Top Maidstone Hotel Reviews

The Inn on the Lake Hotel

8/10 Good

"Obviously could do with an upgrade as rooms are quite dated. However nice spot with patio doors onto the lake and everything that was needed in the room inc ceiling fan which was helpful. Breakfast ok however burger at dinner was awful."

Village Hotel Maidstone

10/10 Excellent

"Brilliant place for excellence"

Days Inn by Wyndham Maidstone

10/10 Excellent

"All good.lovely receptionist"

ABode Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"Hotel was really nice and the night staff even though young went out over and beyond."

The Black Horse Inn

8/10 Good

"This is a historic inn on a pilgrim’s route. It is not a modern, high rise hotel. Don’t let those expectations diminish your experience here. The rooms are quite large and very clean. The beds are comfortable. There are not a lot of frills and extras here yet that is not what this inn is about. Be aware that the inn is not in town. There is a rather narrow road going to the inn. Good, free parking. The breakfast is basic. The pub area is super cool and historic - not sure how good the food is - we didn’t eat lunch or dinner there. This was a good, reasonably priced stop. Don’t expect a high end hotel."

Delta Hotels Bexleyheath

10/10 Excellent

"The room was clean and well lit. It is in a quiet area. Opposite is a Lidl, and bustops to the bluewater mall, bus 96. Just 2 minutes walk to bexleyheath shopping centre.good restaurants nearby walking distance."

Chilston Park Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A great relaxing break exactly what we wanted for our wedding anniversary. Will make this our home from home choice. Staff very friendly and professional. Onsite parking well located. Room clean and facilities as stated."
