Reviews and Ratings
The hotel room was disappointing overall. Although the staff were friendly and helpful, the rooms were unclean, and for the price we paid, we expected better quality and cleanliness. The location was convenient but lacked character, and the dining experience was average at best. However, the service was quite good overall.
The 'privilege' room for £149 without breakfast was a complete disappointment due to the dated look and worn furniture. However, the hotel staff, especially Alisha the barmaid, were welcoming and professional. The location, close to Tunbridge Wells, was convenient despite some flaws like old furniture and strange smells. The dining experience lacked readiness and taste. Overall, the hotel offers mixed experiences.
The hotel is cozy and welcoming with friendly staff, though the lack of air conditioning in the rooms can be uncomfortable. The dining options can be hit or miss, but the service is top-notch.
