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 .

Lovely staff and clean but very noisy

Lovely staff, good food and clean but very noisy from road outside and had the worst pillows I’ve ever had so not the best nights sleeps, needs descent windows…

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!

Great rooms in town centre pub; in the midst of shops and lots of eating places. As a result, slightly noisy, but bearable

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
