Village Hotel Maidstone

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel. Staff were great. Very reasonably priced."

King Charles Hotel

8/10 Good

"The rooms are clean and comfortable. The bathroom needed a bit of refurbishment. We ordered room service and the restaurant meals were very good. Breakfast was good with a range of cooked choices given as well as the continental option included. Staff were all extremely helpful."

Holiday Inn London-Bexley by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great weekend stay to attend sports events (Olympic stadium and Brands Hatch) perfectly located for driving to both. Room spotless and perfect for our family (2 x A, 1 x C). Great parking, barrier controlled, with lots of space. Breakfast very good, hot, plentiful and a wide choice. Other food options don’t suit us but we were able to order in and although we had to eat in our room staff were happy to provide plates and cutlery. All staff were helpful and friendly and our room was clean and very comfortable. Due to layout some rooms quite far (round 3 long corridors) from the lift, this wasn’t an issue for us but could be for some. We had a great stay and will certainly return in the future."

"Staff were exceptional"

Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel

8/10 Good

"We stayed for two nights and unfortunately had to swap rooms due to other guests being a little inconsiderate. First room was very basic but okay for just having somewhere to sleep. The second room was definitely an upgrade, quieter park of the hotel, more space in the room and choices on TV was better. Staff were amazing though out and nothing was too much trouble. Would happily stay here again (on the quieter side) and recommend to family and friends"

Royal Wells Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a "newer" room at the back of the hotel overlooking my favourite pub, the Beau Nash Tavern. The room was comfortable, clean, quiet, and well-appointed. As a new room it was shoe-horned into the existing property so getting to my room was pretty funny as the path from the front desk to it was convoluted in an entertaining sort of way (people enjoyed the video on my Instagram!). I had dinner and breakfast in the dining room, both were excellent too. The staff were all friendly and helpful. I would stay here again."
