Lifts were invented 150 years ago!!
Hotel would be better with a lift.
Would also be better without getting an upset stomach 2 days in a row, from the breakfast.
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.
Friendly staff, nice touch with fresh milk given out on check in for tea coffee in room. Cosy room clean and tidy, comfy. Breakfast very good everything on offer quick and hot. Will be back

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.
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

Sandwich is lovely .
Chose a riverside room at the Bell if you prefer quietness.
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
Reception accomplished without problems, very welcoming.
Room was clean and very welcoming. Enjoyable views from our room.
Definitely would book again.
