Best Western Manor Hotel Overview
First Impressions
The Best Western Manor Hotel sits quietly on Hever Court Road, and honestly, it’s one of those places that surprises you in the best way. I mean, Gravesend isn’t exactly where you’d expect to find a gem like this, but here we are. This three-star property has that understated charm that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something the crowds haven’t caught onto yet — though apparently, plenty of guests have, since there are more repeat visitors here than at most other hotels I’ve stayed at.
Location & Getting Around
You know what’s great about this spot? It’s actually perfectly positioned if you want to explore both the Kent countryside and pop into London when the mood strikes. The parking is free and private, which is honestly a godsend — you don’t realize how much you appreciate that until you’ve circled London streets for an hour looking for a spot. Couples seem to absolutely love the location (they rate it 8.7, which is pretty impressive), and I can see why. There’s something peaceful about being just outside the hustle while still having easy access to everything.
The Room Experience
The room I stayed in was comfortable without trying too hard — clean lines, decent space, and everything you actually need rather than stuff that just looks good in photos. The beds are proper comfortable, and the windows let in good natural light during the day. It’s not flashy, but it’s the kind of place where you sleep well and wake up refreshed, which is really what matters when you’re traveling.
Breakfast & Dining
Now, the breakfast situation here is actually impressive — they’ve got continental options, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, the works. It’s set up buffet-style, but they also do breakfast to go if you’re the type who likes to grab something and explore early. I appreciated that they clearly put thought into accommodating different dietary needs without making it feel like an afterthought. The coffee’s decent too, which — let’s be honest — can make or break a morning.
Why Guests Love It
There’s something to be said for a place that keeps bringing people back, and this hotel clearly has that figured out. Recent guests have rated the location 8.5, and after spending time here, I get it. It’s not about flashy amenities or Instagram-worthy lobbies — it’s about getting the fundamentals right and creating an atmosphere where you feel genuinely welcome. The staff seems to understand that hospitality is about the small things, like remembering preferences and making sure everything runs smoothly without you having to think about it. For the price point, you’re getting solid value and a base that actually enhances your trip rather than just providing a place to sleep.
