The pictures of the hotel and the room are nothing like the real thing. The hotel Is dated with a rather bleak atmosphere and is not too pleasant. Our room was facing the street with a horrible view of the entrance roof. Our reservation was half board so included dinner at the Bistro. We then found out our meal was very limited and had to pay extra with every meal. Breakfast, however, was very nice in terms of food and service but again, very bleak. We had an OK minus stay.
This is the view from our room.

a great place to stay

I look for quality and value for money; I want a clean spacious room; I want a restaurant that delivers good quality food; I want quiet; convenience in the centre of town... I stay regularly at the Hotel du Vin in Tunbridge Wells as it delivers on everything

Delivers on many fronts, classic room small.

Friendly boutique hotel with lovely gardens, it has a nice relaxed feel to it. Classic room was small, felt squashed. Bathroom had power shower, which was great, L'Occitane toiletries excellent. Bed comfy but only standard size. If there for more than a couple of nights I would want bigger room. Brreakfast good sleection and cooked breakfast tasty and well presented,can take a little while as cooked completely fresh to order. Overall I think expensive

Generally good, but additional staff training reqd

The hotel itself was very good, and well situated, with comfortable clean rooms, and the breakfast was also very good. The only real downside was the staff attitude in general: whilst they completed their tasks, they were not particularly friendly and welcoming, which, in a town where other hotels are available, is particularly important! Mangemnt need to do some additional customer service training.

Great hotel, poor room.

After looking forward to our stay, we can honestly say, the general hotel is lovely- however the room we had was very disappointing. The room was so small, you could not swing a cat! It was so small you could not put a suitcase anywhere other than on the bed. I would recommend the hotel just for a visit/food, just don’t bother staying over!

Good hotel and nice garden and attentive staff. Only 3 stars as I needed 30 minutes late checkout so I could have teams call. They wanted to charge me £15 for this which I thought is poor and a bit grabby. I understand if it’s for hours and how it would mess up a cleaning rota etc , but for 30 minutes ? Really! Won’t be using this chain again because of this policy.

The staff were polite and helpful, but in both the bar and restaurant the service was slow and inattentive. No table service in the bar and an overly long wait between starter and main course, whether due to lack of staff or insufficient training.

Smooth luxury in the heart of Tunbridge Wells

My wife and I celebrated our wedding anniversary at the Hotel du Vin in Tunbridge Wells and thought it was lovely. We booked a junior suite for two nights (Mon and Tues) so it wasn't cheap, but we were happy with the overall value. We didn't have dinner at the hotel (because of the mediocre restaurant reviews). The room was stylish and everything worked well (except the Nespresso machine!). The bed was enormous and very comfortable. Our room was at the front of the hotel and being opposite the police station I worried that it'd be noisy but it wasn't at all. The location is ideal for Tunbridge Wells town centre. Parking just up the road in the council's Crescent Road car park was easy and reasonable value. No need to pay £10 for a small hotel space out the front. Breakfast both mornings was decent quality, although the cooked food wasn't very hot and my full English didn't seem at all freshly cooked the first morning. Lots of choice though. All the staff were friendly and helpful throughout. Thank you.

Overall a decent hotel. Cooked breakfasts were particularly nice. Delicious smoked kippers with hard boiled eggs and toast soldiers. Excellent coffee from the coffee machine. Would have liked larger portions of fruit salad and plain yogurt to be offered in breakfast buffet (was provided on request). Bed comfortable. Kettle and fridge very welcome. Room perhaps needed a little more storage space. Climbing into bath perhaps a little difficult for our height - 5 foot 6 inches. Room had air conditioning but did not need to switch it on. Early 19th century property - lifts worked but quite old. Town centre - railway station and lots of restaurants and shops within a short walk. Car park not very large but we came by train. If using taxis make sure you have a price quote for journey.

If you want a full service hotel with a small inn or B&B feel to it - Hotel du Vin is a great choice. The food in the Bistro was excellent and the service from the team in the bar is wonderful as well. Great location for walking to local restaurants and shopping. We would definitely recommend the Hotel du Vin.
