Top 10 The Duke of Kent Hotels

The hotel is nice, extremely well marketed, but don’t quite get all the the fuss is about. My ‘suite’ was actually basically a glorified tiny windowless cell like room that had no privacy, and a bedroom that the bed consumed the whole space with a window that was just a few cm from the car park. The bathroom had no heating and was absolutely freezing for the whole stay. The breakfast considered of 2 eggs, some homebrand muesli decanted into a jar and some yougurt also decanted into a jar. At least they were a bit more realistic & called it a light start breakfast. Calling the room a suite is like calling a motel a resort. Good & important thing was that the bed (that unfortunately took up most of the room) was extremely comfortable. It was actually frankly pretty disappointing after all the hype, a bit soulless and creepy with the sms checkin, no staff available just a phone and a key in the door. Guess I am a bit pernickety after the incredible marketing! Probably better to book a very big suite, that actually probably is a suite or stay at the Quest around the corner.

Our stay at St Hugh was fantastic. The room was immaculate, beautifully furnished and decorated and the bed was very comfy. The staff could not have been more lovely and helpful and provided us with numerous recommendations for local dining and drinking venues! The hotel is centrally located near a few nice restaurants, pubs and cocktail bars! The check in process and parking was easy. My wife and I booked this hotel last minute as we were passing through and we are glad we did. I highly recommend this hotel. Great service, family owned, high quality rooms in close proximity to good food and drinks. If we are ever back this way again, we would defintatly stay at St Hugh.

Room itself was good but bathroom had stains on the back of the bathroom door that hadn't been cleaned either before or during our 3 day stay. There was a large amount of chipped paint on the cabinet under sink and generally the bathroom needed updating. Good points, good convenient location and nice staff. Restaurant is good with excellent steaks especially if an Accor customer's discount and happy hour 5.30pm-6.30pm.

Very good, a lot of beds, but the child is just full age, the children's bed is not fenced, and older children can use it. There is a parking lot. Customer service attitude is very good, very detailed introduction

The name of the accommodation, the marketing blurb and even some of the (mostly rather dated) reviews disguised the fact that this presents as basically just a better than average Best Western (perhaps ex-Best Western) motel. Our room itself was large and well furnished, the bathroom a standard small size. Although they boast of a restaurant on site that seemed designed primarily as an up-market venue for outside customers; closed at breakfast and breakfast was available only as delivered to the room. Room servicing was only partial (beds made but bins not emptied and cups left dirty). ”Complimentary parking”: - well yes, there would be, as this is a motel. For a rate going up to $240 a night for a pleasant motel room they must have a successful business model and good marketing which does emphasise the availability of larger rooms and suites.

In the town that enters at night, it is easy to find by navigation. There is a gas station and food next to the hotel. The bed is very wide, the mattress is very comfortable, and free parking is recommended.
