King Hotel Tenterden

A complete waste of time. I couldn’t use the original booking as I had a family emergency. I was told I could have a credit to use another time. Wanted to use this weekend if they had availability. Tried calling, texting and emailing several times not one reply Wouldn’t waste you time just very rude So unhelpful

My wife and I stayed at The Kings Hotel near Tenterden in Kent for a 3 night break and enjoyed our stay for a variety of reasons. Firstly, the staff were lovely, helpful and friendly and couldn't do enough for you. Secondly, the hotel is also home to one of the best Indian restaurants in Kent/the South East, which has an excellent menu with some unusual and delicious options such as Scallops, Venison and Duck all beautifully cooked with tasty spices, sauces and so on. The room was decent enough (especially given the price) with tea/coffee making facilities, TV, air-conditioning, free WiFi, and on-site parking. The hotel/restaurant itself is situated a few minutes drive away from the lovely town of Tenterden which is also home to the Kent and East Sussex Steam Railway (a must for any visitor (I also recommend the tap room right next to the station which has a superb selection of beers and regular live entertainment). I can't really fault the hotel to be honest (probably the only thing to mention is that the door to the shower in our room didn't open very wide and I personally found it a bit of a squeeze to get through it!) but, if you want someone close to Tenterden and the surrounding area (there were several places to eat within a few minutes drive (we ate in The White Lion in Tenterden and The Chequers on the Green (just a 3 minute drive from the hotel) both of which were good choices) but not in the town itself (there were several places to stay in Tenterden itself but they were more expensive and parking could also be an issue at times) The Kings Hotel is good (were already planning our next visit/stay as we discovered that the restaurant host regular live events and we quite fancy the Freddie Mercury tribute night!).

The hotel is really clean which is a must for me, the bed however is rather on the small side in room 21 and the shower was rather difficult to use. However that being said it was a pleasant stay. Heating was really good in the rooms as well . Would stay again.

An overnight stay with family at this newly built hotel was excellent. Very nice rooms, well equipped and very comfortable. Lovely shower and bathroom facilities, and nice and warm. (We stayed during a very windy, wet and cold storm) The staff were helpful, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Quite reasonably priced too. We passed on breakfast in favour of a nearby greasy spoon, but overall a good night’s stay, we will certainly stay here again. Thanks to all involved!

Looking for an hotel close to Benenden hospital, came across this on a search of the area. We were amazed at this hotel from original visit to book to staying last night. We booked a fully inclusive double room with dinner and breakfast included. Nothing was too much trouble from assigning a ground floor room to a slightly earlier breakfast time. One point which stood out for us was the cleanliness of everywhere, marble floors and walls shone. All hotel linen was first rate. Dinner last night was perfect, amazing flavours and perfect balance of spices. Breakfast this morning was very good, great coffee and a cooked meal with toast. The staff went out of their way to provide terrific service. The owner should be proud of them, first class. We hope to return especially for a tribute night.

We appreciated the 2pm check in and arrived shortly after. We were welcomed by the hostess who explained about dinner (promoting restaurant next door) and about breakfast. The accommodation reminded us of one we may have seen from the ‘Four in the Bed’ tv show. Some rooms are located near main desk so heard a few noises from people walking but not a great deal. Once in the room, it is small, not much wiggle room. I was pleasantly surprised on the décor for the price you pay. Beautifully decorated. There were standard sizes towels (one did have a stain on it) but nice room. Bathroom was nice. The description says it provides toiletries, I’d bring your own as it’s a tube of body wash. We had 2 tubes, that had been opened and used by prior guests I’m assuming. The toilet did have a brown mark in the bowl but this went away with a flush. The shower could do with grouting , where some of the mould is. The bathroom is on small size. But for £100, this is what you get. The restaurant smelt lovely and was very busy popular so booking ahead is advised.
