Maidstone Wedding Hotels

"I stayed at the Great Danes Hotel in Maidstone and was extremely disappointed. On arrival, the reception desk was completely unstaffed, and after a long wait the check‑in was rushed with no information about the leisure facilities and only vague directions to my room. The first room smelled strongly of cigarette smoke, with stained, worn curtains. I requested a room change and was initially told it wasn’t possible, though another room was eventually offered. The leisure facilities were dated, poorly supervised, and the shower area had visible black mould. Dinner was acceptable, but service was slow and staff seemed undertrained. Basic questions about bar options became unnecessarily long exchanges because staff didn’t know what was stocked. Returning to the room, I noticed a damp smell and clear signs of neglect: cracked plaster, dirty curtains, sticky furniture, peeling wallpaper, and visible mould and damp near the door. The carpet also looked unhoovered. The next morning, I discovered the shower had no showerhead at all—just an open pipe, making it unusable."

"Breakfast was good lots of choice staff and facilities great"

"Stayed 1 night at the hotel. Got to our room to find dirty socks and clothes by the bed. The staff need to check the rooms properly. Television channels work intermittently."
