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.

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.

I was interested in a low priced hotel, IN LONDON! Expedia listed this hotel as in London. This hotel is far outside of London! The time it would take, to get a train, plus the money for the train, would be too time consuming for this trip! Because Expedia listed this non refundable hotel, in London, when it was at least 45 minutes away (one way), Expedia ruined the London part of my trip!
