    • Good service, nice room
    • Exceptional service from hotel staff, very clean and comfortable accommodation and excellent breakfast
    • Food is fabulous

    Cons -

    • Not much, sound transmission from ext door bathroom.
    • I was expecting a bath tub . The room and bed is tiny for two people .
    • The pillows! I prefer feather Only thing I noticed was the coffee pod holder was really dusty I think they must’ve just missed it when cleaning. Couldn’t get a spot in the car park which is annoying, but nobody’s fault.

    Close to everything we needed. Staff were super friendly and nice! Bed was really comfortable, although a little small (standard double!) pillows were not up to my usual standard but I am quite fussy when it comes to pillows, they were a little bit hard! Room was clean, fully stocked with a coffee machine, radio, TV, wardrobe, full length mirror, soaps and lotions! It even had an iron and a hair dryer. Really lovely actually. The cleaners left a cute note, was a nice touch. The hotel was really quiet although when booking it said it was fully booked. Not much of an atmosphere in the bar on a Saturday night but I think Tunbridge Wells is generally quite quiet anyway. This isn’t a negative, if anything it’s a positive it wasn’t really busy!We would 100% stay here again, great value for money.

    I found the room was incredibly fancy, lots of space and well worth the money I spent!Me and my partner loved the vibe of the place abd breakfast was delightful, plan on visiting again in the future!

    I found the bed wasn't as comfortable as I was hoping, but as it was my first and only night there, and I have trouble sleeping in locations I am unfamiliar with I would say its more of a me problem

    9JamesPosted on: 2-16-2026

    Good location, excellent breakfast, parking at hotel, comfortable room, helpful hardworking staff.

    It would be great if they had a gym

    10StephenPosted on: 2-14-2026

    IIt was a beautiful experience. Clean, quiet and pleasant. The breakfast was excellent, the staff was very professional and polite. I would gladly come back here.

    7DeanPosted on: 1-25-2026

    Really lovely hotel and staff, location was great.

    Bed was way to firm for our taste and hard to get comfortable on.

    10AndrewPosted on: 1-23-2026

    Amazing location, close to the town. Room excellent, classic FM on the radio as we walked in. The tin bath was amazing.

    8NigelPosted on: 1-19-2026

    Good location large clean room

    Limited parking

    9GuyPosted on: 1-16-2026

    Spacious rooms with baths

    Lots of little steps as its an old building

    10DebsPosted on: 1-14-2026

    A beautiful stylish yet very friendly hotel.Decor is gorgeous, very well maintained & we cannot speak highly enough of the staff - especially Adam!

    It was too warm even with our radiators off & window open but honestly that's not really a moan but the only negative I can think of!

    8IainPosted on: 1-14-2026

    The rooms are very nice. The bar area is nice. The food in the restaurant is well-cooked and tasty.

    Unfortunately, they were caught up in the turmoil of the Tunbridge Wells no water situation, so it was not possible to have a shower. There was no warning at all that this had been a problem on and off for a few weeks until I asked.

    8PeterPosted on: 1-13-2026

    Nice bar and restaurant

    All good. Squeaky floors

    8GeoffPosted on: 1-13-2026

    Easy of checking and left bags before checkin time which was good . Food reasonable price for hotel

    Lounge bit cool in evening

    10JoannaPosted on: 1-12-2026

    Lovely hotel, gorgeous location, the extras with my 'suite' were great. The lovely radio on Classic FM when I got in was nice too. How clean it was

    The toiletries were in big bottles, so felt a bit like Premier Inn, which this is definitely not.

    10JoPosted on: 1-11-2026

    Very elegant hotel, waiting staff were very attentive. Breakfast was excellent, fast service, great quality food. Room was spacious and beautifully decorated. Lovely big bathroom.

    I arrived a bit early as I was attending a funeral. I was greeted with a bit of a frosty reception. It would have been nicer if they'd told me I could wait and buy a coffee or food.

    4SallyPosted on: 1-5-2026

    Good breakfast and location

    Unfortunately, it was a very busy weekend owing to the water problem in Tunbridge Wells so bad timing on our part
