Premier Inn Dartford

Despite looking a bit tatty from the outside this hotel was absolutely lovely. Parking was £3 a night, but I thought that was perfectly reasonable. Amazingly the bed was lovely and soft. I think the first one I've ever come across in a hotel chain. It was such a change not to wake up with a sore back. The bathroom had I nice big shower cubicle which was also a very pleasant change. Whoever has a bath in a hotel anyway?? The room was nice and clean everything was in good order. While we didn't use the pub/restaurant it looked very nice as we walked past. Check-in was nice and easy and all the staff we saw were helpful, polite and most importantly looked happy. It's amazing how much difference a smile makes. We will definately be coming back here.

I had a very good stay at Premier Inn Dartford. The room was clean, comfortable, and quiet, and the staff were friendly and helpful from start to finish. Great value for money and a convenient location. I would happily stay again!

This was my first stay at this Premier Inn for many years. First impressions were not great as after parking my vehicle I was approached by a man claiming to be homeless begging for money. Check in was delayed as only one lady on reception with a queue of maybe half a dozen people. My room was clean and comfortable and I must admit I had a good nights sleep. Restaurant next door was decent for the evening meal.

Having had a nightmare not being able to get in to the airbnb I'd booked down the road I arrived at Premier very tired (it was 1.30am old time, but the clocks had gone back an hour) very cold, and very frustrated that I'd been let down. The two chaps on the desk were utterly amazing, particularly with their manner... they not only dealt with the ridiculous situation of talking to the airbnb owner on the phone, who proceeded to haggle for the last room in the building in the early hours of Saturday night/Sunday morning, but they calmed me down, they solved problems without adding to mine... one even came up with me to my room, making sure I found it and to double check it was all ready to go. I was incredibly grateful. Next time, I'll book here in the first place.

Love staying at this hotel the staff are amazing and the rooms are always very clean , I highly recommend staying at this hotel

Plenty of space in the car park, although narrow bays. The ladies on reception were lovely - friendly, professional, welcoming. When opening the room door, the slot for the keycard was hanging off the wall but it pushed back into place and then worked. There were several suspect brown carpet stains outside the bathroom door and nasty-looking white stains on the middle front of the armchair seat - yuk. The furniture had seen better days as was peeling its outer layers. The mattress and pillows were fine and the bathroom sufficient. All the lights worked and the TV too. The restaurant attached to the hotel was horrendously under-resourced. There was quite a queue at the 'wait here to be seated' sign, and it did not move quickly. I really felt for the staff as there were just not enough of them, The chap behind the bar kept coming over and seating people, but was also running the bar so was torn between the two. There was a harassed waitress who was lovely, and kept apologising to people for the delays. She was clearly trying hard but lacked backup. The food took ages to arrive, so did the drinks but this was not the fault of the nice waitress - she was over-run. A decent night's sleep, and breakfast was good although th eggs had run out. All in all - the hotel was tired and desperately in need of a refresh and a thorough deep clean. The restaurant staff lovely but too few of them.

Had a premier plus room but it was an Awful night sleep, every time you moved the bed made really loud awful noises room is tatty not worth the money we paid. So leaving a night early and finding a different hotel

Great hotel, staff always helpful, stayed quite a few times, comfortable clean rooms. The attached restaurant however seems to have gotten poorer over the last few months, very slow service from ordering food to arrival......

Room 120 family room. Awful as never slept. Room above floor boards creeked all night. Guest services were a waste of time

I had a wonderful stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly friendly and always ready to help, which made me feel very welcome. The room was clean, spacious, and comfortable, with all the amenities I needed. I especially loved the breakfast – it was fresh, delicious, and offered plenty of variety. The location was perfect, close to the main attractions but still quiet and peaceful. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and I would definitely come back and recommend this hotel to others.

Pros: The hotel was a decent standard: overall clean and with comfortable beds. The staff were friendly and fairly helpful. Booking in was easy, and the breakfast buffet was good. When my son slipped and bruised himself in the shower, one staff member was very concerned and responsive. She got me some ice for him as soon as I asked, and was very kind, asking if he needed her to call an ambulance (he didn't). Cons: The hotel in general was adequate rather than great. I've stayed in Premier Inns many times and have always found the standard higher than at this one. The tea and coffee supplies in the room were meagre and there were no drinking glasses (although these things could be obtained from reception). The punnets of long-life milk tasted particularly unpleasant (much worse than long-life milk generally does, in my experience). The buffet, although what it provided was all good, didn't have much variety in terms of, for instance, types of milk and cereals. One toaster was broken throughout our stay, and there were several staff members who were standing around chatting (on a couple of occasions ending up in the way of customers who wanted to get to the breakfast buffet). I paid for ultimate wi-fi, but there was some sort of glitch that meant it only worked on two of my three devices, despite me following exactly the same instructions with all of them. There was no bath mat provided, which led to, despite the "non slip" surface in the bath, my son slipping and falling, hitting the bath handle with his hip. The bath handle broke. Fortunately his hip didn't, but he ended up with awful-looking bruising and was stiff and sore for some days following. We were able to get a bath mat from reception after this incident, but if one had been provided he wouldn't have slipped in the first place. Overall, although this hotel was mostly adequate for our needs, I found it lacking in the quality I've come to expect from Premier Inn, and I won't be staying at this particular hotel again.

I was really disappointed with my recent stay at Premier Inn. The air conditioning/heating system in our room was not functioning properly and kept turning on and off, which meant the room never stayed at a comfortable temperature. It got far too hot at times, and sleeping was almost impossible. We raised this issue with the receptionist and while they did offer to provide fans or move us to another room, it really wasn't practical to repack everything and move with children and all our luggage already unpacked.

Stayed at the premier Inn Dartford for two nights, lovely/professional reception ladies, clean room and excellent stay

Wasnt a bad experience clean room fairly friendly staff.. but having to pay £6 for parking is ridiculous, already paying enough for the damn room. Probably won't come back due to that fact alone.

Wi-fi non existent, not good when you advertise as a budget business hotel. The key card insert by the door was faulty causing the lights and power to go out. Also they now charge on top of the stay for Parking.

We arrived at the premiere in on Saturday night and Andy was on reception and he helped us in every way he could ten out of ten great service

Lovely hotel, clean, modern rooms and really comfortable bed. Great restaurant, the breakfast is delicious. Helpful, cheerful staff . Easy parking. Did not hear the M25 despite being so close to it.

Rooms and hotel good as ever. Beefeater restaurant was nice. Exterior of building car park etc a bit ropey but hey ho. Overall good 👍

Stopped over on our way back from holiday. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Kids loved the restaurant and we all had a great night's sleep.

Excellent service and great staff . Easy to speak to and very friendly . Would recommend anyone to come here for a visit. Also Kate was especially helpful with my enquiry

This was a quiet clean place to stay. Would stay again.
