+The hotel was closed with nobody there. The owners were missing and the hotel was locked up. We had to phone the manager but he would not be there until 8pm. The building was derillict and up for sale. We had to find another hotel. I would like my money refunded.

+I assumed that this was a pub-hotel - but it isn't. It is more akin to a guest house, which you need to bear in mind if you are likely to be late (as I did). I guess it was once a pub but now just caters for guests - mostly walkers when I was there. Breakfast (cooked to order) was around a table with the other guests which proved to the most enjoyable breakfast I've experienced in any hotel. It's a place for people who value a friendly good value experience and don't mind that it isn't the Hilton. Its next to a road, but the area area Chilham and Godmersham is beautiful and historic.

+Note, The Old Alma does not use Hotelsdotcom -platform. I made a reservation and it was not found (and the hotel was fully booked). Nice owners were sorry and explained that this hotel is not available via Hotelsdotcom at all.

“Disappointing stay”
+There was no hot water in the room. We could use the shower in another room, but could not move to this room. They say there is free parking available, but we were charged an amazing GBP20,- per night for parking our trailer tent. The inn is for sale. While the rooms look reasonable, the general impression is that the inn is in need of renovation, with non-working locks and poorly screened-off storage areas.

“Lovely stay”
+The decor was lovely and very clean. The bathroom was gleaming and they provided everything you need. Breakfast is made to order. Hosts were friendly.

+Met by a friendly, helpful lady who brought a hairdryer to me. room was clean and bed comfortable. Shower poor. But the main complaint was after a short dog walk the male owner told us we hadn’t paid for dogs. We told him we thought we had - he then said it was £40 extra! Asked for cash- machine wasn’t charged for card/ he could barely talk as so drunk! Had to wait about 20 mins in reception for card reader. After 6 hour journey just wanted bed! Supposed to be smoke free hotel but he was smoking and drinking at reception which stunk of smoke- I’m asthmatic! Went on about Expedia charging a fortune and them getting nothing. We read after paying that it was meant to be £5 a dog! Said they could do us a take away omelette for breakfast at 8 ( we needed to leave before this so had nothing! Wish we’d booked the Travelodge!
