Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a top pick for live music fans thanks to its easy access to major roads — just a short drive from Junction 1A of the M25 — and proximity to public transport links into Dartford and surrounding areas.

The on-site bar with terrace seating is a great spot for a nightcap, and while there’s no 24/7 room service, the restaurant serves meals from breakfast through dinner. The area is also within easy reach of eateries at nearby shopping centres.

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself is more about relaxing than raving, it’s close to the action. A short drive or bus ride gets you to the bars and clubs around Dartford and Bluewater. After the show, you can retreat to a peaceful setting with views over the lake, a welcome contrast to the crowd.

Areas for Improvement

Some rooms are a bit dated in decor, and the walls can be a little thin — pack earplugs if you're a light sleeper. Wi-Fi is available but may not be the fastest for streaming your concert videos.
