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.

Basic, handy location

Staff helpful. Room in attic, so no windows that could open and blinds not great. No lift. Lot of noise from next room's bathroom fan. Furniture tired. Reasonably clean. Breakfast good. Chosen for parking which I obtained, but is very limited. Handy location for the centre of town.

A good stay

I had a room in the annex and after staying at this hotel numerous times before, this was one of the better rooms. Updated bathroom, although the rest of the hotel is very dated. It was clean, the bed was comfortable and the man on the check in desk was very helpful and pleasant.

Enjoyable overnight stay.

The Russell Hotel is close to town and we would have no hesitation in returning on any future visits to Tunbridge Wells. The staff were all very pleasant and helpful and we were lucky enough to be able to enjoy free parking. Our bedroom and bathroom were spacious and clean. Breakfast being included was a definite plus and tasted delicious.

This is a lovely old Victorian building, quote central in Tunbridge Wells, the rooms were small, but clean and warm. The staff were all very nice and friendly, accommodating and helpful. The breakfast was good, nothing fancy but nice nonetheless. The bed wasn't very comfortable and the TV was tiny. The whole place seemed somewhat faded and a bit tatty, definitely very dated (the bathrooms and furnishings especially), but it was adequate for a couple of nights.

Enjoyable overnight stay

This is the second time we have stayed at the Russell Hotel and once again found the staff most pleasant and extremely helpful. Our room, bed linen & towels were spotlessly clean and the inclusive breakfasts were delicious. Being so close to town, it is convenient if you wish to see a show at The Assembly Hall Theatre, browse the shops, meet friends or just explore Tunbridge Wells in general. Would have no hesitation in returning, should we visit this historic town in the future.

Pleasant stay

Very welcoming staff. Breakfasts were very well cooked and plenty for us. We had a large accessible room, the only drawback was to get to the room there were a few steps which I found difficult and this room would not be suitable for a wheelchair user. I believe there many be other accessible rooms available.
