I WAS BOOKED WITH ST. GEORGE HOTEL BY MISTAKE AND PAID 330 FOR 2 ROOMS AND 3 NIGHT STAY I DID NOT SHOW UP BECAUSE LIKE I SAID I WAS LOOKING FOR ANOTHER HOTEL AND MISTAKENLY BOOKED ST. GOERGE. AFTER A DAY OF NO SHOW, THIS HOTEL FRAUDULENTLY TOO THE 300 FROM MY BANK ACCOUNT AND LEFT ME AND MY FAMILY WITH NO MONEY AT ALL I WROTE TO THE HOTEL STATING MY PREDICAMENT AND SPOKE WITH THE MANAGER FRAN BUT SHE WOULDN'T REFUND MY MONEY EVEN ON HUMANITARIAN GROUNDS. BUT THE HOTEL ROOM WAS DEFINITELY GIVEN TO ANOTHER GUEST FOR THE DURATION OF MY SUPOOSED STAY. SHE INSISTED ITS THE HOTEL POLICY TO TAKE MY MONEY BECAUSE I DID NOT CANCEL. PLEASE STAY AWAY FROM THEM. NO HUMANITY IN THEIR BUSINESS AND THIS WILL BE REPORTED ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR THIS ACT OF WICKEDNESS

Lovely staff, it's a big old building but is kept safe and the full English next morning was worth every mouthful

This Hotel shares a building with Dragon Coworking Offices. To access the the offices there's a side entrance, but for new visitors, they will likely approach the St George Hotel Desk. I mentioned to receptionist I'm here for Dragon Coworking. Despite being a grown adult, she appeared totally incapable of using her words. She rolled her eyes at me and said nothing. Luckily, the very polite and respectful owner of Dragon Coworking was there to greet me once he overheard my one-way conversation with the receptionist.

I imagine if you stay at this hotel and have complaints or enquires, you'll be treated the same. I have no idea how such a rude, anti-social woman managed to secure - and remains employed in - a client-facing role. Avoid this Hotel if you'd like to be respected.

Cheapest hotel I could find in the environs of Maidstone. Surprisingly good quality. Room is big, bathroom is clean, the bath is a good size, the view from the room (108) is spectacular. Breakfast is included in the price and a simple evening meal can be bought in the bar. Great value for money.
