Hotel 3-Star di Kent, United Kingdom

Lovely hotel but would really benefit from being updated. No air-conditioning, although pushing my luck, a mini fridge would be a huge benefit for patrons as well... Beautiful location, lovely area, will return, but please clean the windows so I can see out of them!

It's been quite a while since i last stayed at the Kings Arms... and this trip reminded me why! There is very little choice of Hotels in the area, and Kings Arms is centrally located in Westerham with many decent Pubs and Restaurants in close proximity. The Hotel had undergone a lot of fairly recent External Renovation and looks amazing from the outside... maybe one day they can progress to modernising the interior. Bar Area and Restaurant areas are absolutely fine, and you cannot fault the friendliness and helpfulness of the Staff. However, the journey upstairs with the threadbare carpet kinda lets you know what is instore for you inside the room. On this most recent stay, the room itself was HUGE! I booked a deluxe Double. Massive Bed, and ample furniture. Carpet threadbare in places and the Central Heating Radiator didn't work. A small Electric heater had been placed in the room, but due to the enormity of the size, it was inadequate to produce any real warmth in the room. Poor quality lighting.. but i thinks that made me by design! The Bathroom was equally large, but similar to the room (and others i've stayed in previous) i suspect maybe the 1980's was the last time it had a facelift. It was adequate to take a wee, and clean my teeth.. but i could only imagine my wife's reaction to the sheer thought of taking a Bath in there! It's such a shame really... perfect location to stay for either Business while working at Biggin Hill Airport, or for a weekend getaway with the wife. However, if the latter... i would seriously advise to take a look across the road. You'll have a much happier wife!! This could be an amazing hotel - but it sure does need a lot of work on the inside.

We had a great experience here. The location is perfect for exploring the city, and the cleanliness of the room exceeded our expectations. It’s rare to find such a well-kept place. If we ever return to Canterbury, this will definitely be our first choice. Don’t hesitate to book!

I enjoyed my stay it was a good experience and the owners are lovely people and helpful if there’s any issue

What an amazing hidden gem this is. Nestled on a hill top overlooking the marshes with Warehorn church over the road, this pub with rooms is a must for a romantic get away. We arrived early and had a drink in the bar, which is beautifully quirky, a welcoming log fire burning and a wide selection of drinks. We had booked ”Niddy” an attic room with so much to give, a comfy bed, roll top bath, and so much character. The only ****** I had with the room, was the W.C squeezed into the roof space it was a little awkward to stand up and wee, but that's a small thing when it comes to such a great room. Requesting a quiet table for dinner, we were given one in a side area and again we couldn't believe it, it was super romantic and we had the whole room to ourselves. Our waiter Muli was so good, he was attentive but not intruding, and so funny, we haven't had many meals out and he really did make the evening. The food was excellent and the vegan burger was one of the best I have had. The location was brilliant, if you're into walking, cycling, birdwatching or wanting to visit local sites (rye was only 20min drive away) The rest of the staff were also brilliant, and couldn't do enough for us. We will definitely return.

I stayed for one night while attending a friend’s baby shower nearby. The hotel was exactly what I needed – clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and welcoming throughout my stay. Check-in was easy, and I felt well looked after. Although my stay was short, I had a pleasant experience and would happily stay here again in the future. Thank you for the great hospitality.

Days Inn proved to be a comfortable enough one-night stop-over choice. I found this hotel to be well-located, allowing for quick and easy access from the highway. With ample safe parking in the parking lot, EV charging facilities, and freestanding tap-to-pay self-service laundry machines available to use, it was nice to be able to refresh and reset for the following day without issue. The hotel's entrance sits directly opposite that of the Roadhouse rest which houses a varied selection of takeaway catering outlets, a Costa coffee shop, and WH Smith convenience shop amongst others can be found. The hotel's reception desk entrance shares a clean + suitably maintained garden/courtyard and picnic table seating, all within reach of the hotel's free wifi network, which proved useful. Despite arriving well before the stipulated check-in time, the front desk team was helpful and accommodating. An easy check-in + check-out process made for a budget-friendly, and hassle-free evening stop-over before continuing on with my Travels.

Stay and staff overall pleasant. Parking was a couple of minutes walk away which required a stop start up a very steep hill and steep steps (worth noting that there is a place to drop off suitcases and check in at the door before leaving to park). Room was surface clean but dated and didn’t feel throughly clean due to age of furniture and fixtures. Cracks in tiles for example. Bed and pillows lumpy. Sofa tiny and no table. Room a good size. Disappointed that there was no face cloths or decaf coffee and tea in room, asked for these but not located until I came upon some at breakfast the next morning. Breakfast was very basic and had to sort through cups and saucers to find ungrubby ones to use. I would stay again for a short stop over and was fairly priced but didn’t feel entirely comfortable.

Wonderful location, just a stones throw from the Centre of Canterbury. Our Host was lovely, very kind and welcoming. Breakfast was not overwhelming, very basic. It was included in the price so can't really complain. Lots of niggles with the room though..... maintenance appears to be down on the list of the priorities sadly. Fridge didn't work. TV had cracked plastic frame around it. Remote didn't connect to the TV. However you could turn on the TV manually....once you'd sussed out what wasn't working first. Bedside set of drawers had handles that kept falling off. No sink plug in the bathroom. You had to be a contortionist to see in the bathroom mirror, it could have been better positioned on the adjacent wall. It was also a little concerning that all the electric devices had to be plugged into just one trail board. That being said, inspite of all the niggles, it didn't stop us from having a lovely weekend stay in Canterbury - location made up for it along with Sanjeewa's hospitality.

It’s in a great location for all you want in a town. It has a cool vibe & a nice buzz.  I was welcomed warmly, but disappointed to discover at check-in my room was on the 5th floor & no lift! A disability prevents me from doing many stairs. I was offered an upgrade for an extra £20, so I paid. (In hindsight feel this is a common practice & felt a bit conned). I then found out I still had 2 flights of stairs to the first floor!! 😩 The room was spacious & tastefully decorated as you will see by the photos. A spare bed in the room, great for families. Nice coffee & tea facilities.  I found the room very cold, so told a member of staff & asked if the heating was coming on or what could they do, I never heard from anyone in response, so was very cold in the evening.  If you don’t like to be cold & lots of stairs are a problem don’t book.  If those are not a problem then it’s a characterful hotel, with a great restaurant. Just avoid being talked into an upgrade!!!
