Really lovely staff that made sure we had a good weekend since we wasn’t from round there!

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.

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 !

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 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!

Typical pub accomodation of a good standard but a few minor things not quite right such as a broken loo brush, Excellent equipment including fridge, microwave and kettle.

Comfortable. Very friendly
10.0
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.

Always a pleasant stay. Very convenient to the Town Centre.

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

Staff very welcoming, informative and friendly.

A one-night stop over the Christmas period. Room was warm and comfortable with a mini-fridge and tea/coffee making facilities. We checked in a little early and got a key which allowed us to access the room later without needing to go through the pub (which is lovely, but busy). We couldn't park on site when we checked in but when we came back later, after the pub closed, we had no problem at all. Friendly staff.
The pub is close to the railway line so there is some noise from trains but you'd expect some noise in a town centre pub.
3.0
While the room is clean and comfortable one of the main reasons I chose this stay was that they said they had a restaurant but the restaurant is closed and no food was available on site.
Hot water takes forever to come through in the sink and
I had to turn on the electric shower isolator switch in the main room.
That said probably one of the most comfortable beds I've slept in at a hotel but I was not keen on the woolen duvet cover
Given that I had to go out for food it would have been nice to have had a small desk or table to sit at. I found some plates and cutlery in the cupboard but had to wash them before they could be used.
Smallest TV in the world,

Stopped over one night on a cycling trip and found the staff friendly and welcoming and the room pleasant and clean. Didn't get a chance to eat at the pub, but location was good for riverfront food and early ferry to Tilbury. All exactly what I hope for!

Very clean room and good value for the price. The Jolly Drayman is a traditional pub with a good range of beers, the service was friendly and efficient although this is a locals pub we did not feel out of plac
