Travelodge Dartford

Rooms at the Travelodge Dartford are a mix of double and family rooms. All rooms include comfortable king-size beds, a television, a work desk, tea and coffee making facilities and an en suite bathroom with a shower.

Unlike most other hotels, only your first 30 minutes of Wi-Fi wireless internet is free. If you need more internet you have to pay £3 for 24 hours.

Although this is a budget hotel, prices can fluctuate depending on demand and it can be much more expensive staying here during peak periods.

The immediate area is not very attractive as the hotel is wedged between a rail line and a busy road (the external traffic noise may be an issue for light sleepers). There is a Burger King next door, Stone Crossing railway station is directly behind the hotel and just behind that is a small local pub, The Lads of the Village. Apart from this, there isn’t much of interest in the immediate area and the main reason to stay here is free parking and access to trains into central London.

Stone Crossing is outside the Oyster travel area so you can’t use an Oyster card or contactless payment. Buses also stop outside the hotel, stopping here en route between Dartford town centre and Bluewater shopping centre.

There are over 500 Travelodge hotels in the United Kingdom. Travelodges in Great Britain, Ireland and Spain are a separate business to the Travelodge hotels that operate in Canada and the USA (which are run by Wyndham) and the Travelodge hotel chain in Australia and New Zealand (which is part of TFE Hotels). Although all Travelodge hotels worldwide serve the same ‘quality budget’ end of the market, if you’re used to Travelodge hotels in Australia, New Zealand or North America their hotels in the UK may be a little different to what you are used to.
