Nice hotel with lovely grounds- but People really do make the place
Pros:

Well first I must state I’m not a hotel person but that wasn’t the case here it was like a home away from home. From the extremely warm and professional welcome from Iveta to Nicky and Lauren in housekeeping who were friendly and helpful.
I enjoyed a treatment by Beatrice while there which was lovely. Glen and Emma were amazing- honestly nothing was not too much bother. Breakfast was amazing I have found at times ‘younger staff’ can be less enthusiastic- but not here! Madison & Skye were personable, professional and such a delight!
My daughter had sat her exams and they left a beautiful card and two same cakes which really made her feel special.
Last but most definitely not least Ina- wow her warmth, helpfulness was second to none. Thank you all for showing the difference people make to a place. I was throughly impressed and thankful.

Cons:

The building is older so shows some signs of this- but still very nice. Also due to the age there was no air con and the fan was shockingly bad. No net curtains either so had to be drawn as not to be seen as our room was at the front of the house. But the warmth of the staff made up for these small imperfections.

Wonderful combo treatment
Pros:

I am a member at Brands Hatch Spa and have had a few treatments over the years which have all been lovely. However this particular one with Beatris stood out even more. I had the combo so half an hour with a facial and half an hour back and neck massage. It was so relaxing and what I loved was when I was having the face mask Beatris then did me a lovely neck and shoulder massage and a scalp one too. I felt truly relaxed and my skin felt wonderful after. Thank you very much.

Overall, we had an enjoyable stay thanks to the friendly staff, clean room, good breakfast, and attractive grounds.
Pros:

We stayed at Brands Hatch Hotel & Spa on Sunday 15th June. The hotel is set in lovely grounds, and the reception staff were very welcoming and friendly on arrival.

We stayed in Room 1, which was clean and well presented. However, the double bed was quite small for us, and in hindsight we probably should have upgraded our room. While comfortable enough, some of the rooms could benefit from modernisation to bring them up to date.

One thing worth noting is that the hotel has a lot of stairs and split-level areas, which may make it difficult for guests with mobility issues or those who struggle with stairs.

We made use of the terrace area on our first day when the weather was nice. Unfortunately, it felt a little neglected and could do with some TLC. There were quite a few cobwebs, cushions were scattered around, and it lacked atmosphere. It felt as though chairs had simply been placed there without much thought given to creating an inviting space.

Our main reason for visiting was to use the spa facilities. The changing rooms were extremely hot as the air conditioning appeared to be broken. There was also maintenance work taking place, which created some noise while we were trying to relax by the swimming pool. We was not informed of this when booking. At one point, condensation was dripping from the ceiling onto the indoor lounge area, making the spa feel rather stuffy a door was opened at some point which helped a bit.

The sauna and steam room were both enjoyable, and the hot tub was a pleasant temperature. However, there was visible soap scum around the edge, and it appeared unusually foamy. I mentioned this to a member of staff, who advised that it had been cleaned the previous evening, but nothing appeared to be done during our visit.

Breakfast offered a good selection of options, allowing us to choose exactly what we wanted. Everything was well presented and freshly cooked to order.

Overall, we had an enjoyable stay thanks to the friendly staff, clean room, good breakfast, and attractive grounds. However, a little more attention to maintenance, and updating some areas of the hotel and spa would significantly improve the guest experience.
