Mercure Dartford Brands Hatch Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Very good"

Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel

8/10 Good

"Our room itself was clean and quite adequate. Not very quiet though, music carried thru the pipes and arguments in the hallways were very audible. The carpet in some of the hallways needed cleaning. The key cards never worked more than once and had to be replaced about every time we left the room. The layout of the hotel was also strange with a lot of switch backs through corridors to reach the lobby."

The Lookout Rye

8/10 Good

"Very good room with a few small issues and breakfast wad good and would stay again"

The Spa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"My partner and I regularly choose to stay here for the great breakfast, nifty little gym and lovely rooms. The staff are lovely and it is always a lovely rest."

King Charles Hotel

10/10 Excellent

Eastwell Manor, Champneys Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel in a stunning location. Stayed in the mews which was a five minute walk from the main hotel. Spa was okay, but small. Plus there was an aqua aerobics class going on in the pool blasting Wham. Not very relaxing. Food and drink were as you'd expect from such a location. Recommended"

Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf

8/10 Good

"It is a very high class hotel with a good atmosphere. The restaurant is a very convenient for the hotel guests. Location is perfect for a seaside holiday."
