Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is a good choice for a stay, with clean and modern rooms, though some maintenance is needed. The service was attentive but had some hiccups in follow-ups. The location, while isolated, serves its purpose well. Dining offered a mix of experiences, with limited options sometimes. The facilities are decent overall.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The service was absolutely brilliant from reception to bar staff to cleaners, although there were some delays in topping up breakfast supplies. The location was excellent for my needs, especially being close to the race track, but there is room for improvement. The dining experience was good overall, with a nice variety of food, but some items were not served as hot as I would have preferred.
My stay at the hotel was absolutely amazing! The room was part of a suite and very large, a beautiful room, but sadly, it wasn't clean. The hotel service was top-notch; the staff were absolutely amazing, friendly, and helpful, going the extra mile to ensure a great experience. The location was fantastic for attending Brands Hatch Circuit, but the breakfast was poor. The dining experience was good with plenty to eat but unfortunately, the food was luke-warm. Overall, it was an excellent experience and I would definitely go back.
