We loved our weekend , the hotel was in a great location . Facilities staff and food were wonderful . The only downside was the constant traffic noise at night until early hours of the morning . This is probably the busy bank holiday weekend .

Really enjoyed our stay at the Duke of Cumberland! We’ve been coming to Whitstable for years and are pleased to see that this great pub has finally been given some TLC. Whitstable was definitely in need of a nice boutique hotel in the centre of town!

I was very impressed with the room, it was spacious, clean and modern. The location was perfect, the pub downstairs had a great vibe, and the breakfast was 5/5. The only small thing I would say is it’s quite noisy outside, which you would expect from that location as it’s so central. Thank you for a great stay, I’ll definitely visit again.

Lovely hotel,room decor was lovely,clean and had all that we needed ,central to Whitstable and very close to seafront ,hotel staff excellent ,only downside is no on site parking and the main car parks are a bit pricey ,so if you can find a space in one of the side streets and not to far to walk to hotel .

Superb hotel, room was excellent quality newly decorated, great shower, even a couple beers included. Staff very friendly, breakfast I had English day 1, eggs Florentine day 2 and a salmon cream cheese and chives bap day 3, all included in the rate. There are very few hotel options in Whitstable and this must be the best. Right by beach, short walk to harbour, middle of the shopping street full of small boutiques. Highly recommended. Be aware there are steep steps to the bedrooms!

I thought it was quite expensive for what it was. The room was nicely decorated but small. Quite hard to understand that it was advertised as a family room, as if there were 4 people in it you would not be able to turn around. It was really a small twin room but charged at considerably more than a double. A bit noisy and only limited bedding - a sheet and a single blanket meant we found ourselves bit cold at night. No extra blankets in the cupboard.

Great stay at the Duke of Cumberland . Great location in central Whitstable but this did mean we heard road noise in the early mornings. if we were to stay again we would ask for a quieter room. However, the room itself Emmeline, couldn’t have been nicer, beautifully decorated and spotlessly clean. A small fridge in the room would have made it perfect. Staff was really friendly. Breakfast excellent with plenty of choice. No parking at the hotel itself but plenty of car parks nearby - hotel gives you details of these. If you’re prepared to walk a bit further you can park cheaply at the co op at the bottom of the high street using the parking app.

Really charming place to stay! Perfect for a weekend. Staff were brilliant and attentive and breakfast was great! Just to note we did get woken up a bit early by a drinks delivery for the pub underneath but wasn’t too bad
