Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf

Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf

10/10 Excellent
"Our stay was very enjoyable and the staff very good unfortunately breakfast was a bit disorganised. Hollie was a lovely girl and explained everything but my husband's breakfast order went wrong and instead of eggs royal he ended up with eggs Florentine. On the second day I ordered two poached eggs and gluten free toast but had to ask after about twenty minutes if it was going to arrive and it did about another five minutes later so I assumed it had been forgotten. Apart from that mishap out stay was very nice."

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."

"Staff are very friendly and welcoming, been there a number of times before, as a stop before we jump on Le shuttle the rooms and everything was great, but a little bit disappointing with the breakfast before we had breakfast in a bag this time. It was laid out, but all of the croissants and baked goods were so dry"
