Top Maidstone Hotel Reviews
Spring River Ebbsfleet by Marston's Inns
"Good location and rooms are very clean. The staff are also helpful and icing on the cake is the free parking."
Hythe Imperial Hotel Spa & Golf

Felbridge Gatwick Hotel & Spa

Chilston Park Hotel
"Beautiful grounds, very professional staff ."
Village Hotel Maidstone
"Enjoyed my stay will stay again"
Holiday Inn London-Bexley by IHG
"Great weekend stay to attend sports events (Olympic stadium and Brands Hatch) perfectly located for driving to both. Room spotless and perfect for our family (2 x A, 1 x C). Great parking, barrier controlled, with lots of space. Breakfast very good, hot, plentiful and a wide choice. Other food options donโt suit us but we were able to order in and although we had to eat in our room staff were happy to provide plates and cutlery. All staff were helpful and friendly and our room was clean and very comfortable. Due to layout some rooms quite far (round 3 long corridors) from the lift, this wasnโt an issue for us but could be for some. We had a great stay and will certainly return in the future."
Luxury Pod-sleeps 2-hot Tub-pets-garden
"We absolutely loved our stay at the Honey Pod. Communication and instructions before arrival were wonderful and made everything so easy. The space itself is compact but has everything you need โ a cozy kitchen/lounge area, comfortable bedroom, and clean bathroom. The wood burner hot tub in the garden was such a treat, perfect for relaxing under the stars. Itโs beautifully secluded and feels like youโre tucked away in the middle of nowhere โ peaceful, quiet, and magical. Highly recommend for anyone looking to unwind and escape! "
