오리다 메이드스톤 호텔

Large room clean & tidy usual facilities tea & coffee making Bed was brilliant good mattress and lovely crisp bedding. Bathroom okay with shower over bath Breakfast was brilliant everything you could think. Self service. Hotel is on two floors and no lifts. Swimming pool and gym okay Good value for.money One negative point they charge £6.00 for car park.

It’s a fine hotel to stay at, it’s clean and has well looked after facilities. I especially liked the gym, which although very small has new equipment and open early so you can get a workout in before starting the day. However, a couple of things left us feeling like it might have been better had we stayed elsewhere: First of all, parking is paid—this came up to £18 for our whole 3-night stay—and this isn’t clear when you book with them. In most other chains, including similar priced hotels in the area we stayed in before, parking is included with the room price. Secondly, we paid for breakfast, which is £8 a day. We then learned breakfast it’s the most basic international breakfast you could get, the kind you’d get from a budget chain in the 2000s. There is little to no choice if you are vegan, the coffee is sad as you have to make it yourself from a machine, and the cooked food like beans are as bland as they get. End of the day, I read the reviews thinking it would be better than other hotels in the area we previously used, which is what made us pick it, but for the price it’s not worth it.

Very pleasant staff, perfect location for us, good pool and facilities. Reasonable quality room although situated a long distance from main facilities which caused us long walks, up and down stairs, within the building, to and from our room. We had requested a ground floor room but this was not granted. Breakfast food was good with a wide selection but the temperature of the hot food appeared to be lower than it should have been and after making our choice then walking the short distance back to our table with our plates, the food was only just warm. I think the temperature of the hot plates should be increased and the food temperature be checked regularly. On saying all of this, we hope to visit again when time allows.

Pleasant stay but the hotel is big and typical of large hotel groups and so lacks character Bed was comfortable and room clean.

Great hotel, fabulous service but one small wrinkle, the heavy bedroom doors make quite a slam in the mornings .. quite the distraction if you are not wanting to wake up before 9am …
