ORIDA Maidstone Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay"

The Hope Hotel

8/10 Good

"So if you book a room with a sea view then it’s best not to expect an early night .. especially at the weekend. And if the sun is out .. lots of traffic and people sat outside playing classic old school bangers along with the latest hits. The room has what you need. Kettle milk tea n coffee. The staff are brilliant. And you get a tasty breakfast in the morning.its close to the beach and local attractions.. would I stay again.. I think I would yeah .."

The Palace Hotel

8/10 Good

"Good hotel. But would not recommend a room with a balcony. Upgraded from a standard to a seaview and was given a room with a balcony. However, didn't use the balcony as it was full of pigeons. The prevention methods included spikes which had become unglued and were falling off and netting which had big holes in it. This has allowed pigeons to nest. One pigeon had got caught in the netting and died. Once notified, the staff were quick to remove it. But this would not stop me from staying again as there was no problem with anything else. Be warned, the parking is a car park opposite which costs £25 per 24 hours."

St Nicholas Hotel

8/10 Good

"We have stayed here a few times and this experience wasn’t our favourite. We had booked for breakfast and were forgotten about by the breakfast staff. My partner had to flag down a member of staff and ask if we could order. When the food did arrive, mine was burnt, it certainly wasn’t worth the £19. There was a large group of golfers in the restaurant and they appeared to get priority despite half of them not wanting to order any food. Over all it has left us wondering if we want to stay here again."
