Great but no hot water

Was a really nice room and really great staff, breakfast was brilliant. just would’ve been nice to know that the hot water wasn’t working. It wasn’t just in my room either as we had friends in another room and their hot water wasn’t working either.

A very tired hotel which with some investment could be lovely again. Leisure club a great addition but again desperately needs a refurb. Also closing the jakuzzi for cleaning on a busy sunday morning is not the best time.

If it weren't for the staff, this would be a typical run-of-the-mill conference hotel. However, the staff are outstanding - I stay in hotels at least twice a week, and the reception experience from Steve was the best and friendliest I've ever had. Throughout the rest of my day, from breakfast, through to the events team I noticed such care and passion from the team, with many people pro-actively spotting when guests needed help or guidance. Really world-class service, thank you.

Stayed for a night begore visiting Leeds Castle (literally next door). Room was clean and lovely view. But the only thing I would say is the room needs more sockets. None by the bed to charge phone, and I had to put the kettle and tea tray, together with the seperate coffee machine, all on the dressing table, as no plugs anywhere else to plug into. So was constantly plugging / unplugging hair straightners, lamp, kettle, coffee machine and phones. But other than that small problem, I would recommend the hotel and stay again.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
Terrible service in restaurant. Never actually ate there as in quiet place with less than 5 tables in use felt invisible. Other patrons who arrived after us were served first. Also immediately canceled 2nd night we had just booked. In Room 102 could hear Terrible noises like a door moving on squeaky rollers all night. Fan didn't work in bathroom. Generally very tired decor in hotel. Only one spoon on amenity tray, very few tea bags and one pack of biscuits. On the plus side it was a nice king size bed. Certainly didn't merit star racing. I have never given such a negative review on a property. So disappointed as it has the potential to be really nice.

Very very dirty. very noisy the banging of the corridor door which was opposite my room for 301 every time some one came in or out. Requested a fan in the room as no aircon in the room which I did not realise but reception said there was one in the room which there was not had to phone to ask for one to be brought to the room the room I felt had not been cleaned for my stay with you as photos will show as I am asthmatic this dust made me feel poorly and had to use my nebuliser in the night as the fan was filthy and was just spreading the dust. I wished I had taken a photo of the fan.but they will know what this is like as it is still in the room I was told there were twin beds that I could push together so I did not roll out of the bed and fall on the floor this was not doable because of the bedside table. Why would they ring me bk and tell me this was correct in the accessible room I could push the beds together this was room 301
