Recent Reviews in Herne Bay

ABode Canterbury

8/10 Good

"Rooms are fine but could use a bit of freshening. Our bed was comfortable and the location was quiet. The continental breakfast was a huge disappointment. Several things were not available and what was served was just okay. The front desk staff are superior and they were very helpful with any questions we asked. The location makes this hotel a wonderful choice but don’t expect great food."

Dover Marina Hotel & Spa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely old seaside town hotel experience. I booked a suite and loved the views. The quality of the furnishings was top notch."

Ashford International Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Plenty of parking and the staff were very informative and professional both in the hotel and spa. The evening meal was nice but expensive in my opinion but breakfast was excellent value for money"

"Excellent customer service the rooms were very clean the only let down was the breakfast poor quality napkins also fruit and continental breakfast was very poor the English breakfast was good quality and plentiful they just have to up the other options as for the star establishment it lets it down"

Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was easy to find and the free car park was good. The location is good, just a short walk in to the centre of Canterbury. Staff were helpful but the hotel is a bit 'tired'. I think some refurbishing is going on as the reception area and bar looked clean and modern but the rest had shabby carpet and worn out fittings & fixtures, e.g. our shower rail (the shower was over the bath) was very rusty. However, the bed was comfortable and breakfast was good."

Broome Park Hotel

8/10 Good

"The former home of Lord Kitchener offers large rooms and surroundings with old times charm. Room Kimberly had a specious sitting room with fridge and a smaller bedroom with loft ceiling. Didn't have a breakfast. Tried the small gym and small swimming pool, access code changes daily. The once beautiful grounds need a bit more attention . Free parking, decent price. Highly recommended"

Holiday Inn Express Folkestone - Channel Tunnel by IHG
