- Sandra (9/5): Very nice hotel to stay just out of Tunbridge Wells. - All staff were very welcoming and helpful at all times. From when we arrived to departure. Food was excellent dinner and breakfast. Comfortable room with adequate facilities and clean. Could not fault the property or staff.
- Phil (10/5): -
- Rene (8/5): - Keurige kamers X
- Bernard (7/5): Bon hôtel restaurant tout compris avec accès facile - L’emplacement avec parking ; le restaurant Pas d’eau chaude pendant 2 jours sans dédommagement
- eric (8/5): Fijne overnachting als tussenstop verdere reis. - Het fijne hartelijke ontvangst. Echte oude retro pub / hotel / resto.
Fijne keuken
Kamers groot genoeg en geen last van lawaai buitenzijde.
Zeer ruime (gratis) privé parking Keuze van morgenontbijt, in die zin dat de vriendelijke dame alles komt opnemen / brengen.
Persoonlijk kies ik liever uit het aangeboden buffet.
- Camilla (10/5): Great location, great food, great staff. - The food is excellent, breakfast and evening meals. Staff were great and the rooms quiet.
- Henrietta (8/5): -
- Kevin (8/5): - Everyone was very helpful. The room was very comfortable and the food was great ! Nothing, it met all our requirements.
- Peter (9/5): Excellent place to stay. i will stay again. - Great kippers for breakfast Toast was a bit generic
- Alan (8/5): - Convenient location just off A21. Rooms a good size with comfy bed and with nice amenities.
Good breakfast options and quality of ingredients looked and tasted good. No hot water on my last morning. Not a normal issue, boiler was rebooted and order restored, just too late for me to enjoy.
- Neal (10/5): One night at the Camden Arms - Nice friendly hotel. Room was very good. Bed was comfortable. Breakfast was very good. No hot water in the morning, which was a shame. An unexpected problem with the boiler.
- Alison (7/5): - Location was ideal for what I needed
Food & breakfast was very good Rooms are a bit dated and tired
Unfortunately there wasn’t any hot water (boiler issues) to have a shower before I left
- Terry (10/5): Great stay, good food. - Second time we have stayed here rooms good, breakfast great, staff lovely. We were in the disabled room and the seat in the shower fell off the wall
- Judith (10/5): -
- michael (9/5): -
- Eva (8/5): - Gutes englisches Frühstück Matratze hätte etwas bequemer sein können
- Heike (7/5): - Sehr schöner alter Pub mit Hotelzimmern. Wir hatten ein Himmelbett... Tolles Essen, fleißiger Service und eine große abwechslungsreiche Speisekarte. Großer Parkplatz, Parken kein Problem. Am letzten Tag wurden wir 9:45 und 10:05 mit Klopfen und Rede aufmerksam gemacht, dass wir Auschecken sollen. Das fanden wir unverschämt, zumal wir die Zimmer lt. Booking.com bis 11:00 hätten haben können. Wir waren gerade vom Frühstück gekommen und waren eben beim Kofferpacken. Sicher, sie wollen die Zimmer reinigen, aber das Verhalten des Personals fanden wir inakzeptabel und das war der Wermutstropfen bei einem schönen Aufenthalt von 3 Tagen.
- Iris (5/5): -
- Paul (8/5): -
- Stefano (10/5): - Personale molto cortese Il paese non offre molto. Il bagno molto usurato
- Lisa (10/5): The staff were extremely cheerful and helpful - Rooms were clean and ready for when we arrived Nothing
- Gaetan (9/5): - Un accueil souriant, un logement traditionnel et cosy. Le restaurant y attenant était bon, nous y avons mangé un très bon plat traditionnel anglais. Le petit déjeuner anglais était également bien servi.
Nous y avons séjourné pour un tournoi sportif à Tonbridge, et son emplacement était idéal pour nous.(10 minutes de route) La chambre était propre dans sa globalité et confortable mais un peu sombre avec quelques grains de poussière sur les appuis de fenêtre.
- James (5/5): -
- Adeline (5/5): Je ne recommande pas. Notre chambre famille était très vieillissante. - Petit déjeuner dans le restaurant du Pub, déco très sympa et petit dej anglais traditionnel. La chambre famille nécessite une rénovation : Moquette, salle de bain et mobilier. Et surtout un changement de la literie qui est très vieillissante.

But the hotel is clean, friendly with engaging staff. Very good breakfast. It's also great value for money. We've stayed there before, but on this occasion a significant tipping point for our decision to go again was the availability of EV charging points Nothing at all
- Hannah (9/5): -

- paul (9/5): Very comfortable. - Very comfortable rooms,lovely bar and staff
- alison (9/5): A traditional inn, that is family owned. First class. - They gave me a room at the back of the pub away from street noise.
They asked me when I came in, if I would like a table for dinner and for breakfast - it is nice to be reminded of these things, especially after a long day.
Food is excellent quality, and good to be offered traditional "meat and veg" rather than pasta and beef burgers.
Breakfast - wonderfully cooked and great variety.
Staff incredibly friendly.
I was well looked after from the moment I arrived I would have liked nescafe sachets in my room. I am not much good at working technical equipment, and the coffee machine was state of the arc, unlike me!
- Terrence (10/5): - The hotel staff was fantastic. They suggested places of interest for us to visit. The cooked breakfast was very nice. The location and parking facilities are excellent. Nothing noted.

We were in Tunbridge Wells for a family party and the Hotel location was perfect. We had an evening meal and breakfast and were served promptly, our meals were well presented and very nice. We would definitely stay again and would highly recommend The Camden Arms.

- Erika (5/5): Very average - Staff member who attended to me during check-in was eager, willing and did their best, despite being in training. The room location was quiet. No guidance as to wi-fi facility (it was passcode free, but I had to work that out on my own). Insufficient bottled water and no advice as to whether bathroom water was drinkable (mixer tap). Breakfast start time (08.30) was way too late given the cost of room - I had to leave without breakfast. No drop off box or instruction for checking out outside service hours - I had to make an executive decision to leave key card in the room. No tissues in room.
