What guests think
At Hotel Du Vin & Bistro Tunbridge Wells, guests highlight a characterful setting, friendly staff, comfortable rooms and tasty breakfasts in a central location, while drawbacks include limited parking, some small or warm rooms, event noise, and occasional service lapses.
Many rooms are spacious with large bathrooms, roll-top baths and park views, though others feel compact and wayfinding can be tricky with rooms named rather than numbered. Breakfast and bistro dishes are widely liked, though some guests found vegan choices limited or breakfast expensive, and a few meals underwhelming. The bar, lounges and gardens are welcoming spaces that several guests enjoyed. Expect a charming, comfortable stay in a central spot with some quirks.

For what they charge, the room was tiny. Parking is very inconvinent. We had to pay in pay parking across the street.

Helpful team, with good service and a smile ! Accommodating and made you feel welcome. the building is older, which is cleaned well, but odd signs of being worn. Food at the Bistro was very tasty ! Will stay again. There is building work in the overflow car park, so parking is limited.

Only criticism was the carpark, very small spaces. We booked and were allocated a space for the 2 days, having gone out for tha afternoon someone moved our named reserved spot so had to find another. Having complained, I was refunded the £20. Otherwise good stay

Very noisy room. Facing the street. Lift was opposite the door to our room. Poor quality bedding. Pillow very cheap hard feathers. One pillow case had blood spatters on it. Another pillo2 had blood stains on the inner pilow case. The continental breakfast had a very limited selection. One of the worst I have encountered in any hotel. The table in the restaurant were very shabby.

Nice hotel, but it is in need of an upgrade; it’s beginning to look a bit tatty for the money you pay. I booked a last minute deal and had already paid for my room in advance. On top of that the hotel wanted to secure the room’s cost on my credit card as a deposit. I explained that I had already paid and when I’d stayed here previously, the hotel had processed the deposit and I’d paid twice for the one night. It took 14 days for the money to be released back on to my account. After much arguing, I was told I didn’t have to leave a deposit. When I got to the room, I got a glass out of the “bar area” of the room and discovered despite having a fridge, it was not stocked. I am puzzled as to why I was asked for a deposit since there were no drinks available. Maybe they’ve had untrustworthy guests in the past, but when you stay somewhere and are automatically not trusted, it leaves a rather bad tastes. There’s a budget hotel in the area where I actually receive much better treatment. I think I’ll stay there instead.

I can’t think of a single thing to give this review balance. It’s a lovely, characterful building; but not struggling with modern service. Place looked great, spotless. Bistro food was excellent too, with fantastic service from every staff member - I wish I’d asked the name of the lovely maître d’ about the go on maternity leave who was particularly helpful & friendly. All the little bits that can trip up a stay were negated perfectly. Like I say: no balance here, sorry.

Enjoyed a one night stay here. Received a complimentary upgrade on arrival. Lovely spacious room with large bathroom including a roll top bath. L’occitane toiletries were available in the room. Bed was large and very comfortable and we had a good nights sleep. Hotel was quiet and we were not disturbed at all during the night. Complimentary water and coffee in room. No parking available on site as they were fully booked so we parked in local public car park a short walk away. This option was a lot cheaper than the hotel parking charge. I would recommend this hotel.

locality and cleanliness good on arrival the male staff member was indifferent There was no wifi again this visit, staff know about this problem, wasted lots of time waiting for assistance before we had to move rooms to acquire wifi. room was very cold, again male staff member did’nt have a clue, waited a long time before eventually getting a radiator delivered to room, waited until 11.30pm before bathroom was warm enough to have a shower. l was told the heating problem would be sorted the following day and management would be informed. on arriving back to the room the heating wasnt sorted, we had to switch on the radiator and wait again for the room to warm up. l had to call management who apologised saying they hadn’t been given any info on the problems we had since arriving, offered another room butt having already moved once we declined. we were offered a coffee!! the following day we were asked if we were dining in the bistro and if. so to call the manager to which we did, we were told we could have a free glass of wine after first being offered a bottle but then said it would be “house wine” or a glass of wine. Given we had a terrible first night and then having to warm up our room each time we got back into the hotel this shallow offer was not acceptable guest satisfaction. A very disappointing second stay, we wont go back

The hotel itself is beautiful, and in a fantastic location. Check in and out was quick and uncomplicated, and parking can be reserved at an additional £15 per day. Our room was nicely appointed, but small and without AC. Although a Dyson fan was provided, it wasn’t very effective. As the rooms are all named, it’s quite tricky to find where your room is. We booked a smaller room which had a bigger (king) bed as advertised, our bed was not a king. When we challenged this with reception, we were told a queen bed is bigger than a king. There was a private party on one night with a DJ that reception did make us aware of, and the music was off at 11pm as promised.

