"Comfy hotel "

Good value stay to visit family in central maidstone, the malta inn pub next door was shut due to covid 19. The hotel restaurant and bar was also shut. But they helped us order a takeaway for the evening meal which we ate in our room very friendly helpful staff. Out look from bedroom window wasnt great ....very near trees and bushes ok for 1 night.

"Super friendly service"

2 night mid week stay, room was a very good size, good value £104 for 2 adults, 2 night stay, had all the amenities we needed. Liked the lite up mirror and appreciated the floor standing fan. All the staff at the hotel were very friendly and welcoming. The beefeater alongside it although in an enviable river side position we found lacking friendly atmosphere and the food served was lukewarm. The waitress was helpful but the greeter who showed you to your table was simply horrid . I would choose the premier inn hotel again though....just eat elsewhere.

"Half open"

A Sunday night before the site's full opening a bit strange. The hotel receptionist was lovely very welcoming and helpful. The room spacious, clean with a very comfortable bed. sadly the adjacent restaurant and bar were not yet open. Opening this Friday! In the morning there was an outside kiosk selling drinks which is something.

"Christmas visit"

We stayed for a couple of nights over Christmas. A very friendly reception and a really nice position on the river. We had a lovely walk on Christmas morning . Certainly worth a revisit if we are ever in the area again. Good value .

"Very disappointed"

I did not enjoy staying here. The access is very unwelcoming. You can easily drive past the road in the evening as there is no lighting and easy to miss the sign. There was no staff on reception on arrival (needed to ring them for some follow up and no answer several times) and no bell to contact them as you do with other Premier Inns. The receptionist was in the back making soup! Room was cold and smelly. Went to the restaurant next door and service wasnt much better. Waited for 5 minutes at the welcome point that says to wait, no staff anywhere. Sat downstairs and waited and nobody came. Found out it was bar service only. Not helpful bar staff. Fire alarm when off when having meal but nobody left and no staff came around. Overall really poor. There are other Premier Inns in the area so probably try one of them.

Hotel description Premier Inn Hotel Maidstone (Sandling) is just a stone's throw away from the centre of Maidstone, so we're very handy for business or pleasure. And, with our own lovely beer garden sitting alongside the river Medway, you'll find the time and space to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Marvel at the perfect reflection of Leeds Castle in the moat that surrounds it. Or take a trip to Chatham and see historic warships and even a submarine. Stretch your legs on the glorious Kent Downs, then return to tasty food in our Beefeater restaurant, and a lovely comfy bed in your room.
