Took 15 minutes to check in at an understaffed reception. Bedroom was like a sauna.

It was a lovely little getaway the only problem I could say is be careful when walking around the stairs as staff chuck pillows down the stairs

We stayed for 2 nights, on first impressions the outside looks a bit dated but reception looked more modern inside, check in was easy and the receptionist was polite and friendly
I’ll start with negatives first:
We booked a privilege room with lake view, I think calling it a lake view is a push as you could barely see it, the room was a bit old fashioned and there were burn marks on the carpet, the toilet roll holder was broken, hardly any tv channels worked, and the only plug socket by the bed didn’t work, the walls are thin and we could here the tv from the next room, the windows are single glazed and only one of these opened
We had a meal in the restaurant on the 2nd night and for the price would have expected a more, the manager I assume as he was the only one in a suit, had to find menus for us as he didn’t have any, and there was no drinks menu so has to ask the waitress what was available, we were not offered water even though other tables were, and the service was slow and staff not as helpful or friendly
Now for the positives:
All the staff were very polite, friendly and helpful, especially the gentleman on reception on our 2nd night, who’s name I unfortunately didn’t get, but he could not do enough, he was great
The breakfast was excellent, with a great selection and the staff were amazing
Even though I wasn’t impressed with the service and staff with our meal, the food was good
Overall staff were very good but a bit more TLC and modernisation needed elsewhere

Enjoyed our stay although there was a private function meaning the bar was off limits. The room was very nice, a very big bed and plenty of pressure in the shower.

Hotel a little run down but the basics were fine. Extraordinary decor in places! Evening meal a disappointment. Bar noisy and uncomfortable. Pie was OK but my warm Asian ald was cold. I was told that there were no noodles so vegetables would be substituted. This turned out to be huge chunks of less-than-fresh broccoli, tough and inedible. Whoever was in the kitchen was obviously unengaged and had never tried to eat large chunks of raw broccoli! CAn't give more than three stars for this reason.

A marked improvement in service delivery from the last time I stayed here during pre-covid days. It is in walking distance from the Leeds Castle View Restaurant, which is well worth a visit.

Needs a tidy up and a lick of paint, very tired and dated.
Dinner service was over an hour, which was disappointing.

Stayed only 1 night. Wouldn’t again.. after a lovely dinner with great staff at the onsite restaurant we decided to take the stairs up to our room on the 3rd floor. There were bouncer type men asking where we were going and they demanded to see our room key before being allowed on the 3rd floor. When in our room the music was loud (but acceptable) but then the loud arguing and what sounded like physical fighting started. I locked the door and put our bags by the door and laid awake scared for hours. In the morning at check out I complained but no one contacted me. If you value your sleep and want to feel safe do not stay here. I’m pretty sure the police came but I was too scared to look out of the windows. Go anywhere else!

We had a so tough stay throughout the night due to the poor wall and noisy voice and sound. The guys came knocking the door speaking. My family felt scary and unsafe there. We'll never visit you.

Staff were very friendly, evening food ok, excellent breakfast with loads of choice. My room was very near to the swimming pool and was uncomfortably warm with a very strong smell of chlorine. Not very pleasant to breathe in all night.

Mercure Maidstone did not fulfill my booking so had to find an alternative at the last minute despite having a confirmation from Hotels.com, which when travelling with children was appalling. Hotel were unhelpful and blamed Hotels.com. Poor service and I can only assume the Mercure had overbooked.

Would have been a great stay, but the following ruined the experience:
1. No air-con: the room was very, very hot and couldn't sleep.
The little fan was noisy and sadly couldn't cool down the room.
2. Please replace the old shower curtains and put shower screens instead. Unpleasant to shower with shower curtain clinging to my skin.
3. Room outdated- curtains torn and room require so much tlc.
3. Room and bathroom not very clean , brown stuff coming off the sink , dust on windowsill and bedside tables.
4. Cleaners need to check cupboards and wardrobes to ensure previous guests have not left anything as they was dirty unwanted stuff left by previous guests- not nice at all.
Great parking and location though.

The room itself was very hot as there is no air conditioning, as such we had to have the window open all night to cool the room down. The mattress was also very hard which meant that I did nt have a comfortable sleep. The key card failed twice and we had to return to reception to re-authorise the card to gain access to our room. The car parking was free to hotel users , which was a plus, The breakfast was ok but it was a buffet style which meant that the food was under heaters and some had started to become hard, especially the eggs.
For a one night stay this was acceptable. The staff were welcoming and helpful.

No complaints about the comfort, customer service and the hotel itself. Only thing I would suggest is that there is some type of climate control in the rooms, a fan at least because it was super super hot in the room
