Excellent hotel, perfect location

Excellent hotel in a perfect location for our visit. We stayed on the 3rd floor at the front of the hotel. Comfortable room. Some noise from passing inebriants, but nothing to keep us awake and to be expected in such a busy area. Fantastic restaurants close by and the Assembly hall just a short walk. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely location in the historic part of Royal Tunbridge Wells known as The Pantiles. Lovely furniture in the room, equipped with tea and coffee facilities. However the nespresso machine, telephone and bed end boards were covered in dust.

The only disappointment was just a cup of coffee for breakfast and not a pot! Making breakfast quite an expensive meal.

Room Service WILL Happen!

The hotel is Amazing! I honestly disliked the fact that there's a NO ROOM service card to hang in the door. My interiors and laptop were left folded like nothing had happened. I personally dont like that option to NOT have that option.

Nice but wont stay again... would eat there again!

Lovely location for a stay in Royal Tunbridge Wells. We were on the top floor, 5 levels of very narrow and winding stairs, no lift. It was manageable but a little annoying. Staff were friendly. The room is quite small but sufficient. It was cold with a draft from the windows, often rattling in the wind. We also discovered a very large wet patch in the wall and floor in one corner, which we did mention upon check out. This is a major issue that needs addressing. We received an apology but nothing else. Be aware, parking is provided by crossing over a busy road. Also, charged at £10 per day! We ate in the restaurant and I can only provide compliments. The food was fantastic, perfectly served and cooked.

Stayed for 3 nights for a business trip, I chose the hotel mainly as I've been to the area a few times, been quite disappointed with others in the area and wanted a hotel that had a good location for things to do after work. The hotel is within walking distance of the main shopping town, lots of restaurants and bars and train station too and it proved to be perfect for me! The immediate surrounding area of the pantiles was lovely with plenty going on if you don't want to stray far but even though it was busy I didn't get disturved by noise from the town below which was an initial worry, it's very convenient! I was on the Fourth floor, which had lots of stairs and as an old building, it had no lift, this was fine for me but definitely worth taking into account when booking as a special request if you have limited mobility! My room was impeccably clean, I've been in the area many times at other hotels and this hotel was the best by a mile! The coffee supplies, water and towels were changed daily and the bathroom was modern with great shower and bath facilities! I only ate in the restaurant once but found the food to be absolutely delicious and fresh, there was a great varied selection and very reasonably priced for a hotel! The check in/check out process was very smooth and all the staff I met were incredibly friendly and accommodating! 10/10 stay, I will be back again and highly recommend!

Lovely, characterful hotel. Stayed in the single room and it was great - had everything needed. It was very hot in the room, but imagine that'll be nice in winter. There are lots of narrow stairs, which makes walking with a suitcase difficult, but the staff member on check-in did offer to carry my luggage to my room. I look forward to staying again.
