The Jolly Drayman is conveniently located close to the town. I have found it a reasonable hotel for short stays.

A lovely pub with great ales right next door to the fantastic Gurdwara Sikh temple. We got to look around and felt treated like royalty.

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 !

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.

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.

No breakfast available was the only downside. Also Gravesend is not the town it was. Pretty dirty and dead.

The check in staff were friendly and accommodating. The location was good for our requirement. Nice pub and most of the locals were friendly. Felt unwelcomed with the seating in the non-operational bar where we were trying to accommodate the viewing of the game for the other guests. Felt blamed for parking in the space provided as directed by staff; there was no signage saying that the area was to be kept clear as this is a fire exit. However, alternative parking provided relatively quickly. Also, the fan provided in the room did not work.

I would not stay here again. The bedsheet had hair/dust, kettle in the room wasn’t too clean, there was only a single cup besides the fact that I booked a king double room and the floor mat in the toilet was untidy. The exhaust fan looked as if it was not cleaned.

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!
