Staff were fantastic. As a result of a late ending to racing I was too late for the evening menu. A short phone call to the Pub ordered sandwiches for when I got back. They were ready for me as soon as I got in.

Little Gem ideal for Brands Hatch

I try to stay here when working at Brands Hatch as it is just so convenient. Room are spacious, with great facilities, eg power points, fan, desk, sofa etc. Bed is very comfortable for a decent nights sleep and the rooms are very quiet. Great shower in the morning. Great food in the restaurant downstairs. Things to note, the car park is fairly small and if the restaurant is busy parking when you arrive in the evening can be tricky. Service this time in the restaurant was VERY slow on one of the three nights where it took an hour to be served the starter. There was a group in the following evening who didn't get their meals (despite having pre-ordered) until gone 9:30. That being said the food is worth waiting for. The final point is the Rising Sun Inn doesn't serve breakfast or evening meals on Sunday.

Great accommodation with restaurant.

I stay here when working at Brands because of the comfort of the accommodation and the convenience of being so close. The rooms are spacious, well equipped and particularly comfortable. Great shower. Restaurant and bar food is good although the menu seems to have been condensed since earlier in the year. Just gets slightly more restrictive when staying 4 nights. The only downside is parking is a bit limited when arriving back from the circuit later.

not a great stay

Unfortunately, when we arrived on the Sunday afternoon/early evening despite the website Hotels.com and their own saying they were serving food, they weren't and there was nowhere locally that was, so we had to drive to the Co-Op and have picnic dinner in our room. Our room was awful, dirty bed linen and an awful smell of over sprayed fabric cleaner. The lady at the pub was about to go home but stayed on and changed our room, which was much better. After all of this, again despite the websites and the notice in the bedroom saying they served breakfast and had tall the timings, we were informed that breakfast was not being served.

There was an electric socket with wires taped over and a do not use sign. It was difficult to adjust temperatue on shower so it was either freezing cold or scolding hot. Beds were very low , more like camper beds. It was not value for money at £85 without breakfast.

Room was good except for a faulty shower head which meant most of the water dribbled out of the side. The lack of anybody around was perculiar though. Despite my checkin saying 11am I was greeted by a chef stood outside who looked confused as to why I was there and told me they weren't open for another hour before eventually someone appeared to let me in. There was a sign in the room with breakfast hours but when i got downstairs (within said hours) the whole premises was empty with not a soul around. After calling and just hearing the phone ring internally, I had to leave the keys by the bar as there was nobody to hand them to!

Positives - staff were friendly. Negatives - we had to swap rooms as Bed was broken, no signal, sheets were dirty and TV didn’t work Orders food at 5pm - it took one and a half hours to cook four burgers and a scampi - I had to ask the staff in the end.
