Disappointing stay at the Kentish, staff were unfriendly, room was hot and stuffy and shared facilities were dirty, with a cockroach greeting us on arrival. Broken toilet, no toilet paper or new towels after staying for three days. Wouldn’t recommend.

Disliked: Amenities
It’s an historic hotel so the toilet and shared shower facilities were expected. However, the VERY cold rooms, minimal and jaded bed linen, no electric blankets and only one power point for heating, phone charger and kettle was not expected! Approx 20 police attended a disturbance and made arrests at the hotel on the Friday night and no attempt was made to notify residents or provide a safe alternative access to the hotel at night. On our return at 10.40pm we had to walk through police and disgruntled patrons to get into the hotel! The party continued outside till about 2am and car alarms sounded in the hotel carpark. I did not feel safe in that hotel! The bar and restaurant staff were very nice but the priority at this property is clearly the bar and restaurant ( both seem ok) but the hotel accommodation is badly outdated and very uncomfortable and the hotel guests seem to be a very low priority.
