Little get away

Very nice rooms, lovely small touches like leaving the radio on for when you go into your room. Makes a difference. Only two faults were: only one towel in room and the toilet look brush wasn’t clean. Will happily stay again however.

Great stay at this hotel. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Rooms were clean and had good bath/shower facilities. Minor grumble at breakfast with coffee less than luke warm, but everything else was spot on. Would recommend and stay again.

Lovely hotel. Slow service. Our room was a decent size with a nice bath. A lot of noise can be heard between rooms but this is the case in many hotels.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Royal Wells. It's in a great position above the town centre with really nice bar and restaurant areas and a very comfortable room. We will definitely stay here again if we are visiting Tunbridge Wells.
