Our extended family and friends stayed at the Bell for a family wedding and were all impressed by the quality of service from all members of staff. The restaurant had an interesting menu and the food was cooked and presented to a very high standard. They handled a large wedding party with skill and finnesse. more

Belying its unattractive brick exterior, the Bell surprised us by its quality. Completely (and well) redesigned inside, the bedrooms and bathrooms are excellent, and the public rooms - restaurant, breakfast room, bar/coffee shop are all most pleasant. The hotel is spotless throughout, the staff pleasant, halpful and well trained. The food is very good by any standards, imaginative, well cooked... more

We have just returned from a excellent stay at the Bell hotel. My sister and I booked this venue for my parents 60th wedding anniversary. This was a surprise for my parents and I was delighted with help I received from the staff. On arrival we were greeted by the friendly and knowledgeable receceptionist. Our rooms were a delight, I... more

Pleasantly surprised by the size of our room and its modern decor, plus a very comfortable bed. Very quiet with a view over the river. Breakfast was also good with prompt service. A good base for exploring Sandwich. We managed to get a parking space in front of the hotel though I suspect this is tricky if you arrive later... more

I stayed here for the weekend with my husband, Sandwich is a lovely town and the Bell has a great location by the river. We arrived late on friday night and were put into room 39, first impressions were good, lovely decor and ok size, the view was pretty rubbish overlooking the roof but as we dont spend much time... more

The good - in an area of the UK devoid of good hotels, The Bell Hotel is at least making an effort to be modern and stylish and the food is excellent. The bad - the rooms are small and ours (room 38) had no view, looking straight at the roof of the hotel 2 metres away, more importantly the... more

Renovations continuing. Dinner was good. Lots of stairs to bedrooms without a lift but this will be reflected in its star rating. Bedroom window difficult to open and obscured glass giving claustraphobic feel to an otherwise nice room. Bed and linens excellent. Parking difficult. more

Nice hotel, had a really cheap rate for a double room with breakfast but bed in room 20 certainly wasn't 5 ft, i think not as advertised and was a 4ft single ? Would go back but be choosy about room more

Wonderful hotel, good food/wine and delightful rooms, all individually decorated with extremely comfortable beds. Try and get a room overlooking the river. Nothing was too much trouble for the charming staff. Sandwich is an easy town to explore on foot and there are a number of longer, well signposted walks around the area. We only stayed for a weekend but... more

This was very nearly a great hotel, but unfortunately was let down poor management. Individually all the staff were pleasant and helpful, but nobody seemed to know quite what their role was. For example, at breakfast either everybody tried to take your order or you were left to your own devices until you intercepted one of them, that was of... more

Thank you for your comments. I am disappointed to hear that you felt the service at Breakfast in our Restaurant was not up to our usual high standard during your stay with us and I will ensure this is addressed immediately. The Carpet leading up the stairs and on the Landing was replaced earlier this year and is cleaned on...
