Hotels near Wateringbury, Maidstone

This hotel really served our purpose as a convenient overnight stop whilst attending a wedding. The double room on the first floor was clean, the shower hot, plenty of towels, ironing board, hairdryer, fan; in short everything we needed. It was also great to be able to check in a little earlier so we could enjoy a quick cup of tea and freshen up before the wedding. A very nice young man at reception, I think his name was Banjul, was most attentive, friendly and helpful though the staff at breakfast were also very nice and kept all the breakfast supplies stocked up. I loved the fresh fruit salad, fresh watermelon and selection of hot beverages. My husband enjoyed nicely cooked back bacon and freshly fried eggs. It was all excellent and there was a relaxed, friendly vibe in the breakfast room.

In all honesty and respect to the Travelodge Team, I must say it was totally the opposite of what I expected which is entirely NO fault of theirs! Coming from Hiton at CDG Paris, Atrium in Heathrow there were absolutely NO comparison!! Travelodge, was used as last resort at the moment as the initial location booked did not appear safe in location, taking into consideration I was traveling on official business. The hotel is basic, they don't provide daily cleaning, nor room service, and if you need towels replaced you'd place the sign on the door before 11am. They offer buffet breakfast and selected dinner, really can't comment much on that.... What I did learn is that the hotel is commonly used for other types of accommodations.... To each his own, I wouldn't do a second time and wouldn't recommend to any of my counterparts. Nonetheless, for the duration of my stay I must highlight Terence, Lisa and Sarah who was always helpful in anyway they could and I can safely say those 3 made my stay a little better than my mind would😁So thank you guys, your personalities and professionalism are appreciated!

It’s a beautiful place, we were very lucky to be upgraded to the Judge Mellish room on the day, it was a large room with a beautiful 4 poster bed, all wonderfully decorated in the style of the time, bathroom was excellent with a fantastic shower, there was everything we needed in the room including a fan, we slept really well, there was a little noise from outside but they supply ear plugs but to be honest it wasn’t loud at all and didn’t need them. The only thing we didn’t personally like was the satin bedding, it looked stunning and luxurious on the bed but personally we prefer cotton. We were welcomed by a lovely lady who showed us to our room and had the room ready early for us on our request, would 100% recommend and would stay again.

Wonderful 3 night stay with my grandson. We were visiting family. Even though it was over the new year celebrations, we had a good night's sleep and enjoyed the pool. Lovely friendly staff, which was very welcoming. Even my 6 Yr old grandson commented how nice the hotel was. Sally in the restaurant at breakfast was very welcoming, especially. Reception was very helpful too, even when popping a missing towel, etc, up to our room personally.

I booked a night here as it’s very near Bearstead - the price for B and B was reasonable - I had a basic room which was indeed basic - my main issue was breakfast which is served till 10:00 - I arrived at 09:30 - the staff were cheerful - however the buffet was a state and had not been tidied or replenished the fresh fruit was dried out and trays of food were left untidy - the cooked breakfast - only a couple of eggs fried and scrambled eggs looked watery and sloppy - again none of the dishes replenished - no member of staff on duty to keep an eye on all that - and guests were continually having to ask for “ any more eggs - mushrooms - hash browns etc - A good breakfast would have turned my review from average to very good - However I’m constantly disappointed in some guest attitude manners and eating habits - also allowing their children take huge amounts of food without any intention of eating it !!

Been here twice to eat now and it didn’t disappoint. The standard of the cuisine is first class from presentation to quality ingredients and even down to a hot plate upon delivery - excellent ! I eat in some of the more recognised high end establishments in Central London and have to say that the food we had mirrored this standard and in fact, for me, beat it. To start, we had the fish platter to share which was outstanding and a must should you visit. Our mains were Calves Liver, (which was devine,) and my guests had Fish n Chips and Steak respectively - both of which they assured me was excellently cooked and of the same quality as the liver! We couldn’t fit a dessert in but I’m sure it would have been just as delicious if we could have. Pricing very reasonable for the quality of the dishes and service. We will be returning very soon.

Having not stayed here for many decades now I was hoping for better. It didn’t start well at reception when asking about the offer of papers in a “privilege” room I was told .. “yeah but you gottta pay for them”! An hour or so later I found the booking confirmation which clearly said papers included with a privilege room. A second visit to reception produced a comment along the lines of “I don’t know anything about that” accompanied by a shrug of the shoulders. Not a good start. I was also surprised that there was no hotel services book in room therefore no info on health club, meal times, operation of coffee machine etc. Even the very basic hotels usually have these. A question on this produced the same line of not knowing anything about it! The room wasn’t anywhere near the standard suggested and was extremely tired and not particularly clean with dusty areas all over. Windows were old fashioned aluminium which meant they needed to be closed due to the A20 nearby. This meant they were dripping with condensation in the morning! One of the bedside light switches was broken and was fixed after reporting, unlike the toilet roll holder that was also broken buy never got fixed! The duvet supplied was far too warm for summer and I have no idea why the bed was so massive but it was quite comfortable. The bathroom was adequate, no more. All in all, I think that Premier Inn rooms are much better and an awful lot cheaper! On the good side... The young guy in bar was very helpful on many things, perhaps he should have been on reception? The restaurant food was good in the evening, breakfast simply OK. I just wish those waiting on wouldn't keep calling everyone 'guys'. Because the bar/lounge and restaurant were essentially the same room, the television on at one end does nothing for the restaurant guests apart from annoy them! But the Health club and were pool fine!
