I would give 5* just for the breakfast staff working Saturday 18th, all super friendly and had a good attitude (Steven, Mara, raka). Too many issues with the room, ac not working properly, window broken, water leaking which affected water pressure, this wasnt told to us at check in, only found out when we called to complain, they charge you £6 just to send up some ice.

Dear Shahiba,Thank you for your feedback. We're thrilled to hear that our breakfast staff, including Steven, Mara, and Raka, made a positive impression with their friendliness and good attitude. However, we're truly sorry to learn about the issues you experienced with your room, including the AC, window, and water pressure. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused and for the lack of communication regarding these issues.

Your feedback is important, and we will address these concerns to improve our guest experience. We hope you will give us another chance to provide you with a better stay in the future.Kind regardsSylwia UmeloDeputy General Manager

Room service was so bad its took them about 2 hours to bring up some towels also only a few choices you can pick for food and the prices of things are really expensive. When we had alook around we round that our 1 bed-room suite wasnt cleaned the floor,i think they should have a better choice of food even when we rang for room service and and asked for two cooked breakfast they told me no sorry its lunch time so we only have sandwiches or chicken cuzzy,if you go to a hotel you should be able to get what ever food you want and also if you dont eat early in the morning and want a breakfast in the afternoon then they should do so also couls obly use the gym for free not aloud to ues the pool you have to pay for it and also when your spending alot of money it should be in the price.

Dear Emily,I'm sorry to hear about the multiple issues you encountered during your stay. It's disappointing to learn that your experience with room service was not up to par, and that there were delays in receiving towels. Additionally, the lack of cleanliness in your suite and the limited food choices available, especially during non-standard meal times, are certainly not reflective of the level of service we strive to provide.Your feedback regarding the pricing of amenities such as the pool access and the overall expensive prices of items is also noted. We understand your frustration and will take your comments into consideration as we strive to improve our offerings and services.We apologize for falling short of your expectations and for any inconvenience caused. Your feedback is important to us, and we will use it to address these issues internally to ensure they are not repeated in the future.If there's anything specific we can do to address your concerns or if you would like to discuss your experience further, please don't hesitate to reach out to our management team directly.Thank you for bringing these matters to our attention, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future for a much-improved experience.Kind regardsSylwia UmeloDeputy General Manager

Would very much recommend this hotel. Handy for Bluewater- bus goes to Bluewater every 12 minutes from a 10 minute walk down the road. Our rooms had lovely views over the Dartford Bridge. Upon arrival we unfortunately didn’t receive a warm welcome, it was late in the evening but the check in experience felt too rushed and we weren’t told the checkout time or anything about the leisure facilities- we were only told the times for breakfast and where our rooms would be. This was a shame and did not meet our expectations of a Hilton. However all the other staff and checkout was superb so I’d imagine it was just one member of staff rather th

I was looking for a hotel with a swimming pool and I hoped it would be fun, but unfortunately the pool was dirty, the water was weightless. It was really unpleasant to be there, but the child really wanted to, so we only spent an hour in the pool.

Nice hotel. A bit noisy if there is a wedding.
I stayed 2 nights going to a wedding in Gravesend The hotel is nice and the inside is spacious. There was a wedding on the 2nd night so it was noisy and didnt get much sleep Parking is not included so paid £7.50 a night for parking. I found this a little steep Breakfast was excellent buffet style with all the usual hot and cold options Omelettes were made to order Hash browns were over done. 2nd night i ordered food where i had a superfood salad with extra avocado and chips for £25 It was fine and salad tasty. Id have ordered deliveroo nxt time Its a great location from the dartford crossing and it has a pool and gym. Cant complain loads but not full marks

Great staff!!!
I was received very well by the reception staff. Very friendly and topped it off with a cookie after checking in. They were attentive and even asked about allergies. I have never been asked that in a hotel. The wonderful Jenny was able to quickly find me a new room once I found out that the phone was not working. The only downside was the steam room which felt more like a warm wet room. The staff in that area were quick to help and attempted to sort it out. The steam did come back but not a lot. Maybe I would have to wait a longer time for the steam to fill the room. Overall a wonderful experience and I will definitley be returning there! I will try the restaurant next time.

Relaxing and comfortable
Spacious room. Very comfortable. I got a lot of ny book written which was the reason for my stay. Got in the relaxing state i needed and had a clear mind focus. Slightly disappointed that on my 2nd day that the cleaners didn't ask me if i wanted a light clean. The swimming pool and busy and loud and not the most pleasant swimming experience. Other than that it was good to get out my room for a break and moving my body ☺️

Overall disappointing!
The room was clean. The noise and vibration from the generator/filter system outside our window went on through the night, which can be felt on the the bed. The pillows were rubbish and the duvet thin. The food was very average and not hot, not a lot of choice on the breakfast buffet and low quality produce. The water filter on the hot drinks machine needed replacing ( as stated on the machines display) so foamy white residue in the water. I have stayed in other Hilton hotels and this was well below par.

Very good hotel ideally located near M25 / Dartford Tunnel which suited my work schedule. Clean room, comfy bed, good shower. Beer and fish and chips in the bar also good. Have stayed in several Double Tree by Hotels. Usually pretty good. Wife used gym / pool while I was on business. Basic but adequate.

Great New Year get away
Fantastic stay, pool and gym were a highlight . The kids had so much fun. Location is lovely as very close to blue waters, and a short distance from a beautiful Lake. We also met the breakfast staff Mara who spiced up our final experience just before check out. She chatted to us and looked after us. That made a lot of difference for us. Even though the coffee Machine wasn’t working, we could see the efforts from the breakfast Manager and all the staff to make alternatives. Overall a great experience. Will definitely return.
