The location is very convenient for the railway station and (excellent) local winebars and restaurants. The rooms are tastefully decorated and well equipped. We liked the espresso coffee bar on the first floor landing, supplemented by a carafe of cognac. And the food is exceptionally good. If you take the breakfast option you have the run of the menu, including the best eggs benedict, all freshly made to order. So no scambling to make the best of a breakfast buffet depleted by early risers. Lunch and dinner offer truly excellent dishes. Staff are both friendly and helpful and genuinely go out of their way to make your stay comfortable and memorable. We loved it.

At first we were given a rather cramped room with no TV and little clothes hanging space. We also failed to recognise that the modern heating system actually needed to be turned on via valves of a kind I can't remember needing to use since the 60s. But once activated the heating was very effective. Staff remedied all problems with little prompting and relocated us for no extra charge, to our entire satisfaction. That's the way to do it!

Wonderful high street location, glorious interiors, we stayed in room 4 which was just amazing and had a huge bath and shower too, the food was great when it got it right.

No nappy bin in the baby changing toilet was poor. Some of the food was disappointing- a huge deal given that this is a massive selling point of the hotel. We asked for an extra towel which they said they’d bring up immediately but it never came. Some staff members were a bit cold rather than the full on warmth that I really appreciate when staying somewhere so special. No papers available in the morning which I would have expected. No dimmer switch for the bathroom so couldn’t have a super restful/atmospheric bath which was a shame.

The Rose is such a beautiful hotel - I'd wanted to visit for a long time and took the opportunity to stay in Deal after a friend's wedding in Sandwich. I was very much not disappointed, we had a really brilliant stay - the hotel is in a great location, very close to the seafront and on a lovely high street full of independent shops. We enjoyed a cocktail in the bar in the evening and the breakfast in the morning (with excellent bloody mary!) is fantastic.

A great boutique hotel, lovely rooms and garden terrace. The staff were amazing, we had dinner in the restaurant and some of our friends had some food intolerance requests. The staff could not be more helpful and the food was delicious all round. I would definitely recommend this hotel and stay for dinner. Thank you for looking after us

The only thing which could have improved our stay would be a quicker turnaround at breakfast.

The staff were professional and efficient, the rooms were clean, beds were comfy. The food was wonderful, we were a party of 6, we had 2 breakfasts and 2 dinners, there were no complaints at all, all cooked to a very high standard.

We booked 3 rooms, 2 standard and 1 larger, the smaller rooms had no tv, the larger had a curtain instead of a door to the bathroom.

we’ve been flowing The Rose on social media and always wanted to go. fell in love with the place straight away. The hotel is gorgeous. the staff were super friendly with great service. we had dinner at the hotel and found the food and drink to be good value loved the room and the small touches like the record player and brandy perfect for the night cap. will be going again and again.

only thing was the coffee machine in the morning but that’s probably because I’m useless at these things.

the atmosphere and personal service was wonderful - as was the breakfast and cheeky complimentary brandy

water didn't get very hot - only one large towel per person - should have had feminine hygiene etc in the bathroom, pointless ugly fan in room

The Rose is in a lovely old pub building which is centrally located on the high street and around two minutes from the beach. The hotel has real character and the rooms are well decorated which great facilities such as a very comfortable bed and a great shower. staff were friendly and efficient.

The rooms are on the small side and in future if I stayed I would book direct and request a specific room as that appears to be the preferred way to book. the breakfast while really good was a little overdone when all you really want is either some bacon and eggs or just a bacon roll with ketchup.

Breakfast was superb - delicious and beautifully presented. I know Deal well already and like it as my mother and sister live here.

Would have liked more choice for the tea and cake as I had invited guests to join me and there was only one choice of cake which 2 of us did not want. Heating in my room (6) did not come on until 8.20am and as I wake early ( 6am ish) I was cold so would prefer it came on earlier.

Loved the aesthetic, had wanted to stay at The Rose for a long time and it didn’t disappoint. We had dinner at the restaurant and the food and cocktails were exceptional.

There was nothing we didn’t like about the property, we were a little disappointed with the breakfast as dinner was good. I had the egg Benedict and my poached eggs were very over cooked and potato rosti was tiny.
