We stayed one night here and the room we got was large and clean, and situated on the ground floor, but the bathroom was very very small and there was no where to put your wash bag and/or the things you needed in the bathroom. Although right by a main road we heard no traffic noise to speak of. The... More

Chose this on the location, wished I had booked directly with the hotel as breakfast would have been included in the price. Paid for breakfast one morning and it was excellent. All the staff were very helpful and efficient, the tea and coffee was always fresh and great value at £1. The shower was wonderful, so powerful and hot which... More

During our recent visit to tunbridge Wells to see our son, he booked us a room at the Smart and Simple Hotel in Tunbridge Wells which was close to his flat. It also had good reviews as we were infomed that the rooms were refurbished. Even though we had to pay an extra £20.00 for our Continental breakfasts for the... More

We stayed one night in this hotel and would recommend it. It's conveniently situated and we had no trouble parking. The staff were smiley and pleasant and we has a spacious room at the front. The bed was comfy and everything was clean. Breakfast was fine. I would certainly stay there again. More

We stayed at this hotel for one night in February 2012. The staff were welcoming and friendly and we had a lovely room at the back of the hotel overlooking the very pretty garden. The bathroom was huge, with a bath tub and separate shower cubicle with very good powerful shower. The hotel is really well located in the centre... More

We stayed in this hotel for one night and found staff to be very helpful and friendly. The room was small but had modern furniture and a very comfortable bed. Free wi fi is available which has fast download. Complimentary bottles of water and a lovely gesture of a bag of sweets were in the room. Other extras included iron... More

We stayed for a meeting with Trustees of the charity we support as volunteers. Our room was at the front of the hotel and, with secondary double glazing, was quiet during the day and at night. The bed was really comfortable, with sparkling white cotton bedlinen, and we slept really well. It was sad to see that a previous guest... More

Stayed for one night, was met with very freindly and helpful staff. the hotel looks contemporary and elegant. Lift up to the rooms with lots of baggage is very welcome, but I didn't need to as the staff took my baggage up ahead of me, My biggest complaint was the bathroom. The shower was almost impossible to get into, it... More

I wonder, from reading all the reviews from people who'd rather stay at the Travelodge whether they're in the payroll of the Travelodge. I've stayed in the TW Travelodge and others in the SE and they are nowhere up to the standard of the Smart and Simple. I stayed there in August ( I'd stayed 3 times before ). This... More
