This is a pub hotel and meet all our needs. Room was quiet and bed nice. Overall the room was dated and well used but for a pub hotel and price it was great. The pub itself is nice and has good food with a discount for hotel guests.

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.
