Royal Temple Yacht Club

I was worried we wouldn’t find anything nice enough for our birthday celebration in Ramsgate but was pleasantly surprised by the Royal Temple Yacht Club. The harbour view room was huge and the bed was huge too! The view was fantastic, as were the staff and service. Lovely large bar area and outside terrace with private steps down to the harbour and town. Walking distance to everything, they don’t offer breakfast but recommended ‘Ship Shape’ cafe under the arches just in front of the hotel which was great, full English breakfast and tea/coffee for £6.50. The only downside was the pillows weren’t to our liking but we are fussy! Bathroom was clean and stocked with toiletries, room had tea, coffee and biscuits. Multi storey car park at the back was literally just steps from the back door and only £8.50 for 24 hours. Would definitely come back and recommend to anyone especially if you like a maritime theme. Special thanks to ‘Dee’ for being so welcoming.

Have to say the room we had was pretty basic drab painted walls and wallpaper that could have done with sticking down. The shower was good. However the staff made up for it as they were very welcoming and the bar was good. Would stay again but not in room 5

Lovely room with everything you need for a short stay,good selection of tea and coffee and hot chocolate. Convenient parking in the multi storey car park directly opposite the rear of the hotel.Only drawback is access via lots of steps and stairs but worth it if you can manage

The lady on arrival was helpful and friendly. The room was large and airy and lovely and clean (Psst room 5 the bathroom fan does needs a good dust though). Booked last minute and were at the back of the hotel, so the view wasn't anything to get excited about. Nice bar down stairs (shuts early) with lovely patio over looking the harbour. Only down side was the noisy seagulls that started at 5am. Followed by the bin men at 6am (Monday). Gulls and bin men not the RTYC's fault. Seagulls are all part of being by the sea! We have a new favourite place to stay, when in Ramsgate. What's more it's great value for money.

Lovely place to stay, good value for money, rooms clean and fantastic harbour view. But no good if you want a decent nights sleep. Kept awake until 03:00 in the morning due to live music coming from the Mariner's Bar a few blocks away (finished at midnight) and then further music and noise coming from somewhere out in the harbour. Worst night's sleep I've had in years.

Great hotel, big room with comfy beds, couldn’t fault the hotel, the lady who was on duty, when we arrived, she was fantastic, friendly chatty just an all round nice lady, (shame about the grumpy cleaner when leaving you couldn’t even get a good morning off her) but don’t let that put you off, I will definitely be back, £70 for the one night I booked was great value, personally I would of still been happy if it was £100 for the stay after all the Travelodge wanted £155 for the same date,
