Always a pleasure to stay at the Kings Arns.
Always a pleasure to stay at the Kings Arms. The staff are always welcoming, friendly and professional.
Rooms are clean and have all amenities. Showers could do with a deep clean around the silicon fastenings. Otherwise they are fine.
My no.1 preference for a stay in Godalming.

Nice but noisy early bins!
Nice hotel in the centre of town, staff are friendly but I always get woken up by the bins being pulled/dragged through the hotel courtyard from the rear of the hotel at 5am in the morning!

Lovely old coaching inn. Check in was friendly and we were shown to our room. Rooms recently refurbished with very plush furnishings. We had a superior double. Lovely little touches like bottles of water, tea, coffee, hot chocolate and biscuits, great toiletries, even a pillow spray. Didn't have breakfast so can't comment. Like that they have kept the tradition of the building with pictures of the historical person and a description. Would stay here again if visiting Godalming

Comfortable room with excellent shower
Friendly service with a comfortable room and coffee service. The bed was very comfortable with excellent on suit shower.
On arrival the room was very cold, the heating should really be switched on.
Breakfast was poor, a half of a small tomato and hard bacon that you couldn't cut.
