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.

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?

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.

Good VFM accommodation in the area with a great breakfast.
Mark, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

Cheap, rooms were very dated I was expecting to see Rigsby in the hotel. Other clientele in the hotel were something to be desired but not hotels fault.
Christopher, 1-night trip

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.
