Top University of Kent Hotel Reviews

St. Stephens Guest House

10/10 Excellent

"I’m so pleased we chose this place for our weekend away. We were greeted by Sandra, who was incredibly warm and welcoming, and she showed us to our room, which was spotless and a great size for two people. We were given our own keys, so we could come and go whenever we liked. The guest house had a lovely, homely feel and was peaceful throughout our stay, making it the perfect place to relax. The location is excellent too—just a 10–15 minute riverside walk into the city centre, making it ideal for exploring the shops and local attractions. I would highly recommend staying here."

The Falstaff Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel as you enter is lovely, a cosy vibe and friendly welcome from staff. Lots of seating area for drinks by the bar. We stayed in a junior suite which was decorated lovely, bathroom was great with robes and nice soaps (only thing I’d recommend changing is the floor in bathroom which looked oddly cheap compared to everything else). Lovely tea and coffee facilities with biscuits is a nice addition for when you get back from a day out. Happy hour with complimentary cheese and biscuits is a fab idea and the espresso martinis were nice. Only downsides that took the shine off things, one was the TV didn’t have apps or phone casting even though it said it had both it’s not actually set up and we’d plan to come back early and watch a film on Netflix so that was a shame. Then I slept terribly as the walls were so thin (room 57) and I could hear the man next door or below, unsure which, snore all night so I barely slept then when I did I was woke up early by the same people at 6.45am getting up for their day talking!! You really need to sound proof the room properly that’s not ok. And if you can’t sound proof you need to provide good ear plugs and a white noise machine. Overall lovely just the edge taken off by not sleeping."

Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel

8/10 Good

"We arrived on the hottest weekend of the year and our room had no AC. However, the staff had prepared the room the best they could, a fan, curtain closed etc. and it was fine. We were in the refurbished side and the room was lovely, clean and modern. The breakfast buffet wasn’t great - limited continental and low quality hot items. Staff were friendly and efficint. I would recommend this hotel for its lovely room, parking and close to town."

Cathedral Gate Hotel

8/10 Good

"Be careful, it’s easy to accidentally book a room with SHARED bathroom facilities! This place is so charming but the rooms facing the main street are LOUD with young men yelling well until 11pm or so. Getting to the hotel can be tricky as well. Need to go past bollards into the pedestrian zone. No a/c no elevator and the parking lot is public and a few blocks away but reasonable. Breakfast is minimal, no eggs…"
