It's a Holiday Inn Express

8.0

The entrance road of Holiday Inn Express in Dartford is just off the roundabout at the southern end of the Thames crossing. Access was challenging in evening rush hour. There is plenty of parking, but this is charged at £12 overnight even for residents. The rooms are typical of this brand with comfortable beds, a small desk and easy chair. Clean shower room with adequate towels and Dove toiletries. Reasonable value evening meal of large portions in the bar dining area. Hot buffet breakfast was included. Free WiFi but very slow. Air con worked well. Near busy roads but a quiet night.

Guest review

5.0

The staff were very friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout my stay. The hotel's location was also excellent and convenient, making it easy to get around and explore the area.

− Unfortunately, the room was disappointing. It was not as clean as I expected, the carpet was very dirty, and the bed was uncomfortable, which made it difficult to get a good night's sleep. While the service and location were great, the cleanliness and comfort of the room need significant improvement.
