Great place to stay
Lovely setting, you become part of history as the building and the square has so much history. Breakfast was freshly cooked and you had many choices if you did not fancy a full English. Ramsgate is a piece of France in the UK with a lovely harbour and fine restaurants to be found. Ramsgate has a lot history and lovely buildings that date back many hundreds of years. Great bus service to plan days in neighbouring villages and towns.

Spencer court August 2025
Location was great and Gary was friendly enough. Everything else more or less what one would expect from the cheapest option available. However I was right at the top and the final short staircase is very steep narrow and twisted and on the way to the shower on Saturday morning I fell and wretched my arm trying to break my fall.

Experience at Spencer Court Hotel
The place cannot be described as a hotel. It is a B&B and a pretty basic one. The building itself was very rundown and in need of renovation. Our room had a nice view and a comfortable bed but we did not like the idea of the sink being in the actual bedroom instead of the bathroom. There was only a cupboard to hang clothes but no drawer space. We think it is misrepresented on your site as stating having a garden and free self parking. This implies that the hotel has parking facilities but it was just actually street parking. All in all not a great experience.

Shared bathroom not ideal and up 2 flights of stairs. Condition of furniture in room poor. Cup and saucer and all the condiments to make a hot drink hut NO kettle. Room decor really poor. The only good thing was yound lad making and serving the breakfasts in the morning and doing it solo. He is a credit to spencer court. The breakfast was also very good.

Not returning …….. Ever
Worse bed ever slept in each movement the metal frame and cheap mattress squeaked and creaked . There’s something disgusting in the sink plug hole! We had breakfast included but was told fully booked how can that be surely you supply enough for the number of rooms that are occupied

Somewhere to crash for the night
This hotel/b&b was ok for the money, friendly host who was accommodating with check in and showed me to my room. Room was basic but had everything you need for a quick overnight stay.

Memorable for all the wrong reasons
Stayed with the purpose of doing the Pegwell bay parkrun the following day. The bed was noisy and old. Creaked with ever move. And despite my partner and I both being slim we sort of dipped into the middle of the bed.
To add insult to injury one of the other (less savoury guests) were shouting their heads off at 4am and as a finale pee’d out the window directly outside of our window…. We could literally smell it.
Definately a memorable experience, though defo not one id want to repeat.

Nice location with near by bus route of Thanet.
Loved the view over park. Centre of Spencer close and tennis courts. Lovely and clean with 2 comfortable chairs in the room. A little concerned about the condition of the decking for the small balcony. The kettle lead did not reach the plug from dressing table. 14 steep stairs. To help with this a hand rail is required.
