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.

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!

Close to Benenden hospital and the town of Tenderden. Clean and nicely presented rooms. Staff were friendly at check in. Just off the mainroad with easy on site parking. Very good value for money. Did not eat there but there is an Indian restaurant on site.

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.

Excellent. Staff exceptionally friendly and accommodating. If thinking of booking ring direct first as they offer fair prices. Away from the town so you would need to drive if you want to venture out be we ate in the restaurant and would highly recommend. Food is authentic. We will definitely return when next in the area.
