Nice clean room, got parked outside and was able to check-in early. Good choice of drinks, a well supported pub which is nice to see. Nice hot shower in the morning too.
Great location the young girl that was behind the bar checked us in and was very helpful and polite much better than I was expecting would definitely stay again
Pleased with quiet, comfortable stay in a well kept clean hotel within walking distance of Siri Guru Nanak Darbar Gurdwara and Gravesend Railway Station
Very convenient for the Temple wedding we attended, lovely English pub, very efficient and friendly staff from reception, bar staff, cleaner , all great
The staff were a credit to the establishment, service was attentive, check in / out was very efficient, assistance was provided with my heavy luggage facilities within the room were excellent.

It was very clean and even though there was a connecting door to the next room, I didn't hear any noise.
Nice and quiet for a Friday night. Room had everything we needed, including a microwave and fridge which we didn't actually need !
Convenient location and good beer to boot !
Amazing service, staff were very welcoming and made us feel at home, Annette was amazing! She gave us detailed recommendations about what we could do and what restaurants were around town etc. Thank you Annette! 😊
Absolutely loved it photos dont do it justice . Ive stayed in many hotels but this had everything for whst i needed at this time . And staff was lovely and friendly despite reading about rude staff i found them all very welcoming and i will be bk if im in the area
Gravesend is not a holiday destination, but it suited us as we were visiting family. The pub was friendly and well attended and there were plenty of eating places within only a few minutes walk. People we met were genuine and friendly, though Gravesend still has a bit of a reputation for being a bit "in-your-face.
Typical pub accomodation of a good standard but a few minor things not quite right such as a broken loo brush, Excellent equipment including fridge, microwave and kettle.
No breakfast available was the only downside. Also Gravesend is not the town it was. Pretty dirty and dead.

A reasonably-priced and well-located hotel.
I was greeted by the friendly manageress. I was bumped up to a larger room from my original single so I can't say if the facilities are the same. The room was clean and comfortable with a microwave and fridge as well as the usual coffee/tea, etc. It had a fan to cool you down and an extra cover to warm you up. The shower-room was a reasonable size with added toiletries.
