Its History and location to the beach
Did not get checked until 5:30 and had a restless 8 year old with us. We then did not receive the call we were told we would get when the room was ready.
A rather expensive room for…
MarkUnited StatesGreat facilities and location.
Families playing football and throwing balls in the pool. Kept hitting everyone.
Staff did nothing.
GabrielleUnited StatesIt was nice
It was nice that it was on beach.
Room was tiny and outdated. Stairs were a lot with a stroller and kids.
DaveTunSEVENOAKS, SEVENOAKS DISTRICT, KENT, ENGLANDLovely Hotel.
This is an iconic hotel, great location, beautiful beach, great staff.
The pool area is very nice, and the pool bar staff are exceptionally nice guys.
The main bar is a very nice ambiance but not cheap!

- That the step-free room is actually free on your dates, and whether it is a roll-in shower or a bath, which the listing never says.
- That the desk is staffed when you land, and that the room is held past cut-off.
- The pet fee and any size limit, which is where these bookings usually come apart.
- Whether there is room for a pickup, a trailer or a van, not just a car.

Questions about The Don CeSar
What time is check-in and check-out at The Don CeSar?
Check-in is from 4:00 PM. Check-out is by 11:00 AM. If you're arriving late, tell us and we'll ask the property to hold the room.
Does The Don CeSar allow pets?
No — the property states that pets are not allowed.
Is there parking at The Don CeSar?
Yes — parking is available on site at a charge the property sets. We check the rate and whether a space can be reserved against your dates.
Does The Don CeSar have a pool?
Yes — a pool is listed among the property's facilities. Seasonal closures are common, so we'll confirm it's open for your dates.
Is breakfast included at The Don CeSar?
Breakfast is offered at the property. Whether it's included depends on the rate — the board type is shown on each room once you put your dates in.
Does The Don CeSar have Wi-Fi?
Yes — internet access is listed among the property's facilities.
Can I book a block of rooms at The Don CeSar?
The property lists meeting and banquet space, which usually means it handles group business — but how many rooms it will hold at once, for how long, and at what rate are set case by case and are not in any feed. Tell us the dates and the number of rooms and we'll get those terms from the property in writing before anything is charged.
Does The Don CeSar have wheelchair accessible rooms?
The property lists step-free or accessible facilities. That flag is the one least able to settle the question: a hotel can carry it and still have a step at the entrance, or a bath rather than a roll-in shower, and it does not say whether the accessible room is free on your dates. Tell us what you need and we'll ask the property directly rather than reading you the flag.
Can I check in late at The Don CeSar?
The property lists a front desk staffed 24 hours, so a late arrival should be possible. Standard check-in is from 4:00 PM. Rooms are still released after a cut-off at some properties regardless of the desk hours, so tell us your arrival time and we'll have them hold it.
How do I book The Don CeSar?
Put your dates in above and book online, or call (888) 789-8585 and we'll do it for you — including things a booking form can't handle, like a block of rooms, a monthly rate or an invoice for your employer.
