Green View Hotel Near Dartford

Worth for the money.

Not great

Closed checkin early but only gave me 1 hour notice over email so had to find somewhere else and pay twice. Refused to refund leaving me out if pocket, would not trust them again. Sometimes hotels will see an opportunity to overbook rooms at last minute but these are usually ones to avoid

Es gab kein roomservice Die Betten waren zu kurz Das Zimmer war nicht sauber hinter einem Sessel war ein make up schwamm vom Vorgänger Die Wände waren dreckig Zimmer sehr laut da die Wände wohl aus Pappe sind Rezeption war ständig unbesetzt Keine Handtücher und auch keine Badematte vorhanden

Text: The staff were always helpful and the room was clean. Unfortunately the aircon didn't work and although to his credit, the manager did find another fan to use, it was still quite humid on the third floor. There was no signs of it being repaired and I wondered if it would ever be repaired. The shower was just great and quite powerful. A very pleasant surprise. I would stay there again and will be needing to travel to the area in July/August but the aircon will need to be working which I doubt will be repaired. Will book elsewhere. No breakfast was included but I discovered a cafe near the Orange tree pub Hawley Rd that did a substantial breakfast. Not sure who the guy is with his back photo but nothing to do with my review or indeed why its relevant in this situation. Maybe TripAdvisor should remove it.

Firstly, we are UK citizens. On arrival we were greeted by about 4 members of staff and then I was asked for ID which was scanned. I know this is common practice when abroad, but is a bit overkill in your home country and I wonder what they do with it? This place is more like a hostel which doesn’t start serving breakfast until 9am, which is late by most accommodation standards in the UK and abroad. The reception is not manned before 9am. When booking (6 months ahead) I requested a larger bed or 2 beds. We were shown to a very small double room with one side table and no fridge. The room on initial inspection looked ok but a bit tired round the edges. There were only 2 towels, nothing to dry your hands, no mat for the shower (the floor therefore became slippery). The soap dispenser in the shower was empty. We had tea and coffee facilities but no spoons to stir the drinks. Another single guest (who arrived after us) had a room with 2 beds. The room had aircon which worked well. The shower worked ok, the shower door wasn’t great, you had to force it to close. The TV was small but ok. The mirrors weren’t that well hung up. One of the windows wouldn’t close (the room was ground floor), so this was a security issue. I had to put my food in the staff fridge and then the staff member (when I rang them in the morning as reception was not manned) couldn’t find it initially as it was under the counter in the Indian Restaurant (ran by the same people). We cut our 2 night stay short. The location is quite remote but handy for brands hatch and I’d guess all the patrons were going to the circuit. There are only 2 places to eat within walking distance, an American diner and the Indian Restaurant. We would not stay here again, there are much better options locally. I suggest you avoid this hostel. I gave the “hotel” a chance to respond before posting my review online and they have not responded.
