At The Glenwood Hotel, guests describe a basic budget stay with notably friendly, accommodating staff, though experiences vary, with clean rooms for some and issues like weak Wi-Fi, dated fittings, and occasional maintenance problems for others.
Location is generally walkable to the beach, shops and cafes, though a few note the surrounding streets feel untidy or it can be a longer walk than expected. Room comfort is mixed, with reports of hot spaces without AC, thin windows, street or seagull noise, and occasional TV or power issues. Expect a no-frills base where price leads, but amenities and upkeep can be hit-or-miss.

We travelled down late and the reception is not 24hour through the week but they stayed open so we could check in after 11pm. Half the price of the Premier-Inn which didn't offer anything more than The Glenwood.

My first impression was good, the hotel is kept clean and the staff is very kind and welcoming. I was travelling alone and appreciate a lovely chat which they made time for. I rented a car to drive and there is plenty of free parking in the street. The hotel isn't a new building and has a nice, authentic smell. The state of my room was all right for a few nights, with a closer look some things could use a little attention. In the room the tv didn't work properly and the wifi was on and off. The neighborhood is lovely, it's a short walk to Margate high street, a lot of lovely cafes, charity shops and the beach. I had a lovely few days (wish there was more sun😊) and would possibly come again.

Very nice welcome. The room was at the back and it was ok. Just to hot - no air condition, not able to open the window. In the toilet can feel smell of dump, window very dirty and horrible view on the walls of other buildings, roof and sewage pipes. Otherwise good and quiet. Parking on the street at the front of hotel.

It was fine but overpriced for what it was - £100 for a very basic family room. No bath plug, 1 hanger in the wardrobe. No WiFi in bedrooms. Everything a bit tired. But the staff were nice and friendly.

I didn’t expect a luxury hotel, I knew it would be something basic. Bed was comfortable, we appreciated that someone waited for us to check in 10.20pm. But we were woken up by the people emptying bins outside on the street on the first morning. Windows are old so you can hear any single noise. Cleaning could have been better.

The hotel and bedroom are nice. However, there were a mouldy shower mat which would rather prefer not to have it. Also, should be AC unit in the bedroom as in summer gets hot quickly and got to keep it open in order to have a decent night sleep. Unfortunately, was not possible to sleep properly as the noise of seagulls at all times at night was a lot, but as mentioned we had to keep the window open and let air the bedroom.

The staff were really nice and let us leave our bags in the staff office before we checked in. The hotel's shared spaces seemed clean, but we didn't really use them. However, the room was unclean - with marks on the sheets and on the carpet, there was an empty crisp packet under the bed and other rubbish that hadn't been cleared. There was a tiny window, which meant the room was hot. The door was very flimsy and I didn't feel particularly safe in there. The walls are very thin and you can hear very clearly the rooms around you and people walking through the hall. The bathroom also didn't feel particularly clean and we were only given one towel even though we specified there were two people staying. It would've been fine if it had been cheaper, but it wasn't worth the money we paid. I'm not usually someone to complain in a review, but it fell below most of our expectations for hotel rooms.

Our room was checked in before we even arrived. Meaning we had to use a different room. The room was very hot and uncomfortable to sleep in due to having no ac or fans. The bathroom was not kept to a good standard. Missing fitments for lights. No toiletries like shampoo or shower gel, we had to source our own. We didn’t have any house keeping. We had to use the same towels, and bed sheets each day.

I have stayed at the Glenwood Hotel on a few occasions and found them to be very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a peaceful and comfortable stay with friendly and helpful staff. Only down point is they do not do breakfasts.

Good value, and decent rooms. Shower didn't really spray water - though friends said those in their rooms were fine. Shampoo or showergel in bathroom would be nice - I didn't enjoy washing my hair with soap. And curtains let in daylight so bright that I could read a book without switching on the lamp.

The first time I have stayed at the Glenwood and I was impressed it was being refurbished but my room had been completed. It was room only but the owner told me there was two cafes near by which was handy to know. Pretty central to old town and the beach but also handy for Dreamland if your seeing any concerts. If your not seeing any concerts then its far away so you don't hear any noise. The host was very nice he let me watch the women's world cup in his front room before I checked out

The hotel was fine for a night away. But it was a ok hotel in a shanty town part of Margate. That's not the hotels fault. It looks like the area would have been the place to be many years ago.

A very welcome arrival. Room was well fitted out and clean. Close to shops and cafes. Street parking but got a space right outside. Just right for a quick stay.

Very rundown looking. No breakfast which was advertised. The bed was clean and there was a heater as the radiator didn't work.

This was a very well located budget option. The staff were all very friendly and the room was comfortable and quiet. Nice cocktail bar/ burrito place called Daisy just around the corner.

Staff were amazingly friendly, the rooms warm and clean. I booked for an overnight stay, came late and left early and so the room was appropriate. Theres a cafe a minute walk at the bottom of the road for breakfast, and walking distance to the sea. I

The first time I have stayed at the Glenwood and I was impressed it was being refurbished but my room had been completed. It was room only but the owner told me there was two cafes near by which was handy to know. Pretty central to old town and the beach but also handy for Dreamland if your seeing any concerts. If your not seeing any concerts then its far away so you don't hear any noise. The host was very nice he let me watch the women's world cup in his front room before I checked out

I have stayed at the Glenwood Hotel on a few occasions and found them to be very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and comfortable. I would recommend this hotel to anyone who wants a peaceful and comfortable stay with friendly and helpful staff. Only down point is they do not do breakfasts.

Happy with the hotel, clean and tidy. Heating wasn't working but Manager ensured we had a electric heater to keep warm. Surrounding area is very untidy and rubbish over the streets which was a shame

A friendly low budget hotel. Rooms are clean and beds are comfortable however it’s all a little dated. That said it’s secure and budget friendly
