The Falstaff – The Book Hotel

The Falstaff opens a new chapter as The Book Hotel.

First recorded as a public house in 1801, The Falstaff has stood watch over Ramsgate’s West Cliff through storm and sunshine for over two hundred years. This Grade II listed building, nestled in the heart of the town’s creative quarter on Addington Street, carries within its walls the spirit of a seaside town rich in character and history.

Hotel Rooms


Our hotel rooms are located within the main Falstaff building, each offering a comfortable retreat. You’ll find a variety of room types spread across different floors, providing a unique perspective of our heritage property.

Self-Catering Apartments

For those seeking more space and independence, our two separate 2-bedroom apartments are an ideal choice. These offer the convenience of self-catering facilities, providing a home-away-from-home experience perfect for families or longer stays.

The Book Hotel

The Book Hotel is a destination where the love of books infuses everything. Browse the shelves of our independent bookshop, take a seat in the kitchen with a novel and a flat white, linger over a glass of wine as the harbour lights come on, or join an author event in our intimate reading room.

Book Shop

Nestled by the hotel’s bar and café, the bookshop offers a core range of books that will grow with input from our local book-loving community.

Alongside general fiction and non-fiction, there will be a focus on books about writing and writers for guests visiting for retreats, festivals, and events. Drawing on Tales on Moon Lane’s children’s expertise , we’ll also have a vibrant children’s section.

Activities :

Books & Bar Nights (every Friday & Saturday, 6:00-9:00pm). For more information on activities, see the Visit Ramsgate Monthly Events Calendar or check The Book Hotel’s website and social media.
