    long check-in wait

    The breakfast options included unlimited tea and coffee.

    Very long queues at reception, and the check-in process was frustrating.

    scenic park
    convenient walking routes

    great central base for city walks and park visits

    I really appreciated how close the hotel was to Central Park, making it easy for relaxing strolls, and being just a short distance from the Darent Valley Path allowed for scenic walking routes right from the doorstep, which added a lot of charm to my weekend escape.

    This was just an ideal choice for a short stay in Dartford with fantastic value. The staff was really helpful and attentive throughout our stay. If you're planning to visit Bluewater, just remember you'll need a taxi or Uber.

    impressive breakfast
    comfortable bed
    spacious room
    limited dining options

    I had a great time during my two-night stay. The breakfast buffet was really impressive with a good mix of full English options and continental choices. Plus, the bed was incredibly comfortable—definitely didn’t want to get up! The room had everything I needed and was surprisingly spacious.

    Comfortable stay with great vibes

    We had a nice 4-night family getaway! The staff were super friendly and always ready to help us with anything. Room was cozy with a cool sofa bed, and it had all the essentials like an iron and hairdryer. Only downside was the room could've used a good clean. Breakfast was alright but ran out of stuff.

    cleanliness issues
    ineffective air conditioning
    lacking staff interactions

    Spacious room with tasty breakfast options, including outstanding croissants. cleanliness issues were hard to overlook, with stains on surfaces and an outdated bathroom. The air conditioning was ineffective during the heat, and staff interactions felt lacking, particularly regarding available discounts on parking.

    good location but lacking in service quality

    The location offers convenient access to shopping and attractions. The room was spacious and comfortable, making it suitable for a family stay.

    Staff responsiveness at reception could improve significantly.

    outdated carpets

    Upon arriving, I really enjoyed the cozy lounge area and the well-maintained pool, perfect for kicking back. The only bummer was the slightly outdated carpets in my room, but it didn’t ruin my stay at all. If you're looking for a relaxing getaway, I’d definitely recommend checking this place out! 😊
