The location is very convenient, on the Pantiles. The room here was a bit awkward and cramped but this is to be expected in the location. …

I came to the Tunbridge Wells Hotel for the second time recently. I had previously decided not to return after a horrible experience with rude staff, incorrect orders and a waitress putting ice in a water jug with her bare hands. …

An unexpected delay meant we needed a hotel in Tunbridge Wells at short notice. Husband booked this hotel after a quick scroll online to find a room. If only there had been time for more research! …

We had half a gazpacho served in a mug between two people and a small meze plate to share between 4 of us. We actually had to drink half the gazpacho and then pass the cup to the person next to us.  …

What an awful dining experience! Do not bother eating here, the food was literally crap personified! Firstly service was dreadfully slow, it’s quicker to get a drink in the Gobi desert! …

Ecletic hotel, rooms were decent enough, location was good, nice bar. Food wasn't good enough. Charged neary £38 for a lukewarm English Breakfast with one mushroom and half a tomato, a very small sausage with scrambled egg on soggy toast, greasy bacon, my partner had avacodo on sourdough toast with poached eggs, one egg was overdone and the other was barely cooked. Two black coffees and tap water. Shame, because the hotel is nice enough. Maybe concentrate on the guests instead of the passers by stopping for coffee etc
