This was our second time staying here. We stay when we go to Brands Hatch for the BSB racing. The hotel is convenient and has parking. The rooms are old and tired and could be cleaner but bed linen and towels are very clean. The food in the bar wasn't great But we found a fab Chinese down the road. Breakfast was nice but it was a shame they didn't start serving until 8am on weekends, this meant we couldn't have it on Sunday as we would arrive at the racing too late. The bedroom was incredibly hot but a fan was provided which helped a bit.

Simply terrible

The hotel was run down, musty, dirty and unwelcoming. The bath was littered with hairs behind a mouldy shower curtain - no way was I going to shower in the morning. The carpet and floors had seen much better days, but I daren’t think about that for too long. We did consider just leaving, but luckily the beds looked clean and they were comfortable enough so we stuck it out. The room was stifling, with only one window able to open, sadly that didn’t help as it just enhanced the pub goers noise which went on until 4am! Terrible location, leaving couldn’t come quick enough as we hurried past a punter tending his 10am beer. Staff seemed to want to prolong our suffering by leaving us waiting at the desk/bar whilst they finished a personal conversation in front of us. The only bright star in the place was the lady at breakfast - so friendly and genuinely lovely, I hope she receives the recognition she deserves.

Comfortable room and good breakfast. The only challenge was that the parking wasn’t the easiest to find.

Another pleasant stay

I stay here for the convenience and location to where I need to be. Second stay here. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I had a queen size bed which was lovely and comfy. Breakfast was also nice. It’s a lovely old pub/hotel with a friendly atmosphere. Would recommend.

We got an email to advise us to book a table to eat in the restaurant, I rang to book one and told us kitchen was closed, shame nobody let us know, breakfast was pastry’s from Lidls , 99p for a pack of eight, breakfast looked quite sad 😔 nobody approached us to offer us any toast, small plate with a few slices of ham and cheese on it. Overall a little disappointed.
