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.

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.

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.

Nice cosy English hotel.

Third time using this hotel, staff are friendly and eager to help. The property is a typical old English hotel with no elevator but has a cosy feel of which my family enjoyed on all three stays.

Highly recommend

I would highly recommend staying at the Russell Hotel. It is situated just minutes from the town centre. The staff are warm and welcoming and helpful. The room and bathroom were both spotless. The bed was comfortable and made with crisp, cotton sheets. I enjoyed a good nights sleep. Breakfast was beautifully cooked and delicious.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I needed parking and the hotel has a free parking facility for its clients, a big plus. The staff was friendly and cooperative. The breakfast was as hearty as you wish it to be and service was prompt. The central location of the hotel was ideal. This quaint old-fashioned hotel does not have an elevator but knowing this in advance helps. There were no toiletries -minor inconvenience. The price was reasonable and the room and bedding clean. I had no need for any of its other services. If I had to return to the area, I would be content to stay there again.
