Holiday Inn Express Ramsgate – Minster by IHG

Despite being told that we would be allocated a room on the ground floor we were placed on the second !; It was no great problem tho as we were quite near the elevator; (One can "ALWAYS" find something to moan about if you look hard enough & there are thoes who do!) The room heating did NOT work and we were given a portable heater; having been offerd a room change we opted to stay where we were as we had unpacked being there for four days; Staff were excellent and nothing was too much trouble for them; Breakfast was like all the other expresse's we have stayed in, was excallent with a great varity of fresh well cooked and presented options (No fried eggs unfortunatly as with the rect of the chain)

Staff is extremely helpful, serving and always ready to help. Breakfast is very great! Check-out is at 11!! Which gives you plenty of time to get ready! We do love the location and a 10 min drive to the beach is a pleasure since there is no traffic and you just drive through the field. MCDonalds is 3 min away by walk from the hotel and mini-Asda store as well: so, if you get hungry at night, you can easily walk to McDonalds. We stayed in more expensive hotels but honestly: it is cleaness and welcoming of staff that make your stay nice and pleasant. So far, we liked it!

The location is perfect for a short break for Kent coast with beautiful sandy beaches. We took our dog and the staff were very accommodating with her.

The room was clean and tidy ,looked like it was cleaned everyday, bed was made daily. There was heating that I could adjust to my liking. Breakfast and coffee made a great start to day was always hot and perfectly cooked. Staff were polite and helpful. Plenty of parking there, although I wasn't driving on this trip. Inside building and outside very clean and free from any litter. Also liked how quiet it was. I could not hear the main road that it was on. Ideally situated for the places I had to visit.

Two comfortable nights here. The room was pretty standard for this level of hotel which was absolutely fine. Although the room faced onto the busy A229 it was surprisingly quiet. Bathroom all good and the shower was easy to operate. Breakfast was as you'd expect, and with a reasonable range of options.
