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.

A reasonably-priced and well-located 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.
