I stayed here when I was on a business trip in the area. It was booked last minute after seeing TripAdvisor and a look at their website. It looked very interesting and contemporary and I wanted to try it. I called to book and was quoted £65 bed and continental breakfast - I have to be honest, I was a... more

This is not a boutique hotel - just a very good, value-for-money B&B. Staff are a credit to the place - positive, industrious, absolutely concerned to do all they can to ensure your comfort. The place is scrupulously clean, well located, has 24-hour unrestricted parking just across the road (on Mt Egcumbe Road), provides lovely breakfast and at £65 per... more

We usually hate going to hotels because they tend to be bland, tacky, staffed by lazy morons and frequented by noisy idiots. This time we had no choice. Smart and Simple hotel in Tunbridge Wells is a little bit bling but honestly not that bad in appearance once you get over the little blue neon lights (bear with it, it's... more

We used this hotel for the first time this weekend and have nothing but praise for the hotel & staff, they are helpful,knowledgeable and very friendly. The hotel interior has a striking effect and our room was large, clean and comfortable. Free WiFi was a bonus. This hotel was recommended to us and we can understand why. The refreshment basket... more

We stayed here a couple of years to do some shopping just before christmas.The building is old but has been made into modern rooms with a touch of character.The lift is a little shaky and you wonder if it is going to make it to the top.Parking is a problem but it is a problem for nearly all the hotels... more

Stylish, striking minimalist black and white decor, and the letters Ssh quite appropriate! A peaceful location on a busy road with a hidden rockery garden leading off the dining room like an oasis. The staff were most helpful and friendly. The food was good and the room comfortable although a kettle would be nice - the only slight improvement we... more

We don't know the area to well and were given the Smart & Simple as an option for our wedding night. So we booked the "best room" for two nights so I the groom could stay the night before the wedding. The room looked like a dirty bedsit. The parking is crap. You can park outside (if a space is... more

At Smart and Simple Hotel we have always appreciated feedback from our guests and have never hidden or made excuses when we get it wrong. I have investigated this review and can find no record of...

If you are looking for a convenient hotel in the middle of Tunbridge Wells, book now! I was simply looking for a hotel near to the County Court where I had business next day (I am a lawyer). The hotel was 100m away so was perfect for me and I booked on that basis alone. I left wishing that I... more

My husband and I went to Tunbridge Wells for a wedding earlier on in the year and the bride and groom had booked some rooms in the Sssh hotel for us all. It was definitely affordable - £85 per night for the room. The hotel definitely lives up to its motto – smart but simple. Our bedroom was a corner... more
