King Hotel Tenterden

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!).

Nice and clean. Friendly staff. Bed really comfortable. The hotel is near the road but we didn’t hear it. No bar but there is a restaurant attached so you could probably get a drink there. No choice with breakfast which is an additional cost, but what we had was fine.

Lovely comfortable stay This is a lovely little hotel , very cozy we didn't need anything, warm and also aircon in the rooms. Only thing was shower was extremely hot , whether they can make sure the cold setting is on first, it took a few minutes to figure , but better cold than hot first in my opinion, we have already a booking to go back , looking forward to new year here .

Great room, handy location

The hotel was very clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable and the room we had was quite spacious. The Indian restaurant attached to the hotel was excellent, with a great choice of the usual Indian dishes as well as some not found in most Indian restaurants in England. The staff were all very friendly and professional. All-in-all, we had a very good few nights stay.

Ok Stay Nice hotel, the radiators and towel rail were set to be on full blast which was unnecessary and the towel rail couldn’t be turned off. The staff were a bit rude at times.
