Stayed here for one night, never again thanks! The rooms are dropping to bits, everything is broken or ripped off the wall, rodent bait traps in family rooms & music playing along with fights until after 2am, door staff over eager & you deal with the bar staff to get your room keys & no one available if you have...

We chose this hotel because we wanted to stay in Dartford Town Centre and we have stayed at this hotel before but it was more than 20 years ago. I will say that they hadn’t changed much since then!! On arrival at the hotel we were greeted by "Maggie", the hotel receptionist, in a very friendly and helpful manner. "Well... More

Having spent the day at Brands Hatch, we decided to try to find somewhere closer to stay than our original choice of a family home which was an hour's drive away. Having checked around, this was the first place we could find with room. Now I know why. The staff were friendly but that's where the positives end. The hotel... More

My roommate noticed the inches thick dust on the drapes first. I noticed the "Grand Canyon" in one of the twin beds. The other bed looked fine - an illusion owing only to the sheet of plywood between the mattress and box spring. The bedcovers were stained with what one can only assume was a variety of bodily fluids. One... More

I knew it was cheap but having stayed in good pub accommodation in the past I was not ready for the shock. It took us four trips around the one way system before we found the car park. There was what i can only presume was a urine stained cover on the bed. There was tea/coffee facilities but no spoon.... More

We stayed there about a month ago, the shower was dirty, paint peeling from windows, dirty sheets, luckily we were both too drunk to notice when we came back but would never stay there again.

I understand you cant expect much for £40 but this place was horrible. The ceilings were falling in, the room was shoddy with chipped paint on the walls, stained sheets and a mouldy dirty shower. There was dirty lingerie in the wardrobe which shows it wasn't cleaner properly. Worst of all, it is above a nightclub with the smoking area... More

we stayed as we were seeing a show at the orchard theatre. Room was only 40pound for double which we thought was good. The staff were friendly, free entry to nightclub and 20% off drinks too. The room was large but dusty and needed a lick of paint. The nightclub had a bad atmosphere and constant fights so would steer... More
