses, along with friendly staff, while noting that rooms range from spacious to basic and the decor can feel dated.

A recurring drawback is late-night noise from neighbouring bars and clubs, sometimes until 3–4am, though back-facing rooms are reported to be quieter. Facilities are limited: no on-site dining or regular breakfast service, no on-site parking (nearby parking is paid), and no lift with steep stairs; air conditioning is absent or unreliable. Cleanliness is generally good, though housekeeping can be inconsistent; overall, expect a lively location and basic comfort rather than a quiet, modern stay.

New owners are still working out the kinks. Rooms were nor serviced. The restaurant was not yet ready to provide a breakfast, but there are plenty of eating places nearby. The room's heating didn't work, so the first night was quit cold, but a floor heater was provided.

Really great location, walkable to bars/restaurants/beach etc. No parking so this can be difficult to find for overnight. Rooms were huge, clean, basic. Great view if front facing. Downside for the location was the noise. The bars were noisy until 3am, so wouldnt recommend for a quiet get away. However this didnt bother us too much.

Lovely view over the harbour. Room was clean but lacked storage space. There wasn't a hairdryer. Very convenient for town centre. Breakfast wasn't included but there were a few places in the town for breakfast. Parking was quite expensive but it is possible to park at Asda for around £6 day.

Paid for a superior room got a room with no dressing table, Sofa had stains on it (From god knows what) Bed ok. No dining facilities, No bar, 3rd Floor no lift, One key card and needs to be used inside hotel corridors, Front desk not manned, No room makeover or replenishment, dry towels, tea coffee etc unless asked for - again nobody on front desk and the view from a superior room is brickwork and seagull dung. Def will not use again and many better options about. Just don't bother unless you want to rent a room for an hour - maybe that explains the stains on the sofa

Nice people and good hotel with fantastic location. No one was at the front desk when I tried to check in though and my foreign phone was not working correctly so I could not call the number posted to call if no one was there to let you in. That is more on me for not being tech-savvy, but it was a fine place overall

When we arrived young man on reception was very nonchalant, just gave us key and told us about door lock after certain time , room was very dusty , dirty toilet , tea in cups , kettle dirty , previous persons shower toiletries in shower , on way out told young man at desk he said ok will get it done , still not done when we came back in evening, spoke to hotel owner on desk and he checked an app apparently and said room had missed being cleaned !!!! , I did wonder if bed had been changed at all too 😬, yuk !! Room would be lovely if up to spec and cleaned , beautiful views , but sadly hotel doors away from pub/club which played booming music till 4am ! , So if you like a restful sleep not hotel for you ,!!

Great welcome, staff very helpful, room ready early. Room 101 nice view across the harbour very spacious. Bathroom dated but clean and shower was excellent. No mirror near plug socket to dry your hair, however we were loaned a free standing one from reception. Only thing that let this room down was the bed it was uncomfortable and very creaky however the pillows were comfortable and the bed linen spotlessly clean.

The room was basic, a little dated and musty, and consisted of a decent bed, a bedside table and a narrow corridor at the foot of the bed with a small to the small but adequate toilet/shower, there was a small windows at the end of this corridor making the room very dark and pokey If you are out on the seafront, particularly if you are out lat epartying on the seafronts, with many bars and clubs the convenience is amazing, and this is likely their target market. But you wouldn't want to spend time in the room outside of sleeping and showering.

Stayed here for four nights. Room was comfortable, a little warm, but we had a fan. Bathroom was a bit dated but facilities were fine. Reception staff were lovely - really friendly, fun and helpful. Made us feel welcome. When we were missing milk/tea/loo roll from our room, tbey resolved it immediately. The housekeeping was a little erratic, hence the missing items. Shaver socket didn't work properly when I tried to charge my toothbrush. Having said that, it was good value for money. We were happy enough there and the location could not be bettered - right on the Harbour and very near the beach. Shame there is no breakfast but plenty of cafes nearby. The car park opposite was horribly expensive but we found a multistorey nearby at less than half that price.

Location

Harbourfront and close to the beach, restaurants, bars, and bus links, with scenic views from many rooms. The trade-off is substantial nightlife noise from nearby venues, often lasting until 3–4am; back-facing rooms are quieter.

Nice location as right next to the harbour, but I hadn't realised it was next to a noisy bar. This meant we had very loud music and noise disturbance until gone 4am. This, together with a VERY rowdy and noisy guest outside our room after 4am made for a sleepless and thoroughly unenjoyable stay unfortunately.

The hotel is right on the harbour and we had a sea view looking out on all the boats and yatchs lite up at night. The lovely sandy beach is just a short stroll beyond the harbour which also houses the pavilion for food and drinks from breakfast right up to supper with fairy lights on the balcony.you can actually walk all the way around the harbour in full circle.the buses at the harbour run every 8 mins clockwise and anticlockwise serving Ramsgate, Margate and Broadstairs so you can catch them all in one trip. Didn't opt for the breakfast so I can't comment on that but the staff we meet were really friendly and helpful.

The hotel was ok per se, but the reason I have given it an overall rating of “Terrible” is because I got virtually no sleep as the hotel is surrounded by bars and clubs with very late licenses. I booked an Economy Double Room for one night’s stay when we came to the area for a family event. I went to bed just before midnight, but, even though our room was on the third floor, the volume of the thumping drum & bass music coming from the bars kept me awake until it eventually stopped at about 4 a.m. I was then kept awake until about 5 a.m. by the noise of the remaining customers who were continuing to enjoy their evening out. I think it is unfair for the hotel to offer accommodation to people in the knowledge that they are going to be badly affected by the noise from its licensed neighbours. I would strongly advise anyone intending to book accommodation at this hotel with the expectation of a quiet stay to think twice.
