Nice staff, very good fresh breakfast. Short walk into top of town. Rooms and general building "tired" and could with update but given the low price to stay no complaints

We had a wonderful time here. The hotel was in a very good location, easy walking distance from the town. We had a lovely twin room, which was very warm. We were greeted by a lovely lady, but all staff were great. The breakfast was delicious. We would go back.
First class staff throughout.
Especially helpful with specific difficulties
Best breakfast service in a long time and we take plenty of weekend holidays
During my stay the whole of Tunbridge wells had no water. When I called the team in the morning, they explained the situation (out of their control) still managed to get breakfast together for guests. They apologised profusely and communicated well about the situation so I could figure out what to do with the day. Then they honoured compensation for the night. A difficult situation with excellent customer service.

Great staff. Attentive service. But needs a refurbishment though.
We had a comfort room in the building next door. Lovely and spacious! Comfortable bed, huge bathroom with a four piece suite, small kitchenette with fridge & microwave and a seating area.
Similar to other reviews, lovely hotel though defor a little dated. Great location, parking available, really friendly and helpful staff. Would stay here again.
