Campanile Hotel Dartford

I found good mattresses and good linen, which offers you a good night sleep! The facilities were exactly what was needed ( having a bath tube on this particular room)!

Absolutely awful hotel. If it wasn’t for the fact I arrived after midnight, I would have left straight away. I felt unsafe! You get the to rooms from outside the main reception. These doors have no security features on them. Anyone could come and go as key cards were not needed. The blocks/corridors looked like prison cells with the matching grey colour to enhance your prison experience. The rooms were no better. I don’t believe they have been updated since time began. I even had a modem socket on the wall. For anyone under 30, you may need to go and look up what they are! I am not sure how well the smoke alarms work in the rooms as I had someone smoking cannabis on one side of me and smoking tobacco on the other side as it stunk. I kept my shoes on the entire time I needed to walk inside the room due to how bad the carpet was. The bathroom had a lot of mould and rust. Even the lamp shade was stained. I understand they have taken the hotel over from another company but if you put your brand name to something then you should ensure that it is up to standards. This hotel was apparently taken over in July so they have had enough time to remove mould and increase safety at least. I stay in a Travelodge (or Premier Inn as they are meant to be the same standard) at least once a week for work and visiting friends but I have never encountered a hotel like this. I appreciate the website states that people will notice a difference in the hotels offering until they update it with their latest look but I think you should be more honest with how below the normal look this hotel actually is. It truly is awful. It’s not even cheap. I paid £70 for this treat! I don’t take photo’s of hotels usually but I do not think people would believe how bad this hotel was unless they could see proof!

Visited with a group of friends for a weekend stay. Breakfast on both mornings was an absolute shambles can’t remember a worse breakfast experience. The staff were told the previous evening that a large group would require breakfast at a certain time. However by the time I had arrived various items had run out and I was told bacon would be 7 minutes. I enquired again 5 minutes later and was told it would still be another 7 minutes as it had been put in the oven but someone forgot to turn it on! By the time the bacon arrived other items had run out and it seemed impossible to have a cooked breakfast with all the items at the same time. Other annoying aspects, the beans were ‘hidden’ on a separate table away from the other items and the bread was hidden out of sight in a drawer. Onto the room. The TV didn’t work on Friday evening so I reported it Saturday morning. Nothing had been done as it still didn’t work Saturday evening. I went to reception Sunday morning and they had no record of my reporting it. In checking the wires at the back of the TV I found a cigarette so the room obviously wasn’t cleaned thoroughly. Overall a shambles

The hotel smells in places of damp and in other places of weed. I stayed there around 20 years ago when it was a Campanile, and there have been no updates to the rooms at all since then. The window in my room (309) could not be closed as the handle was loose and would not allow you to pull the window close enough to the frame for the latch to engage. The bathroom was clean but worn, my room had an excess of shower curtain hooks that just opened a space to allow water to drain onto the floor. The shower was fine but would occasionally go very hot then back to normal. The carpet was thin but had pieces of dirt on the floor, as if the vacuum cleaner (if used) was not up to the task. The hotel bar/restaurant looked like a college common room from the 90's. The furniture was filthy and damaged. The upholstery was torn, pitted and stained. On the plus side, it was cheap with free parking, and the bathroom had 2 bath towels. Reception staff I engaged with were understanding and friendly, but with the state of the place could do very little to mitigate for issues. I would not stay there again in its current state.

This is 2025 the room is not good and that breakfast too dry crack on the wall bedding not changed too bad

Old and dated with a musky smell . Travel loge have not done anything with it ! Its like a bad bed sit and was over charged for food still not got a refund

I'd booked six rooms, one person had to be moved because off the room smelling nasty, one refused to stay, no one was happy with the rooms, hou couldn't get served at the bar at night so we had to find a restaurant to eat, the breakfast which we all paid for was horrendous, the food was terrible and at no point was it all out together, the crockery was dirty and the coffee machine was disgusting when they opened it to unblock it, we'll definitely not stop at a travel lodge again.

Not worth saving the money on a cheap room, spend a bit extra and stay somewhere decent!! Room stank, outdated and dark. Breakfast was so unorganised, obviously not enough staff. Wait times were ridiculous.

Time warp hotel, receptionist on his mobile phone instead of serving customers, worn out dirty carpets with mouse droppings, broken and rusty fittings, filthy bathroom, tiny tv, musty smell and screaming babies.

The hotel is in a great location. Needs a bit of renovation but travelodge are open about that. The reception staff seemed to be doing everything and were very helpful. The room itself was clean and everything worked. The bed was comfortable and clean, the tv worked and the curtains were black out. What more do you want for £65 on a Saturday night. I would stay again.
