Very relaxing experience
On a long bike packing adventure, stayed for one night and enjoyed a massage at the spa. Top notch hotel, very helpful solo receptionist also stored my bike in the concierge room. I slept well and had a great breakfast.

A nice place to stay
It is a nice and comfortable place to stay
It would have been convenient if there is a Bus service stop nearby from the Hotel to the Town Centre
We do not drive and it was expensive for us to get a taxi from the Hotel to Town Centre or to Ashford International Train station

The Key To a Good Night's Sleep
Hotel was decent however i definitely had higher expectations due to being an International Hotel and Spa, lady who checked us in at reception was very lovely, our room was in a good condition, despite a few faults however the air con wasn't working and in 30 degree heat it wasn't ideal. The restaurant in the hotel is lovely and portion sizes were perfect for us slightly overpriced but it was worth it. The lobby and reception was modern and kept very clean. We did check out the spa however the staff didn't seem as friendly and the pool etc didn't meet our expectation as we thought it would also the juccuzi wasn't working either.

Lovely spa day & overnight stay! Highly recommend
I enjoyed a wonderful spa day here with my friend. The spa amenities were good and the staff were lovely. We had a delicious lunch as part of the spa package. I then stayed the night in one of their normal, double rooms, which was lovely and spacious, the bed was enormous and so comfy (I need one of their pillows for home!). The bathroom was roomy and had everything you needed. Only one tiny complaint would be that there were no sockets anywhere near the bed, which was frustrating as I need to sleep with a small fan on, and here I had nowhere to plug it in.
Overall the stay was lovely, and I would definiteley stay again.

Our stay
Room was clean, staff was friendly, check in and out was easy. However, in our room bed was uncomfortable. We kept rolling off the bed all night. Mattress is probably too old or worn out.

NOT RUNNING WATER IN ROOM!
I thought about writing a really poor review on this hotel, however, previous stays have been not too bad.
However, this business stay was not good. After eating in the bar was really poorly the next day, to top this off, there was no running water in the room from 10am-3pm. This was reported but nothing done about it.
When requesting some kind of compensation for this the hotel flatly refused.
The hotel clearly has no consideration for loyal customers.
I have now lost faith in this hotel, so I think finding a new hotel for business trips is the way forward.
