Mercure Maidstone Great Danes Hotel
Hollingbourne, Maidstone, ME17 1RE, United Kingdom – Great location - show map
I requested an early check it and was pleased to find that when I arrived 1 hr and 50 minutes early, my room was ready for me. I was attending a wedding and had trouble zipping up my dress and the lovely cleaner who luckily was outside cleaning the other rooms was so helpful and polite in helping me. Thank you.

Peter,

Really helpful staff in regards of wheelchair access - hated the stupid stair lift so the staff made alternative arrangements. As for the restaurant I thought it was going to be a problem. As a vegan that chefs looked after me brilliantly. Shout out to Martin Glenn in the kitchen and all of the waitresses and Peter on front desk.

5 minutes walk Leeds Castle entrance so able to leave car parked at the hotel and stretch our legs, helpful staff gave us directions. 9 year old loved being able to play in the grounds while adults could sit outside. We ate dinner in the garden and it was lovely to know she was safe to run around and have fun. Childrens menu excellent value and good quality food. Waited quite a long time just to get one glass of wine at the bar before dinner. Seemed to be some problem with the till system rather than the staff.
