In my opinion, I do not see how ANYBODY can find this hotel a pleasure to stay at. The hotel is nothing special and the staff are ignorant and not helpful at all. They completely mess you about and BEWARE anyone about to stay because THEY DOUBLE BOOK YOUR ROOMS so you will end up not having anywhere to stay.... more

We stayed here for 2 nights at the end of May 2008. Our 2 twin rooms were on the top floor (there was no lift and no offer of help with our bags from the front desk staff) overlooking the main road and Sevenoaks School. The rooms were in dire need of refurbishment (as were the public areas once you... more

This hotel does not deserve to be in business. Our party had booked over 10 rooms for a Wedding Party and on arrival the Bride and Groom were told that they did not have the Honeymoon suite and that 2 of the rooms booked were not available ( I was one of those guests). NOT what you need at midnight... more

I have just read the review "Worst Hotel" and the reply thereto. My family had stayed at the Royal Oak before, round about 1997, and had a pleasant stay. Thereafter, we'd recommended it to friends who wanted to stay in Sevenoaks. Some of them had complained about the hotel, but we just thought that they were being too fussy, or... more

I stay in hotels with business on a weekly basis and this is without doubt my worst hotel ex[erience. The former stable block behind the hotel where my room/cell was located, was dirty and dusty but it had a bed and I was shattered. 2 hours later I woke scratching to find the bed sheets soaked in blood! There were... more

I rang the hotel last Friday morning (March 14th) on the off chance that the hotel had availability as my wife and I wanted to come to Sevenoaks to visit friends who have a new baby and as they didn't have room for us thought we would stay in a hotel for the weekend - I was greeted on the... more

Stayed for 1 night for work, glad it was only 1 night as I would have checked out if it had been for longer. Room was basic which I don't mind, but dusty and bathroom not very clean. A circus appeared to be going on when i checked in with a poor girl struggling on reception and gaggle of women... more

I stayed here for one night on business and, although it was a relatively painless experience, I would not rush to stay here again and I certainly would never waste my own money in a place such as this. The reception staff appeared friendly at first sight but were underneath rude and incompetent. The woman who signed me in broke... more

After reading the other reviews, I am slightly confused by the positive esteem this hotel seems to be held in. We stayed here for a wedding in August and it was recommended as the best place in the area. The reception staff were indeed warm and friendly, but the same can't really be said for the other staff members -... more
