The Bell Hotel

Incredible! To sum up our stay. It was incredible! From start to finish I can’t fault the service we received, Spotless, peaceful, spacious and super well equipped.

Good location in town, nice breakfast. Had a few little issues while we were there which staff did their best to sort. Rooms in need of deep clean especially very dusty curtains! Be aware there is limited parking so you will have to pay for the public car park nearby. Our room was up several flights of stairs with no lift and no help with heavy luggage offered.

The Bell Hotel is a beautiful place, the staffs are friendly, I had a comfortable stay.

Staff were great and very welcoming. Breakfast was superb. Only negative was that the room was so hot and we couldn’t adjust the heat.

Great variety of breakfast options, comfortable beds and a spacious family room. Friendly and helpful staff throughout our stay.

All good, room chilly, but I thin

Apart from the bedroom and en-suite being dated it’s a really nice hotel. The guys had an emergency over night and the gas had to be cut off to the kitchen, so no hot breakfast. Not their fault at all and they put on an amazing spread for a continental breakfast like I’d never seen before. So well done to them. The gas engineer arrived as I was leaving. Staff were fantastic.

Staff was very friendly and eaay to talk to, bed was comfortable. Room was a good size with all the necessary amenities. Bathroom was big, shower was great. Gorgeous building. The highlight was the afternoon tea, whoever made those scones and desserts deserve a raise! Downsides, the staff weren't wearing indicators of being staff (like a name tag), so it was sometimes hard to know where to turn. We had a lightbulb not working (though this was promptly fixed once we let reception know), and our room hadn't been dusted properly, there were thick layers of dust on our bed lamps (small thing though!) Overall, a very satisfying stay with only minor, almost inconsequential issues.

Nice room but a bit small. Would stay again.

Just all over friendliness and good atmosphere

Breakfast and selection was great! Comfortable bed!

Rooms need updates

We had a very pleasant stay at The Bell Hotel. The room was nice, simple and everything we needed. Beautiful breakfast and we enjoyed the bar. Would love to return!

I recently stayed at The Bell Hotel in Sandwich for my 40th birthday, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. From the moment we arrived, the service was warm and welcoming, perfectly complementing the character and charm of this historic riverside hotel. The food was absolutely excellent—each meal was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. Whether it was breakfast, lunch, or dinner, the menu had a thoughtful variety of options, and everything we tried was delicious. It’s clear the kitchen takes real pride in their work. The location was ideal for our trip, especially as we were in town to play at the legendary Royal St George’s Golf Club, which is just a short drive away. After a day on the course, The Bell was the perfect place to unwind—comfortable, stylish, and relaxing. The rooms had a classic charm with modern touches, and the views over the river added a tranquil feel to the whole stay. Celebrating a milestone birthday in such a setting, with great food and access to world-class golf, made the experience truly memorable. I’d highly recommend The Bell Hotel to anyone visiting the area, whether for golf, history, or just a peaceful escape.

Check in was great. Managed to park right outside the door. Room was ok. Only real complain was the en-suite. Dated and the shower valve very worn and difficult to set a good temperature. Over all would stay again.

Convenient

We were there for less than 24 hours. It was OK, nothing went wrong. Breakfast was very good.

Charming old hotel. The property and rooms were clean and fairly well maintained. I don't think there's an elevator. I couldn't find a thermostat in the room and the room started off pretty chilly (I was there in late February). I'm not sure if they have A/C as well, though I'm not sure it gets that hot. The room was large and the bed was comfortable. It's definitely not a business hotel. The desk was small and there were few power outlets. I would highly recommend the hotel install USB plugs near the desk and bed night stands. It's 2025 after all. I had a room on the second floor in the front of the Hotel. Event hough Sandwich is kind of quiet, there was road noise early and late. so if you're a light sleeper, request a room in the back of the hotel. The breakfast looked good. The staff was friendly. The desk clerk helped me get a taxi when I was checking out (not an easy task in Sandwich). By the way, there is no Uber. Plan ahead if you need a ride.

Really had a great check in was meet by Simone who went out of her way to help us she had our drinks brought to us in the lounge and arranged for out luggage to be taken up to our room. We had a valentine meal and everyone of the staff was great

Great location and like many hotels of this nature - charming and dated in equal measure.
