Kings Arms Hotel by Greene King Inns

It's been quite a while since i last stayed at the Kings Arms... and this trip reminded me why! There is very little choice of Hotels in the area, and Kings Arms is centrally located in Westerham with many decent Pubs and Restaurants in close proximity. The Hotel had undergone a lot of fairly recent External Renovation and looks amazing from the outside... maybe one day they can progress to modernising the interior. Bar Area and Restaurant areas are absolutely fine, and you cannot fault the friendliness and helpfulness of the Staff. However, the journey upstairs with the threadbare carpet kinda lets you know what is instore for you inside the room. On this most recent stay, the room itself was HUGE! I booked a deluxe Double. Massive Bed, and ample furniture. Carpet threadbare in places and the Central Heating Radiator didn't work. A small Electric heater had been placed in the room, but due to the enormity of the size, it was inadequate to produce any real warmth in the room. Poor quality lighting.. but i thinks that made me by design! The Bathroom was equally large, but similar to the room (and others i've stayed in previous) i suspect maybe the 1980's was the last time it had a facelift. It was adequate to take a wee, and clean my teeth.. but i could only imagine my wife's reaction to the sheer thought of taking a Bath in there! It's such a shame really... perfect location to stay for either Business while working at Biggin Hill Airport, or for a weekend getaway with the wife. However, if the latter... i would seriously advise to take a look across the road. You'll have a much happier wife!! This could be an amazing hotel - but it sure does need a lot of work on the inside.

Decided to break my journey south while travelling through Westerham and visited the Kings Arms - so glad I did!! Very imposing building. Arriving at lunchtime I ordered food and it was suggested by staff that the garden would be a good place to sit on this sunny day. Well maintained and with some beautiful plants, the garden was a great choice. Food arrived promptly and thoroughly enjoyed my meal. Staff very attentive. Before leaving I asked if it would be possible to have room for later in the week (to break my return journey). Hassle free, the receptionist quickly arranged my booking. Upon my return I was greeted by staff I had seen earlier in the week, who remembered me from my previous visit (very impressed). Room ok and bed comfortable and my only negative comment is that some tlc is needed to revitalise this beautiful old building. Thank you to the staff at the Kings Arms, for making me feel "at home" - I shall certainly make a point of a return visit.

Not the tidiest of rooms, the decor needs a serious upgrade and ceiling lights a MUST.. Green King management, PLEASE TAKE NOTE! However, the staff were just wonderful and probably the nicest hotel staff I've ever encountered. From kitchen staff to all of the marvelous front of house staff. They work so hard and just cant do enough for you. In the three days we stayed, they felt like good friends. Thank you guys.

Kings arms is a must the staff are very friendly and welcoming they greet you with a smile the food is good luke is a very good cook he takes time in making your food an absolute delight great atmosphere Hannah and the girls are amazing the hotel is old but very clean

We had a great stay at the Kings Arms as always. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The rooms although a little tired were clean, comfortable and well appointed and there was plenty of free parking on site. The bar was relaxed and a good size with an external seating area. The food quality was good, portion sizes generous and prices reasonable. We will definitely be back.

As a group of 4 we stayed for 1 night as a treat for an 80th birthday. Everyone was lovely, nothing was too much trouble. Taxi’s were arranged, restaurant choices offered and general information shared, all of which really helped. Great team spirit, all so welcoming and efficient, thank you. The hotel is perfectly located to explore the local area and central to the town.
