A great hotel in the bustling Pantiles area

The hotel is on the main street accessed via a side alley with steps and parking is available across the road. A warm welcome on arrival. We had room 20 which was spacious and had a view onto the bustling Pantiles street area of TW. If you are like us a couple staying overnight for a nice dinner and a few drinks, this is actually a perfect place to stay. On the Sunday morning because we were up early, we decided to have breakfast at the hotel which is à la carte and I must say the coffee was of an excellent standard, akin with Black Sheep, so well done on that front. My partner’s sausage on sourdough was lovely and I had a light Toast/preserves which was also lovely. Service was understated but good. No air con but the fan was surprisingly effective. Enjoyed the stay.

Good location

The staff were great, the restaurant and food was good, the hotel is a little tired, my first room was unbearably hot and noisy being on a main road, but they kindly changed me to a different room with aircon, but I had to leave unexpectedly at 05.30 this morning due to an emergency at home and it was really difficult to exit the hotel because the door release button wouldn't work initially! But all ok in the end

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.
