Stayed here for 4 days on a coach holiday. Were given a very nice room up on the 3rd floor overlooking the garden. Service in the dining room at night was a bit hit and miss, you just had to be patient as there only seemed to be 2 serving. A bit inflexible if you wanted to skip a course,... More

The hotel is an old style "grand hotel" in a good seaside location and with good leisure facilities, including and 18 tee golf course. The problem is, however friendly some of the service is the facilities and furnishings are getting old and the security seems non-existent. Details make the difference. Having a seaside room is nice, having an exterior and... More

I stayed at the Mercure Hythe 2 weeks ago for a week-end break with a friend and we had a fantastic stay. The hotel is really elegant, nicely maintained and well located in close proximity to the seaside and within easy access to Hythe city centre.

My wife and I stayed in room 215 on Saturday 12 May 2012. Check-in receptionist was pleasant and helpful although reception area/lobby is very 'dark' and old fashioned. Room itself is very large by today's standards and was very clean (apart from one large stain on carpet) and well equipped (trouser press, tea/coffee, wired internet). Good view inland over gardens... More

Check in was long, as only 1 person on check in. Hotel very tired, and in need of renovation. Rooms are very old fashioned, and walls are paper thin, thus a very noisy hotel indeed. Breakfast quite expensive. Good location, right on beach. Staff fairly friendly. Very nice gym, but pool and jaccuzzi could do with a refurb. Also change... More
