歡樂德雷曼酒吧及飯店(The Jolly Drayman Pub and Hotel)

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! ******* 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 ******* listed this non refundable hotel, in London, when it was at least 45 minutes away (one way), ******* ruined the London part of my trip!

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.

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.

We arrived at the Jolly Drayman at approximately 3:30pm on Saturday 15th October and had to wait in the bar in the pub for customers of the pub to be served before we could check in. There was only 1 member of staff on duty and she was working extremely hard and it was no fault of hers that we were kept waiting for over 10 minutes. Our room was quite old and was extremely overpriced (£85 for 1 night without breakfast or even a packet of biscuits in the room). The hotel needed a good makeover and the owners really should pay more attention to customer service when charging so much. I wont go there again and would definitely not recommend it to you!!!

This isn’t salubrious accommodation but it’s more than adequate. We stayed in the family room it had a king size bed plus a single. The room and shower were both clean. A shelf in the bathroom and a mirror near a plug socket in the bedroom would of been helpful. Tea, coffee, kettle, microwave and a fan all in the room ironing board and hairdryer on the landing for you to use. Room a bit pricey especially as it doesn’t include breakfast.

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.

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