Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The Crescent Turner Hotel is praised for its beautiful views, especially of the sea and sunsets, easily enjoyed from spacious rooms and terraces. The location is convenient, placing guests within a short drive to Whitstable town and high street. While the well-cooked and presented breakfasts are a highlight, some guests have noted the afternoon tea might not meet expectations in terms of quality and service. many find the hotel a clean and comfortable base for exploring the area.

the staff was friendly. the breakfast service was attentive and quick. we felt welcomed during our meal. the hotel location provided great views.
the room was small, especially for two people. the wardrobe door was hard to open due to the bed's position. this made accessing clothes difficult! parking was limited and sometimes blocked the entrance.

Understaffed and Overlooked

clean roomunderstaffed hotel
The room was clean upon arrival, which I suppose is the bare minimum one expects.
The place seemed understaffed. Waiting for coffee reminded me of an eternity, and when it finally arrived, I had finished my meal. Breakfast took 45 minutes, and even the checkout process involved a 15-minute wait since no one was at reception.
