Stayed for two nights. So very basic. Had to ask for clean mugs as nobody came to check up on room. Got the same mugs but just rinsed off. No breakfast offered because of Eid. The guys working there were actually nice though and the restaurant had delicious food.

Lovely comfortable stay

This is a lovely little hotel , very cozy we didn't need anything, warm and also aircon in the rooms. Only thing was shower was extremely hot , whether they can make sure the cold setting is on first, it took a few minutes to figure , but better cold than hot first in my opinion, we have already a booking to go back , looking forward to new year here .

The hotel was very clean and well maintained. Beds were comfortable and the room we had was quite spacious. The Indian restaurant attached to the hotel was excellent, with a great choice of the usual Indian dishes as well as some not found in most Indian restaurants in England. The staff were all very friendly and professional. All-in-all, we had a very good few nights stay.

Great value

Room was spotlessly clean, towels could do with being a little thicker and a hairdryer in the room (instead of available at reception) would make life a little easier. Will definitely stay again.

Ideal hotel for a couple of nights

I stayed at the King Hotel for a couple of nights while my wife was at Benenden hospital for an operation. The hotel room was very clean and well appointed. Plenty of towels, shower gel, coffee & tea and biscuits for a two night stay. Really good shower in the en suite. Parking right by the room ( chalet type). Free wi fi as well. The Indian Restaurant ''The Raja of Kent'' is next door to the hotel and I went there for a meal on the first night. The staff are really friendly and helpful, and the food is excellent.

A gem in Tenterden

This hotel is a gem! Friendly, helpful staff who really care about yoyr opinion. Room was lovely. Spotlessly clean and had everything we needed for an overnight stay. Real bonus was the award winning Raja of Kent restaurant on the same site. Excellent food and run by the same lovely family.

Hotel is convenient for overnight stay rather than longer term booking. The room and double bed were clean but rather small. The car parking space to the front of the hotel was spacious. The outside to the rear of the hotel needs to be tidied up despite no guest access.
