The Tunbridge Wells Hotel - (Near East Sussex, london)

4 /5 James H: You have to like stairs and that cosy pub feel as the reception is the bar. Get past that and you can easily appreciate the perfect location, slice of history building and it was actually great having a nice bar on the ground floor as well as a very good breakfast.

1 /5 Mick Pumford: Absolutely shockingly overpriced tat. Find an alternative to avoid the disappointment. Service crap, rooms crap, advertised rooms booked DO NOT match what is paid for. The location is great, but there is much to much that lets a historic building down, starting with the price. I would fairly rate the value around £40 with breakfast. Anymore than that and you wasted your money, be warned!!

5 /5 Stephanie Arlow: Only went in here for a cocktail after work but I have to say the atmosphere was calm and happy, Staff were friendly and funny. Have to commend the staff being in catering can be stressful and they always seem to be positive no matter the covers. Bar manager was a great character, Lovely espresso martini asked how I wanted it but I said do what you think is best and could fault it. Thank you guys and girls

2 /5 James Carlisle: To get to our room 51, we had to climb 67 steps up 5 flights of narrow staircases each time. The bed was a small 4ft wide double sleigh style bed, completely impractical for someone over 6ft to sleep in! The room hadnt been cleaned properly before we had access as there was someone elses hair spray bottle behind an armchair. The en suite toilet you had to push the lever back up to stop the cistern continually emptying after a flush. There was a table fan running constantly in our room due to no air conditioning. This was supposed to be a superior room! I get this hotel is in an old building, however at £160 for a Saturday night booked in advance, we would have had better facilities and a comfier stay for less money in a premier inn!

5 /5 Lukasz Przybylski: The restaurant at The Tunbridge Wells Hotel offers a wonderfully warm and refined atmosphere that makes every visit feel special. The interior blends classic charm with a welcoming, homely feel — soft lighting, elegant décor, and thoughtful details create a space that invites you to relax from the moment you walk in. One of the restaurant’s most captivating features is the fireplace at the heart of the room. Its gentle glow adds a sense of comfort and intimacy, especially on cooler evenings, making it the perfect place to enjoy a leisurely dinner, a glass of wine, or a quiet moment with good company. Combined with attentive service and beautifully presented dishes, the ambiance of the restaurant makes every meal feel memorable. It’s a place where warmth, character, and good taste come together effortlessly.
