Shower in room 39 had a very bad smell of mold. Fan was running when I arrived. Also, water pressure was very low and sometimes didn't even come on.

Worst Hotel I ever stayed at!!!
This is the worst hotel I have ever stayed at. Hot water ran out after a few minutes in the shower, then a few minutes later all the water turned off in the shower. I complained to the management but they were really rude and ignored me totally. Since I had prepaid for the room I had no recourse. I highly recommend you not include this hotel in your offering.

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
Comfy chairs to fit and watch world go by.
Bath and shower
View of river from window. Higher than street level so no passers by looking in.
Other side view. Just near the bridge.

Old expensive hotel
Arrived around 10:30pm, guy who was meant to check me in left via the back door. I was checked in by bar staff, handed a key and had to find my way through a series of doors and stairs. Old creaky hotel with no soundproofing to room next door with noisy tv and snoring person, not worth £187

Elements of the Hotel were looking a little tired, the stairways looked worn and in need of attention. No lifts so 3 flights of stairs, some of the stairways being quite narrow. Staff were friendly, unfortunately the chef did not turn up for breakfast.
