Very nice stay! Breakfast was good. The lobby/bar area was really cool! Room was comfortable and the towels were a great student, 2 problems the extraction fan was not working and the towel warming rack was not working. Close the train station. Parking was plentiful. Located right next to the Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Glitter Twins Statue, fun fact Dartford is the childhood home for both of them!

The building is or should be a Listed Building, so much character. Ok no lifts rickety old floors and stairs, but that just adds to the experience. Really friendly staff, room ckean and well presented, cleaned and restocked every day of my stay, a rare thing in modern hotels. Good breakfast. I really enjoyed my stay.

This is the second time I have stayed at this hotel, the first time was in a double room and i was very satisfied. This time I stayed in a single room, the room was ok except you had to get out of bed to turn the light out, and the bed sheets were less than satusfactory.

Another pleasant stay

I stay here for the convenience and location to where I need to be. Second stay here. The staff are friendly and welcoming. I had a queen size bed which was lovely and comfy. Breakfast was also nice. It’s a lovely old pub/hotel with a friendly atmosphere. Would recommend.

Away for work

This was a 1-night stay for work. I was in room 107 and it was a good sized room with a large ensuite (watch out for the step down into ensuite). Tv and wifi were okay but bed was not comfortable. Nice large bath towels. Free parking at rear of venue - need to drive up as if you were going into public car park. Breakfast (included in my room cost) was good and hot - I had the full cooked breakfast.
