Excellent Stay in Tunbridge Wells

spacious roombeautiful decortasty foodhelpful team
I appreciated the Beautiful Double room. It was spacious with beautiful decor. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner were tasty and well presented. The ESPA Personalised facial treatment with Svetlana was refreshing and relaxing. The Spa reception team were helpful. The gym had a variety of equipment. I saw treadmills, rowing machines, and free weights.
The shower head almost worked. The blind in the bathroom was broken. I couldn't raise it because the cord was faulty. The decor seemed worn with stained walls and a tired carpet.

Great Experience with a minor hiccup

spacious roomking size bedwalk-in showernespresso pods
I was upgraded to a spacious room with a king size bed on arrival, a nice surprise. The bathroom included both a roll top bath and a large walk in shower. Complimentary Nespresso pods and water were provided in the room. Bath robes and slippers were also available for our use.
Drinks prices were a bit high during the party I attended. Some staff was strict and constantly reminded us about safety rules. The portions during the three-course dinner were not very generous.
