Well situated hotel near the centre of Tunbridge Wells. Easy check-in, comfortable room.Small car park, which fills up early but once you realize it, parking is available on the main road nearby. The full English breakfast was excellent, staff were very friendly. Plenty of pubs and restaurants within 5 minutes walk for something to eat or drink in the evening.

Characterful hotel.

Middle of summer so hot, we had the windows open. The hotel is near main road so noisy. If it's hot, I recommend you ask for rear facing room.

Unbeknownst to us, we were upgraded to a very specious, well kept room that we felt very comfortable in. The breakfast included was also a surprise and very good. We appreciated the sincerity of those who were so helpful to us during our stay.

The Russell Hotel

The Russell Hotel is a good place to stay very close to Royal Tunbridge Wells amenities and attractions. We stayed here because we were going on the Spa Valley Railway Cheese Train on the Saturday afternoon and the hotel was an close enough to walk everywhere.

Russell Hotel

Excellent situation only 2 minutes walk from the town centre with free onsite parking. The staff are friendly with excellent service during breakfast time. The rooms are comfortable, if a little dated and the whole place would benefit from being freshly decorated. This is only a minor issue and I would happily stay there again in the future.
Steven, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very nice stay, thank you

I stayed two night's at the Russell Hotel. Absolutely no complaints, staff were approachable, friendly and helpful. Clean and comfortable accommodation. The building itself is old and quaint, within easy walking distance from the town centre. My room was at the very top of the building, my stay was during a heatwave, the hotel doesn't have aircon so the room was very hot, so sleep was difficult. I asked for a fan, but it had already been given to another guest. So perhaps the owners could consider buying a couple more fans?