Overall a decent hotel. Cooked breakfasts were particularly nice. Delicious smoked kippers with hard boiled eggs and toast soldiers. Excellent coffee from the coffee machine. Would have liked larger portions of fruit salad and plain yogurt to be offered in breakfast buffet (was provided on request). Bed comfortable. Kettle and fridge very welcome. Room perhaps needed a little more storage space. Climbing into bath perhaps a little difficult for our height - 5 foot 6 inches. Room had air conditioning but did not need to switch it on. Early 19th century property - lifts worked but quite old. Town centre - railway station and lots of restaurants and shops within a short walk. Car park not very large but we came by train. If using taxis make sure you have a price quote for journey.

Good hotel and nice garden and attentive staff. Only 3 stars as I needed 30 minutes late checkout so I could have teams call. They wanted to charge me £15 for this which I thought is poor and a bit grabby. I understand if it’s for hours and how it would mess up a cleaning rota etc , but for 30 minutes ? Really! Won’t be using this chain again because of this policy.

There was a private party on one night with a DJ that reception did make us aware of, and the music was off at 11pm as promised.

The staff were polite and helpful, but in both the bar and restaurant the service was slow and inattentive. No table service in the bar and an overly long wait between starter and main course, whether due to lack of staff or insufficient training.

The hotel itself was very good, and well situated, with comfortable clean rooms, and the breakfast was also very good. The only real downside was the staff attitude in general: whilst they completed their tasks, they were not particularly friendly and welcoming, which, in a town where other hotels are available, is particularly important! Mangemnt need to do some additional customer service training.

If you want a full service hotel with a small inn or B&B feel to it - Hotel du Vin is a great choice. The food in the Bistro was excellent and the service from the team in the bar is wonderful as well. Great location for walking to local restaurants and shopping. We would definitely recommend the Hotel du Vin.

This is a classic hotel on a quiet street, close to shops, restaurants, and the train station. The rooms are clean and well-equipped. We would stay here again.

Overall a decent hotel. Cooked breakfasts were particularly nice. Delicious smoked kippers with hard boiled eggs and toast soldiers. Excellent coffee from the coffee machine. Would have liked larger portions of fruit salad and plain yogurt to be offered in breakfast buffet (was provided on request). Bed comfortable. Kettle and fridge very welcome. Room perhaps needed a little more storage space. Climbing into bath perhaps a little difficult for our height - 5 foot 6 inches. Room had air conditioning but did not need to switch it on. Early 19th century property - lifts worked but quite old. Town centre - railway station and lots of restaurants and shops within a short walk. Car park not very large but we came by train. If using taxis make sure you have a price quote for journey.

This was our second stay here. We booked "Half Board", and were upgraded to a better room which was very good indeed. All staff were very friendly and helpful. Our only slight concern was with our dinner main course, which seemed less good than previously. Hopefully this was "a glitch"

I couldn't fault the welcome, check in was super quick and friendly. I got lost in the hotel as there is no signage and the verbal directions were a little quiet so I couldn't hear. The rooms are named after wines and brandy which was a nice touch but made navigation trickier. Room was cosy and super comfy, it had everything that I needed. Coffee bags as opposed to instant so that was good. Nice view of a luscious green, well maintained lawn. My only issue was with breakfast, despite giving a month's notice that I required a vegan breakfast, there was no vegan sausage. I was given an extra half of defrosted avocado. The scrambled tofu arrived late (as apparently they cooked me an egg) and it was super wet and tasted slightly metallic. The oat milk curdled in the coffee. Overall a rather uninspiring breakfast and to top it off, the cleaner was vacuuming the stairs right by the bistro so constant noise. Breakfast service was being cleared whilst guests were still coming in.
