Village Hotel Maidstone - Contemporary Convenience
In the heart of Kent, often lauded as the Garden of England, lies Maidstone, a county town that now hosts Village Hotel Maidstone. This is a sleek and stylish property that offers a comprehensive array of facilities, positioning itself as a practical and modern choice for travellers. It's the sort of place that anticipates needs, ensuring a smooth and comfortable stay whether you're here for business or leisure.
Location
Situated right in the centre of Maidstone, the hotel places guests within easy reach of this charming county town. For those drawn to the allure of London, it's a manageable 60 km journey to London City. While Maidstone itself offers a pleasant setting, the hotel's primary appeal lies in its accessibility rather than a dramatic geographical setting; there are no towering mountains or dramatic sea vistas here, but rather the quiet convenience of a central English location. Nearby, you'll find historical markers like Allington Castle (1.5 km) and the Maidstone Museum and Bentlif Art Gallery (2.5 km), providing a touch of local colour.
Style and Character
The Village Hotel Maidstone presents a modern, no-nonsense aesthetic. Its character is defined by its functionality and contemporary design, aiming for a bright and efficient atmosphere. While it may not possess the historical gravitas or curated opulence of older establishments, it certainly delivers on a clean, updated feel, suitable for its purpose as a convenient hub. The VWorks coworking space, for instance, injects a modern entrepreneurial spirit into the hotel's public areas.
Service and Facilities
The hotel's strength lies in its extensive range of facilities. Guests have access to the Village Gym, a truly impressive space featuring state-of-the-art equipment, a swimming pool, jacuzzi, sauna, and steam room - it's certainly one of the best fitness centres in the area. Beyond this, there's a Starbucks for your caffeine fix and the VWorks space, offering flexible office solutions and meeting rooms. The hotel also positions itself as a capable venue for events, with 9 air-conditioned meeting rooms accommodating up to 200 people, promising stylish accommodation and catering to make any occasion more memorable. It's essential to pre-book tables for dining, a practical note for those planning their stay.
Rooms
Room categories at Village Hotel Maidstone are straightforward and cater to various needs. Standard double and twin rooms offer essentials like free WiFi, a flat-screen TV, and workspaces, along with a Sealy Posturepedic bed for a comfortable night's sleep. Superior rooms elevate the experience with additional perks such as upgraded toiletries, a premium coffee machine, and extended check-in/out times, plus a complimentary 'Village sweet treat'. Family rooms are available, furnished with a double bed and two rollaway beds suitable for younger children. Notably, the Club Rooms are not suitable for children or infants. All rooms include comforts such as laptop-friendly workspaces and free WiFi.
Food and Drink
The Village Pub & Grill serves as the hotel's all-day dining venue, offering a varied menu that includes breakfast favourites, a selection of fish and steaks, healthier options, and desserts. For a more casual experience, the on-site Starbucks coffee shop provides a range of hot drinks and snacks in a relaxed setting, perfect for catching up or a quick bite. While specific chef highlights aren't detailed, the emphasis is on providing accessible and satisfying options for all guests.
Value for Money
The hotel makes a compelling case for value, especially with its extensive gym and pool facilities included in many room rates, particularly for Superior rooms. The 'relaxing break for 2' package, starting from £29, suggests affordability. The inclusion of free WiFi, parking (in Superior rooms), and comprehensive dining options adds to the overall perceived worth. It's a practical choice where the cost seems to align well with the amenities provided.
Accessibility
While specific details on accessible rooms are not provided, the hotel's modern construction suggests a degree of accessibility. The emphasis on functionality throughout the property would likely extend to ensuring ease of movement for guests with mobility considerations where possible.
Family-Friendly
Family rooms are available, equipped to accommodate younger travellers, though rollaway beds are limited to children up to 12 years old. It's important to note that Club Rooms are not suitable for children or infants. The hotel's central location in Maidstone makes it a convenient base for exploring local family attractions, and the inclusion of a large gym and pool might also be a draw for active families.
“What stands out here are the modern gym and the flexible workspaces, a real advantage for business travelers who want to stay active or need a place to focus. The pool is a definite highlight, and the family-friendly atmosphere makes it a practical choice for those traveling with children. It's a solid option if you're looking for a mix of work and leisure, though some rooms might feel a bit warm during the summer months.”
