Advantages: A surprisingly decent hotel with comfortable public areas and accommodation
Disadvantages: The name puts you off. Renaming it "Hilton London Bluewater" would be more attractive

...Why on earth did we visit the Hilton Dartford Bridge? You may well ask! Situated just off junction 1A of the notorious M25 motorway (Commonly known as the World's largest car park) and with a fascinating view of the Queen Elizabeth II bridge over the river Thames, it's not exactly a holiday destination. I decided to treat Amanda to an afternoon's shopping at the huge and excellent "Bluewater" shopping mall and thought that a night at the Hilton would (a) be a pleasant way to end the day and (b) boost my Hilton Hhonors point balance. There! I'm a true mercenary! I mean romantic; of course I do. The Hilton Dartford Bridge is thus named because it stands in the shadow of this wonderful bridge. The name puts you off right from the start. It's five minutes' drive from Bluewater. Think about it...."Hilton Dartford Bridge" or "Hilton... Read review

I phoned the hotel to check availability and was greeted by a very friendly member of staff David. He was very plesant and very helpful. He made sure that he knew exactly what room I wanted before he booked it for me and he... Read review

Advantages: Convenient for Dover Ferries.Easy to find. Good Parking
Disadvantages: Damage to room.No toiletries in room.Poor facilities

...Travelodge Dartford was conveniently situated for access to the Dover Ferry Terminal, easy to find and had good parking facilities. Our room was en-suite, but unfortunately the bathroom door had a large hole in it. When informed, reception staf said they knew about this, but no action was taken.Excellent facilities for anyone requiring to use their own toiletries, as none, not even soap, were placed in the room. Staff did supply us with a bar of Asda Smart Price Soap when asked, however.Great for people watching their caffine intake as only decaffinated coffee was available. Super for those wanting an undisturbed night, as there was no telephone in the room.Fantastic for those wanting to dry their hair "Eau Naturalle" as there was no hairdryer available either. Sorry, Travelodge Dartford, but you did not meet the usually excellent... Read review

Advantages: Price (for London), Location, Standard of Rooms and incl breakfast
Disadvantages: Facilities, Nearly always full for late bookings

...I am a regular visitor to the South East of London, and with a family of four, The holiday Inn express at Dartford bridge is our usual stop. We stay here because of the typical room pricing and quality compared to other Hotels in the area. If you join the HI priority club the usual price per night of a stay there is in the Region of £50.00 at the weekend (Thats 12.50 per person per night) and includes Breakfast (not cooked full english, but help yourself buffet style with cereal, pastries, toast, fruit juice and tea/coffee). I have often got in at 40.00 though. The rooms are always clean and tidy. Family rooms will sleep 4 using a bed setee, and although these are not the most comfortable its reasonable for the length of stay that we make (typically weekends). There is a large amount of parking, and the hotel is easily found... Read review

...The Dartford River Crossing is one of those landmarks that I take for granted. Living not far from the M25, and using the tunnel on a reasonably regular basis, it has become purely and simply a means of getting across the Thames with the least amount of hassle. It was only when some friends visited from up north that I realised quite how much I took it for granted. They had never seen it before, only in pictures, and were looking forward to actually driving across/through it. They had no idea about how long it had been there, how much it cost, nor about who actually ran it, so I ended up having to tell them everything I knew about it. I guess that must be what has prompted me to write this review, as I’m sure there are many people out there that may be unaware of many aspects of the crossing. ** BRIEF HISTORY... Read review
