He was friendly and welcoming. The room was at the back of the property so very little noise was heard from the main road. It was a perfect location for our plans that weekend, close to all our destinations, some lovely pubs nearby within walking distance. Lovely cooked breakfast at the time we requested. ##### Jill Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Carmel 28 Jul 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service Met by a friendly, helpful lady who brought a hairdryer to me. room was clean and bed comfortable. Shower poor. But the main complaint was after a short dog walk the male owner told us we hadn’t paid for dogs. We told him we thought we had - he then said it was £40 extra! Asked for cash- machine wasn’t charged for card/ he could barely talk as so drunk! Had to wait about 20 mins in reception for card reader. After 6 hour journey just wanted bed! Supposed to be smoke free hotel but he was smoking and drinking at reception which stunk of smoke- I’m asthmatic! Went on about Expedia charging a fortune and them getting nothing. We read after paying that it was meant to be £5 a dog! Said they could do us a take away omelette for breakfast at 8 ( we needed to leave before this so had nothing! Wish we’d booked the Travelodge! ##### Carmel Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Aaron 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Lovely little place to stay, good value for money too!

It was honestly like a scene out of the league of gentleman. We wemt straight to bed, to be knoked up at midnight by the steaming owner. He demanded payment even though we had paid theough hotels.com, we showed him the receipt but he was trying to scam us. He then kicked us out of the hotel.

Totally run down, poor hospitality is an understatement. ##### Paul Stayed 1 night in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Martin 24 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities I assumed that this was a pub-hotel - but it isn't. It is more akin to a guest house, which you need to bear in mind if you are likely to be late (as I did). I guess it was once a pub but now just caters for guests - mostly walkers when I was there. Breakfast (cooked to order) was around a table with the other guests which proved to the most enjoyable breakfast I've experienced in any hotel. It's a place for people who value a friendly good value experience and don't mind that it isn't the Hilton. Its next to a road, but the area area Chilham and Godmersham is beautiful and historic. ##### Martin Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 Verified ### 6/10 Okay #### Michelle 15 May 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Pleasant stay at the Old Alma Had a very pleasant stay, staff very friendly. Room was very clean and the bed very comfortable. A delicious full breakfast was served. Need to ring the bell to gain entry upon arrival as there is no reception desk. ##### Michelle Stayed 1 night in May 2023 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Robin 7 Sept 2025 The hotel was closed with nobody there. The owners were missing and the hotel was locked up. We had to phone the manager but he would not be there until 8pm. The building was derillict and up for sale. We had to find another hotel. I would like my money refunded. ##### Robin Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Johanna 11 Aug 2025 Note, The Old Alma does not use Hotelsdotcom -platform. I made a reservation and it was not found (and the hotel was fully booked). Nice owners were sorry and explained that this hotel is not available via Hotelsdotcom at all. ##### Johanna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALBERTO 30 Jun 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities We loved our stay and they do make you feel at home. Excellent and we would go back if we plan to go around Kent. ##### ALBERTO Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 2/10 Terrible #### Josh 25 Jul 2025 Disliked: Staff & service Hotel showed it had a room available. I booked it and paid, and then received a message saying they had no room for us. No refund!!! ##### Josh Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Verified traveller 8 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Disappointing stay There was no hot water in the room. We could use the shower in another room, but could not move to this room. They say there is free parking available, but we were charged an amazing GBP20,- per night for parking our trailer tent. The inn is for sale. While the rooms look reasonable, the general impression is that the inn is in need of renovation, with non-working locks and poorly screened-off storage areas. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller 9 Oct 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Convenient for Canterbury. Good value. No frills. Shower, bed and breakfast all very good. Real family atmosphere. Ideal for walking, visiting Chilham village and train to Canterbury. