The Marine Hotel Restaurant in Canterbury

My wife and I plus the dog spent a couple of nights here. It was great, all the staff couldn’t have been more helpful, the food was great, and the rooms/hotel were clean, very pleasant and it’s a great location right on the sea front. We can’t praise it highly enough.

A fantastic stay! Excellent receptionist Jackie and The Manager couldn't do enough for us. I took my 82 year old Mother to stay and we had a great little break. Food, especially the fish was so tasty-well done chefs. Bar, restaurant and breakfast team were polite, cheerful and professional. Rooms were so warm, the most comfy bed I've ever slept in, clean and airy-thank you housekeeping staff. We thoroughly enjoyed our mini-break and as a local to Whitstable I thoroughly recommend The Marine. Thank you everyone for all your hard work.

Nice location with sea views.Friendly staff, the receptionist was a great start.Good food, top quality breakfast.Large, clean room, comfy beds.Good value for money.Only issue I’d the air on/heating is a bit noisy.

Having booked a table for lunch we were shown to it and presented with the lunch menu and wine list. My wife chose the vegetarian risotto while I was drawn to the steak. I had never heard of this type of steak and cannot remember what it was called. I asked our waitress who informed me that it was a similar cut to rump steak. She advised iw was best served medium/rare as any more cooking could make hit tough. I ordered the steak, chips, tomato, mushroom and rocket as recommended.My wife enjoyed her leek and mushroom risotto lthough it did lack a little seasoning.I tried to cut my steak with the dinner knife that I was given but had to ask for a steak knife. Whilst the steak knife did enable me to cut the steak my teeth found it more of a challenge! I can't remember the last time I had such a tough steak.On the positive side, the rest was fine and so we're the deserts that we chose.So, yes give it a visit, try the food, but avoid any steak that you have never heard of!

My daughter and son in law recently had their wedding reception at the Marine hotel. The staff made their day so special. Very accommodating and excellent customer service. The wedding breakfast was absolutely brilliant, everyone loved what they had to eat and we were all looked after so well. Many of the guests stayed and we were treated to a lovely breakfast in the morning. My husband and i regularly go to the Marine hotel for coffee or lunch. The location overlooking the sea is beautiful.

I came here for dinner with friends and we couldn't have had a better experience. My friend's mother has food allergies which the kitchen were happy to accommodate and presented a beautiful dish of fish and salad. They also accommodated a two year old toddler by making the tastiest mac and cheese dinner; delivered swiftly and with care. The beef burger is absolutely divine and possibly one of the best burgers I have ever had in my life. It was mouth watering, full of flavor and made with such care. I will easily be coming back here again for dinner. The restaurant is also dog friendly which was a massive advantage.

Perfect room. Nothing too much trouble for such friendly staff. Used hotel restaurant for both nights and was excellent. Room overlooked sea and had a balcony. Both days able to watch the park run and junior Park run. Ideal to drive into hernebay for grandson to go in arcades. Just perfect. Planning next visit

5* service 5* mealWe have not been for a meal at the marine hotel since the refurbishment and what lovely decor it wasWe were served by Maisie who has worked there for a few years and really knew her wines and all the details from the menu.She was very accommodating when we asked her if we could swap and change certain items on our main’s (this is something that is often frowned upon these days). Maisie you get a well deserved 10 out of 10.We received service from 3 staff members who each had their own welcoming professional manor. OUTSTANDING!We both opted for the Chicken liver & Brandy Parfait. Beautifully presented and totally delicious.For the Mains I enjoyed The Picanha steak that was cooked to perfection, had a great flavour and was exceptionally tender. My daughter went for the British Lamb rump which is a Chef's Special and I can understand why. It was superb.So for presentation of the food 10 out of 10For the quality and flavour of all of the meals yet again another 10 out of 10.We will definitely be returning with family and would recommend anyone near or far to pop in for a drink or a fantastic meal
