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.
