Crest View Flat, With Onsite Parking Overview
First Impressions
When I first pulled up to Crest View Flat, With Onsite Parking on Black Eagle Drive, I’ll be honest — it’s not the flashiest place you’ll ever see. But you know what? Sometimes that’s exactly what you want. This three-star property sits quietly in Swanscombe, and there’s something refreshingly straightforward about it. The fact that parking is right there on-site immediately caught my attention — anyone who’s driven around Kent looking for a decent spot to leave their car will appreciate this more than they realize.
The Space Itself
The apartment setup works really well, especially if you’re traveling as a couple (which seems to be the sweet spot here, based on what other guests have told me). You get your own space without feeling cramped, and the kitchen means you’re not tied to eating out every meal — though honestly, sometimes it’s nice to just grab some groceries and have breakfast at your own pace. The room feels lived-in rather than sterile, which I actually prefer when I’m staying somewhere for more than just one night.
Location Perks
Here’s where this place really shines — the location is genuinely solid. Swanscombe might not be on everyone’s radar, but it’s perfectly positioned if you want to explore both the Kent countryside and still have decent access to London. You’re close enough to Gravesend that getting around isn’t a hassle, and the Dartford Crossing is nearby if you need to head into Essex or further into London. I mean, it’s not exactly central London, but that also means you’re not paying central London prices while still being connected to everything.
What Actually Matters
The practical stuff here works without any drama — the WiFi doesn’t cut out every five minutes, the shower has decent pressure, and you’re not dealing with paper-thin walls where you hear every conversation from the next unit. The onsite parking situation is honestly a game-changer if you’re driving, because finding secure parking in this area can be more complicated than you’d expect. Plus, there’s something to be said for a place that doesn’t try to nickel and dime you with extra fees for basic things.
Why Guests Love It
What keeps people coming back (and rating this place well) is that it delivers on what it promises without any surprises. Couples seem to particularly appreciate the privacy and the fact that you can actually relax here — it’s not trying to be a party destination or a business hub. It’s just a solid base where you can settle in, explore the area during the day, and come back to your own space in the evening. The combination of reasonable rates, reliable amenities, and that surprisingly handy location makes it work for people who want something dependable rather than flashy.
Hotels in London span royal parks, riverside wharfs, and Victorian arcades lined with tea salons.
