10/10 Excellent
"From the moment we entered till we left, we knew we had made the best choice by staying at The Conningbrook Hotel in Ashford. Tucked away of the main road only adds to the attraction of the experience. Staff were friendly and helpful upon arrival and the room was very cosy. It had everything that could be needed at a stay, from ironing board to hairdryer and a full length mirror! The little attention to detail made the whole difference to our stay. Would highly recommend using them as the experience was great throughout."

10/10 Excellent
"Clean and inexpensive place to stay. Room was pleasant and warm - it was wet and windy when we visited so we were grateful for somewhere to dry out! The hotel is well served by the Loop bus making travel between Margate, Ramsgate, and Broadstairs quick and easy. It’s also across from Westcross Shopping centre, which was handy when we needed to buy a raincoat and extra layers. We didn’t have breakfast, preferring instead to travel to nearby cafes. All in all, very good."
