What attracted us to this Hotel was the location - right in the centre of Bexley Village, just right for us to attend a party at my brother’s place after driving down from Wiltshire.
As soon as we got there, we realised that we had made a mistake. The entrance door handle was hanging off, attached only with gaffer tap and it didn’t improve when we got inside. The rooms were located along a labyrinth of narrow, musty corridors on multiple levels, covered in cheap dirty carpet. The room itself was equipped with poor quality furniture and another gaffer taped door handle to the bathroom. The carpet around the beds was so dirty that we couldn’t take our shoes off. We debated leaving and trying to find somewhere else, but we were late for the party and we didn’t know where to look - so we stayed, but used our own pillows.
After the party, we arrived back by taxi to find that Saturday night in Bexley Village is like high season Ibiza. Literally hundreds of youngsters spilling out from at least 4 very noisy pubs! At least the room was at the back and surprisingly quiet, so we slept soundly. We left early in the morning after a shower - not too bad and nice clean towels.
