I took my husband to the Bell Hotel for his 40th and just had to review the stay as it was faultless. They upgraded us to an amazing room which overlooked the river. The staff throughout our stay were atttentive, even late at night when we returned to the hotel. One of the breakfast staff was a older gentleman with... More

After an efficient but rather formal greeting we found to this to be a lovely hotel. The staff was always helpful and efficient. We thought dinner here was special and the English breakfast was better than average. Again the waiting staff was superb. The bedrooms depend on which number you get, hence the varied reviews. Ours was number 14 which... More

This hotel has recently been bought by a large brewery. To continue to charge these prices they need to plough finance into the hotel. Certain areas need tweaking: Bedroom furniture not good Bedrooms not planned well - no mirror over dressing table- no shaving light in bathroom Poor quality toiletries Windows need replacing or renovating - draughts everywhere- bathroom freezing...

Stayed there for one night on a January weekend. The town of Sandwich is wonderfully old and unspoilt by tourism. Every single member of staff we encountered were friendly and helpful and took the time to chat. The hotel was clean and had a cosy feel to it. I'd say the only downside was the lack of parking. We were... More

For the second year running, we enjoyed with a party of friends, a "dinner, bed and breakfast deal" at The Bell. Once again we had a thoroughly enjoyable time for what was excellent value. All the staff are very friendly and "smiley" and welcoming. The evening meal gave us all a good and varied choice, excellently cooked and presented. The... More

Sandwich is a lovely town, very historic and beautiful to walk around. The Bell is a wonderful building and situated right in the middle. The reception was slightly chilly, the room fantastic with a lovely bed, clean and comfortable and very well appointed. Dinner service was bizarre with long waits and no one seemingly in charge, they tried hard and... More

Just wonderful. Lovely room, fantastic meal with the best smoked salmon we have had for ages, helpful and friendly staff. Will definitely go back - sooner rather than later! Sandwich is such a unique town and after each visit we always want to go back there. More

My husband and our daughter & her boyfriend went to the Bell Hotel for Christmas and stayed 3 nights. The lounge/reception was welcoming and festive. The receptionist was friendly and helpful. There are no lifts so you need to be fit to manage the stairs. I am sure they would have helped with our luggage if we had asked for... More
