The staff were helpful but the room and amenities were dire. To enter the room, which was in the annexe, you had to walk through hundreds of cigarette ends and a bin which had not been emptied for ages, based on mess around it. To say the room was tired is an understatement. The carpet was threadbare and torn, the net curtains ripped and the bed ……. How do I describe that? Uncomfortable is being kind. I have never been on anything like it. Worn out, lumpy and the edges unyielding. Two single mattresses pushed together with a hard ridge at the join. No mattress cover either. On top of that the room is infested with clothes moths. The bathroom tiles had filthy grout and the shower head should be thrown out. Water taps needed persuading ……. How this hotel has a three star rating is beyond me. I am sorry but the staff are the only thing preventing one star.

The cleanliness and condition of my room were unacceptable. There were cobwebs in the bedroom, and the wallpaper was ripped in several areas. The bathroom was also in very poor condition, not clean with lots of visible mould, a dirty shower curtain, and multiple black stains across different areas of the ceiling. In addition, the carpet outside the bathroom was damp throughout my stay, and the room had not been properly cleaned, with sticky stains left on the furniture. The bar service was also far below standard. The drink selection was extremely limited, with basic options such as lemonade and orange juice unavailable. I also found that the photos on your website are misleading and do not reflect the current state of the rooms, particularly the bathrooms, which are in significantly worse condition than depicted. These should be updated to accurately show the actual quality.

My stay at the hotel above the Rose and Crown was genuinely awful from start to finish. When I checked in, the room wasn’t just dirty, it was unhygienic to a shocking level. There were used condoms in the toilet, human faeces left in the toilet, and old pizza boxes scattered around. I asked to be moved, hoping it was a one-off, but the second room wasn’t any better. Again, there was human faeces in the toilet, showing the rooms hadn’t been cleaned at all. To make things worse, when I ordered a drink downstairs, the pint I was served had visible floaters in it. When I asked for a refund, I was told they were unable to provide one, despite the drink clearly being undrinkable. The entire place felt like a genuine health hazard. Because of the appalling conditions, we checked out just a few hours later. The whole experience was completely unacceptable and extremely unpleasant. I have photos but they aren’t “family friendly” to share on this platform AVOID!!!

The Rose & Crown was THE place to stay in Tonbridge 40 years ago. Now, it is neglected, there is no restaurant, the bar which used to be packed was empty. What a shame. In the room, the curtain was hanging off the rail, there were no tooth mugs and the door closer flapped in the breeze. I had my wedding reception there in 1982. Then, it was good.

Cleanliness...there were cobwebs on the ceiling right above my bed, grime around taps in bathroom, no toilet paper, or bin liner in bathroom. We would have had a nice view from our window if the grass had been cut...it was so overgrown & uncut that it actually really let the place down 👎👎👎 windows could have been doing with a clean 👎 Im disabled & on the first night l had nowhere to park as a works van was parked in the disabled bay, my 2 sisters & niece had to get out of my car & guide me into a very tight space (the only space left in the car park). I did get toilet paper once l asked at reception 👍 Our beds were very comfortable, we where in the ground floor rooms through the car park. It was quite...a consideration to maybe take on board is at night when going into the room, is very dark as the lighting was past our room so trying to find the lock on the door was difficult. We did enjoy our stay & would stay again.

The hotel was very short staffed although the staff were very pleasant and helpful. Our room had not been cleaned and we had to complain about this and long wait and lack of service at breakfast. I have sent 5 emails of complaint but not had the courtesy of a response to any of them. It’s a shame as we were regular guests at this hotel.

Pleased I ignored other reviews... Yes, the floors creak and slope but that is the character of an old building. Room was very clean and well presented. Plenty of free parking (register in reception). Some noise from street, but didn't disturb as am a heavy sleeper - if a light sleeper ask for a room not overlooking the city.

We booked a room whilst working in the area, having been before earlier in the year. The room was comfortable enough, but the bathroom was much more modern and updated. Staff were friendly and service was good, but unfortunately, the parking really let the site down. There were lots of contractors and vans blocking various areas, and as the parking is also used as a public car park with JustPark, it made it busier. We had to ask around what time people were going and ask them to swap and block us in, just to get parked, so it was far from ideal. It would have taken less time and effort to drive away from the area and stay at a corporate chain, which is likely what we would do next time, as it removed all convenience this time. If parking is sorted, we would happily return.

A creaking floor in an old building is quaint but the whole of the floor creaks, bedroom corridor is is too much. The room had a basic clean but the toilet needs descaling. It's not nice to use a toilet like this. The carpets are threadbare to the point our room had a big rip in the carpet which is a trip hazard that I had daily. Staff are pleasant. Parking good. Bar void of people, atmosphere and everything. The biggest bug bare was no evening food. Outside it boasts about food and grill. Reality, no evening dining
