FAQs about hotels in Kent

The Peaceful Garden of England

The so-called Garden of England, Kent is known for its lush greenery. Although within easy reach of London, it’s a world away from the hustle and bustle. So much so, that at many Kent hotels, spa facilities come as standard. One is, unsurprisingly, in the sophisticated spa town of Royal Tunbridge Wells.

Nearby in Lamberhurst is medieval Scotney Castle, surrounded by a moat. Also moat-bound and with Kent accommodation available on Booking.com are Hever Castle and Leeds Castle (the latter in a village not to be confused with the city of Leeds).

The county town is Maidstone, but its most famous city is Canterbury, whose magnificent cathedral is the seat of the Church of England’s highest post. Rochester also has an impressive cathedral.

To the west is Margate, one of the top Kent seaside towns. Other resorts with long beaches are Broadstairs, Ramsgate and Deal. Around the coastline, Dover is known for its white cliffs, castle and the ferries crossing the English Channel to France. To the west is the Channel Tunnel by Folkestone, and Eurostar trains from St Pancras also stop at Ashford inland.

Other popular Kent attractions are the Romney, Hythe and Dymchurch railway, Brands Hatch motor racing circuit, and the conical oast houses so typical of this part of England.

Abode Canterbury is definitely the best hotel in town! The rooms are top of the line and fitted with one of the most comfortable mattresses that I’ve had the pleasure to sleep on. Everything about Abode is impeccable and the atmosphere wonderful. Breakfast is delicious and you can even place an order on your door knob at night for breakfast in your room. If you can afford it, this is one of the best hotel experiences overall. All of this plus the fact Abode is located in the heart of the Old High Street and a real relaxing and pleasurable experience. A really comfortable and lovely Hotel.

It's as good as everyone says it is. Don't let the white walls in the photos fool you into thinking it's drab. This place is classic understated elegance, and you can tell it was built to last and with quality. Seaside with rooms with a view (and binoculars!) , comfortable bed, modern bathroom, lovely downstairs area with 24/7 bar and an amazing buffet breakfast that provides a full English short of blood pudding. And 5 minute walk from freshly shucked oysters on the pier.

The Cathedral is undoubtedly the main tourist attraction and you need several hours to fully appreciate the architecture and the features of the building. It isn't a cheap day out (currently the cost of entry is £18.00 per person - October 2025) but still represents good value, as you can use this to visit any number of times within one year. Despite the distance we will go back again, as I now know there are several things we missed during our visit. There are other things to see, but we only had one day in the city itself and the Cathedral was our main choice to visit.

Pleasant. Would not stay again until there is a refurb and walls are soundproof due to hearing moans and groans in the room next door at 12am. I was staying with my daughter and it was not a nice experience. Jacuzzi has been faulty for over a month. Breakfast was mediocre, not good quality ingredients.

I have to say that Gravesend is not the prettiest of towns with many derelict buildings. The most impressive building in the town is the Sikh Temple. The town is very busy with traffic but is fairly easy to navigate around. We stayed in a very pleasant guest house outside of town which was perfect for going to Leo's Music Venue. This is the only reason we came to Gravesend. We ate at The Three Daws pub which has been pretty good on both times we visited. Traditional British Pub with a good British Menu. We had breakfast at The Hot Rod American Diner in Northfleet which again was very good!

Whitstable is pleasant seaside town.

Whitstable is pleasant seaside town. It has many small independent shops which means a better variety of goods are available. The high street is narrow but has two way traffic. This problem is mitigated by having many road crossing points and is a 20mph zone. There is a good variety of restaurants, cafes and tea shops to suit any budget. It is a great place to visit.

Faversham is a VERY old town.

Faversham is a VERY old town. It’s got some excellent places to eat, ancient pubs and is well located for other Kent cities like Canterbury, Rochester etc with excellent rail links. Market day is Saturday, often during the summer there will be something on Sunday as well. The Arden theatre is well worth a show. Highly recommended.
