Arrived at the hotel to be greeted by a man leaning over the reception desk with half his backside on show. The staff were gathered around discussing the rota and continued to do so whilst we were checking in. The place looked very tired and had a musty smell, definately needs some updating and deep cleaning. I think that £70/night... More

I have not stayed here so I cannot review the bedrooms but I have used it for a few business meetings now and I find the whole place just to be a bit disappointing. Everything about it is simply lacking. The rooms used are scruffy with peeling paint and scuffs all over, the decor is random and a bit dated,... More

I've stayed at this hotel twice - both times I booked at the last minute and got the only available room, a tiny single on the top floor. Very basic, but clean and perfectly adequate. As other reviewers have said, the location is unbeatable. On my first stay the wi-fi worked, the second time it didn't, so I have to... More

Stayed here overnight recently and was fine for one night. Overlooking The Pantiles it was a very convenient place to stay after going to a gig nearby. The hotel does need updating and is in a time warp, but is full of character. Yes it is expensive, but for a hotel on The Pantiles this is what one would expect.... More

The Pantiles Hotel provides good plain food. Will provide off menu animal free variants. And non-fried and no cheese options like a good hotel should but a reasonable price. Tunbridge Wells is poorly served with places that will do these things to accommodate all people in a group. Large companies do it in other towns but the policy is as... More

We arrived for a family party for a one night stay. As we walked to our room, there was a big leak coming through the middle of the ceiling onto the landing, I went down to reception to tell them and just got the reply, 'oh must just be the guttering'. Nothing was done about the leak the whole time... More

Well! We read the reviews before we went to this hotel........Our dear friends were getting married on the Pantiles and hired the whole hotel for family and friends. The location was great and the senior management were very accommodating also but one particular bar person (small middle aged man) was incredibly rude and abusive. The rooms are tatty and the...
