I stayed at the Bell hotel on a business trip. Sandwich is a quaint medieval town that is very easy to walk around and explore. The staff at the Bell was very friendly and helpful. I wouldn't suggest staying in room 42. It was located at a crease in the roofline and the view from the room was somewhat disappointing... more

To find a hotel the quality of The Bell in a tiny place like Sandwich is amazing. It totally deserves its reputation and constant listings in the Independents 50 top places.... Room; comfortable, warm, quiet and clean, bathroom outstanding with a WONDERFUL shower. No wardrobe but instead a much cleverer solution to hanging space on the wall complete with real... more

This is a really good hotel. They have recently refurbished all the rooms and the room that my girlfriend and I were in was really well done for what is was. Not massive but there was a big comfy bed with a great duvet (how important is that!), decoration that was modern without being stark, and a fabulous, big headed... more

WE have stayed here twice, and love it. The Reception Area is stylish, contemporary and gives a really warm welcome, as do the staff, they are superb! The food is excellent (although the wait was very long, we had to ask for our wine and they forgot the bread), but this was explained and apologised for, and we weren't in... more

We stayed at the Bell just as a weekend getaway and an opportunity to have a nice meal and a drink with good friends as Sandwich is only a short drive from where we live. THE HOTEL. Really nice and modern, this is the type of hotel that we really like. It's been recently refurbished and they have done a... more

Stayed at The Bell for a long weekend, service excellent, room decor really great, massive bed, all new bathroom, great shower, the "bistro" was good, food interesting, well sourced and prepared. Breakfast was the best I've had in Britain. Bad points? Bistro was a bit quiet, the lounge area seems ill used, and the place could do with a bit... more

Chose this hotel because it got quite reasonable reviews on TA and Sandwich seemed an interesting place. We were not disappointed. The hotel is adjacent to the Quayside on the edge of the old town. There are only half a dozen hotel parking spaces in front of the hotel (we got the last space) but there is a pay-and-display car... more

My husband stayed here for a week for business and my daughter and I joined him for a couple of nights. We stayed in a refurbished King Balcony room - which was lovely. The room wasn't that large but furniture and fittings were high standard and the room was decorated in a very restful cream and brown colour scheme. Tea... more

Excellent Hotel. We felt like we were the first people to use our room after refurbishment. very modern bathroom, very clean. Some rooms are in the top of the hotel, and with no lift this may be an issue for the less mobile. Great Bar, and good food for dinner. Breakfast could be a little more inspired, but on the... more
