Dissapointing visit.
Booking in at reception was nearly 15 minutes waiting in a queue , therefore not a great start after driving nearly 2 hours.
The room was adequate and the bed was comfortable. However, most parts of the hotel was very tired , with stained carpets and chipped paint work, obviously once a more grand hotel.
Our meal was very dissappointing which thankfully we were charged. The bar and waiting staff were very nice however and we did enjoy our drink near the fire on such a cold night.

Lifts were invented 150 years ago!!
Hotel would be better with a lift.
Would also be better without getting an upset stomach 2 days in a row, from the breakfast.

Great attention to the little things
Service was exceptional, from check in to the gentleman running the breakfasts.
Room was tired, but comfortable. Nice bed and lovely touches such as fresh milk, nespresso machine and great quality biscuits.
Bathroom was freezing and tired, but fine and a nice warm shower.
I didn’t eat in the restaurant, but based on the breakfast I wish I did. Fantastic eggs Benedict cooked to order and a wonderful selection of great quality food to pick from the buffet section. Server for breakfast was friendly, professional and incredibly efficient.
Overall this hotel was great value for money.

Convenience of the restaurant. I dont think there was a lift so a little difficult to get to a top floor room with luggage.

Sandwich's most reliable hotel
The Bell is a sensible choice at the heart of Sandwich, good location, lots of parking, always buzzy with the bar and the food is reliable. Rooms are a little tired but bed is comfy and the shower is hot. Stayed in the summer and without air con the rooms get stuffy - I have stayed a few times - and you have to leave the windows open which means the seagulls wake you early. I will definitely stay again.

I’ll be back
Lovely large room facing river. Arrived just as a wedding party had arrived for reception, however staff brilliant and helped us check in super quick. Parking close and can purchase from hotel for 4pm to 10am which significantly cheaper. Breakfast lovely too, will definitely stay again. Great nights sleep as not as noisy as other hotels. Thank you
