A pleasant stop over
We wanted a clean and comfortable room to stay at whilst visiting the area. This hotel provided us with everything we need - comfy bed, hot shower, quiet area and a really popular restaurant attached.

Stayed for two nights. So very basic. Had to ask for clean mugs as nobody came to check up on room. Got the same mugs but just rinsed off. No breakfast offered because of Eid. The guys working there were actually nice though and the restaurant had delicious food.

The hotel was very clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable and the room we had was quite spacious. The Indian restaurant attached to the hotel was excellent, with a great choice of the usual Indian dishes as well as some not found in most Indian restaurants in England. The staff were all very friendly and professional. All-in-all, we had a very good few nights stay.

Great value
Room was spotlessly clean, towels could do with being a little thicker and a hairdryer in the room (instead of available at reception) would make life a little easier. Will definitely stay again.

Ideal hotel for a couple of nights
I stayed at the King Hotel for a couple of nights while my wife was at Benenden hospital for an operation. The hotel room was very clean and well appointed. Plenty of towels, shower gel, coffee & tea and biscuits for a two night stay. Really good shower in the en suite. Parking right by the room ( chalet type). Free wi fi as well.
The Indian Restaurant ''The Raja of Kent'' is next door to the hotel and I went there for a meal on the first night. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and the food is excellent.

No Compassion. Disgusting people
I booked this hotel for Friday 12th Aug. On Weds 10th Aug there was a fatal traffic incident including members of my family. As next of kin, I sat by a 5-yr olds bedside in hospital for two days while she was intensive care.
I phoned the hotel to request a refund on compassionate grounds. I phoned on Thursday. A day before the booking. They said no. Even after referring it to the owners, the owners declined a refund citing 'company policy'.
We also had a Chatsworth Hotel booked in Hastings for Thursday night and they gave us a refund without any question
I ask you not to book this money grabbing hotel with no heart!

Very poor hotel
We stayed overnight because my wife was being admitted to a nearby hospital at 7.00am the following morning. As part of the hospital requirements she was to shower with the shower gel that the hospital provided.
We were preparing for an early night when we found that there was no water supply. It took a while to get the water supply back on and when the staff left the wet bath mat used to mop the floor was left on the floor.
The following morning we were up at 5.00 am to prepare for the day. My wife was required to shower again before admission but there was no hot water. We had to shower in cold water. The hot water supply was came on after 5.30 am,
We left at 6.30 am am and there was no one available on reception to speak to about the shortcomings.
I returned alone at about 9.00 pm there was no one on reception.
On going into my room I found the room had not been serviced. There had been someone in because the tea and milk supplies had been replenished but the bed was unmade and the wet bathmat left on the floor after the water supply had been turned was still in the shower where I'd left it at 6.00 am.
The towels were probably clean but weren't a good colour.
When I left at 9.00 am to collect my wife from the hospital there was no one on reception so I couldn't make a complaint to any of the staff.
We regularly stay in hotels, budget hotels including Premier Inns, I've never before left an adverse review. This was the worst hotel I've stayed in.