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2018 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Nicholas 22 Aug 2024 Liked: Staff & service Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities Really weird. ##### Nicholas Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lorna 2 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Check in We arrived approx 4.30pm to be told our booking had been cancelled. We never received any notification from hotels.com even though Sarah from the old alma had told them the day before. Apart from that Sarah went above and beyond to accommodate ush. She actually gave up her own bedroom for us. I would recommend this hotel but just make sure you arej informed of any changes before you leave homej. ##### Lorna Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Margaret 31 Jul 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The host and hostess were very charming and welcoming. Only dislike which is no fault of the proprietor is the speeding cars. There should be a speed bump or with restrictions on the left hand side of the road as you face the building and the white pillar should have a reflector to help cars approaching to slow down. Difficulty in driving out of the car park because the road curves, fast cars approaching from the right and the white pillar partially obstruct your view. ##### Margaret Stayed 1 night in Jul 2023 ### Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > - [The Skipton Hotel - Formerly Hotel Rendezvous](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skipton-Hotels-Hotel-Rendezvous.h41466.Hotel-Information) > - [OYO Shanklin Beach Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Shanklin-Hotels-OYO-Shanklin-Beach-Hotel.h7539838.Hotel-Information) > - [Brock Cottage private Hot Tub DOG/Cat FRIENDLY\* with on site fishing](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pickering-Hotels-Spacious-Stone-Cottage-DOG-FRIENDLY.h36805890.Hotel-Information) > - [Crafted at Powdermills](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Battle-Hotels-Powdermills-Country-House-Hotel.h195688.Hotel-Information) > - [voco Lythe Hill Hotel & Spa by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haslemere-Hotels-Voco-Lythe-Hill-Hotel-Spa.h517258.Hotel-Information) > - [Bear Lodge - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Bear-Lodge-Aspinall-Foundation.h40101484.Hotel-Information) > - [DoubleTree by Hilton London Elstree](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Borehamwood-Hotels-DoubleTree-By-Hilton-London-Elstree.h18549.Hotel-Information) > - [Hampton by Hilton Canterbury](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Canterbury-Hotels-Hampton-Inn-Canterbury.h66541221.Hotel-Information) > - [Pinewood Camping Pods - At Port Lympne Reserve](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hythe-Hotels-Pinewood-Apinall-Foundation.h40101599.Hotel-Information) > - [Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Exeter-Hotels-Exeter-Rougemont-Hotel-By-Sunday.h7784.Hotel-Information) > - [Mermaid, Ipswich by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Ipswich-Hotels-Mermaid.h31883430.Hotel-Information) > - [Wild Rose Caravan Park](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Appleby-In-Westmorland-Hotels-Wild-Rose-Caravan-Park.h24459296.Hotel-Information) > - [Sandman Signature Sheffield Quays Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sheffield-Hotels-The-Quays-Hotel-Sheffield.h46197620.Hotel-Information) > - [Crow Wood Hotel & Spa Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Burnley-Hotels-Crowwood-Hotel-Spa-Resort.h38222710.Hotel-Information) > - [Donnington Manor Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sevenoaks-Hotels-Donnington-Manor-Hotel.h865829.Hotel-Information) > - [Lock Keeper, Worksop by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Worksop-Hotels-Lock-Keeper.h27479298.Hotel-Information) > - [Skegness The Royal Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Skegness-Hotels-The-Royal-Hotel-Skegness.h23931999.Hotel-Information) > - [The Swan Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Wells-Hotels-The-Swan-Hotel.h26791.Hotel-Information) > - [voco Leicester by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Leicester-Hotels-Voco-Leicester.h76596043.Hotel-Information) > - [The Stables Whitby](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Whitby-Hotels-The-Stables-Whitby.h23322490.Hotel-Information) > - [Soar Mill Cove Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Salcombe-Hotels-Soar-Mill-Cove-Hotel.h2042032.Hotel-Information) > - [The Aviator, formerly Smugglers Cove, Clacton On Sea by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Clacton-On-Sea-Hotels-Smugglers-Cove-By-Marstons-Inns.h35853904.Hotel-Information) > - [Canterbury Bell, Margate by Marston's Inns](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Broadstairs-Hotels-Canterbury-Bell.h33103125.Hotel-Information) > - [Samsara Retreat and Yoga - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Maidstone-Hotels-Samsara-Retreat-And-Yoga.h41349775.Hotel-Information) > - [Seven Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Southend-On-Sea-Hotels-Seven-Hotel.h19282555.Hotel-Information) > - [Yeoldon House](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bideford-Hotels-Yeoldon-House.h2764122.Hotel-Information) > - [Wild Thyme & Honey](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cirencester-Hotels-Wild-Thyme-Honey.h9241983.Hotel-Information) > - [Cromer Country Club](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cromer-Hotels-Cromer-Country-Club.h1927781.Hotel-Information) > - [Chewton Glen Hotel & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/New-Milton-Hotels-Chewton-Glen-Hotel-Spa.h528432.Hotel-Information) ---
