Tunbridge Wells Retreat Restaurant

Fantastic value for money. The room was clean, the bed was large and comfortable and the bathroom was huge with a roll top bath and separate shower. Tea and coffee making facilities in the room with complimentary shower gel and shampoo were as good as any other hotel I've stayed in. We will certainly be returning and I thoroughly recommend a stay here.

Have spent 3 nights here, very friendly staff, as not been to Tunbridge Wells before did not know area. We asked staff for some ideas of places locally to visit which they were more than happy to do. Hotel it's self is clean, comfortable, Breakfast is good with plenty of choice. Rooms are clean, beds comfortable, onsuite with good shower.

Visited here before for a steak meal for two and again this time for a stay in the hotel with breakfast. Food both times and the ambience in the restaurant has been amazing. Presentation to ingredients used, staff friendliness and value have all been amazing. Can't fault the restaurant in any way and would definitely re-visit. This time however, we stayed in the hotel on site. Sadly, this does not reflect the downstairs restaurant areas quality. Just a quick run down of our room; Hot tap twisted at the base when trying to turn it on, so had to hold it still. Curtain pole went downhill and was wedged in a hole in the wall at one end. Large cobwebs present in most areas on the window wall. Also dust. Bathroom blinds also very dusty. Carpet had stains in many places. Bathroom has had a coat of paint on the back wall. Unfortunately, it was in yellow unlike the rest of the rooms white, and had been painted by someone with no decorating skills. Yellow paint on the ceiling, woodwork and other areas. On the upside, the room had a nice view of the green opposite, lovely In the snow. Tea and coffee provided in the room along with hairdryer and iron/board. TV etc also included. Well priced hotel in my opinion but with some effort could be brought up to the standard of downstairs, improving it hugely. Parking is limited outside and over the road so be aware of this. Hotel also has a spa although I haven't seen or used this so cannot comment. Would definitely recommend the restaurant as food is amazing, the hotel is fine for a budget break but don't expect downstairs to reflect your room.

Nice big rooms at a decent price. Staff are very friendly. Easy walk to most of the town, close to the good bars and the pantiles are around 15 minutes away. Not quite 5 star due to the slightly old decor but definitely worth it. Had a room at the front which faces onto the road but it was pretty quiet as we were there during holidays and no one seemed to be driving.
