spacious room comfortable room bedside water early closure no food takeaway meal
the double room was spacious and comfortable. i liked the classical music that played when i entered the room. bottles of water were provided at the bedside , and tea and coffee were available.
the kitchen closed early at 6pm , so no food was available in the lounge bar. i was informed i could order a takeaway , but i did not want that. i felt disappointed i could not enjoy a nice meal in the restaurant.

solid stay near the centre

friendly staff central location lovely room
the breakfast room was beautifully decorated. staff were friendly and efficient. i found the hotel well positioned near central tunbridge wells. the room, a superior double room, was lovely (it had great natural light).
the hotel could benefit from a deep clean in the communal areas. i noticed the carpet and bedding in my room seemed a little stained and tired. a water jug or large bottle of water in the room would have been a nice touch (better than small bottles).
