The Royal Victoria And Bull Hotel in Dartford

Great breakfast very tasty ,excellent value,well worth a visit.

The most confusing room layout ever.. the person installing the signs should be fired… it’s crazy how difficult it is to find the rooms. And why are there soo many fire exits and smoke doors … seriously.. redo the signs design and placement..: if you want an escape room experience come here.. haha other than that it’s basic/ok.. the room didn’t get cleaned in the morning. Location is perfect though

I use the Victoria and bull hotel most weeks for clients 3 to 7 rooms and everyone is very happy with rooms food and the service provided

The Royal Victoria & Bull supplied the buffet, tea and coffee for my Dads wake when we hired the tea rooms. The room was very nicely decorated and the food was lovely and very reasonably priced. And the staff were very helpful and friendly. We would definitely recommend them.

The Mattress is very old, the toillete seat was broken, the kettle was very dirty, carpet wasn’t clean, old facilities in shower, cigarette smell.. apart of this the breakfast and location was fine, and the service was ok. The price is high for what they offer.

I spent a very agreable stay here. The staff are nice and friendly. The room was calm and clean. The breakfasts and evening meals are of good quality. I would definitely visit again.

The room was very cold, even though we turned on the heater. The mattress was very bad. I didn't make a good choice.

Lovely staff lovely room but disastrous breakfast and I left something behind and now difficult to recover.. The majority of the people who were staying started work and had breakfast earlier and when I came down it seems like I had the leftover even the coffee had been stewing for over an hour. Not what I was expecting as I have stayed many times before sub standard breakfast last time but I gave them a return as the kitchen was being refurbished

The rooms are a bit run-down, and the cleanliness isn't great. The pub is nice but not very busy. We arrived at 8:30 pm and the kitchen was already closed. The beds are not very comfortable. The bathroom has a window that doesn't close... With the wind and the cold, it was maybe 10°C in the morning, making it difficult to take a shower or a bath.

Centrally located in town had lovely Christmas meal which we all enjoyed x

Had Christmas Dinner here. Was lovely food, amazing friendly service. Nothing was too much trouble. Food wasn't rushed and the manager was brilliant telling us about the history of the pub. Will definitely be back soon.

I come to the gaming club that's run here and have to say the staff are wonderful. As an Assistance Dog I'm welcomed with a fresh bowl of water which they will happily bring to my mums table (she often drops things). They make sure my mum is able to park her mobility scooter safely and have even charged it for her when she's been worried about how much life it has left. They have portable ramps so even areas with a step a wheelchair user can still access. While the gaming club meet in a room with 3 steps they are very accommodating, making sure that if my human was having a bad day, they would set up a more accessible table for her. In a world where so much us inaccessible, it means the world when people do everything they can to make an older building easy and welcoming. The quality of the food and lemonade is great according to my mum with the bar snacks being high quality. It's definitely not a whetherspoons, it is a traditional good old fashioned pub. If you want a proper pub with good food and kind welcoming people this is the place.

Lovely welcoming place right in the centre

Excellent place to stay as very central to everything. Staff are amazing and look after you. Rooms are lovely, even if floors are uneven (it is an exceptionally old building) Will be visiting again soon

We had a one night stay here just recently. The parking is a little difficult to get to but this was mainly due to the roadworks nearby. We ended up parking in a carpark around the corner as it was much easier to get to. The staff were very welcoming and the check in was simple. We made our way through the winding corridors and eventually found our room. The room was 'OK'. The decor is very dated and worn and in urgent need of renovation. The cleanliness was just OK. The bed was comfortable. The location was perfect - we didn't have to walk further than a few hundred yards to get to where we needed to go. Overall I would say this is a cheap and cheerful place but don't expect too much. Can't comment on the food as we didn't eat there. The bar is attractive and has a pool table, arcade machine, restaurant area and comfy chairs.

Location is in the main town which is central, parking is at the rear and had to get a different post code to navigate to it's access, would be worth putting on the website. Can't fault the politeness of the staff as everyone was very helpful. Room I stayed in however was very dusty and tired looking. Bedding was clean though but the furniture all looked a bit poor. One thing I couldn't work out was the key to the security front door opened the room door so unless I'm wrong all the room keys must be the same unless someone comes back to me and tell me different. It it's the case security is a real issue. Would I go back, No, but it served a purpose.

My husband and I enjoyed our stay with The Vic and Bull. We stayed in an ensuite room and it was perfect. It’s an historic building so there are creaks and wear and tear. All part of the charm. Our room was big, very clean and stocked well with towels. There was a coffee and tea station and toiletries if you need them( shower gel and shampoo). Our room was made up every day. The staff were warm and friendly. And the bar was great to sit in and enjoy a drink or three. The hotel is within walking distance to the train station. Five minutes to shops including Sainsburys. There are markets right out front every Thursday and Saturday. Definitely recommend and would stay again 😊

It's got some major upgrading work coming up soon The menu was limited due to this But such a great stay, made So welcome by all the staff

Lovely oldie worldie pub. Good beer and nice people.

Great service excellent room the overall atmosphere was absolutely brilliant only downfall was the standard of sausage was very bad not one us 5 could stomach it smelt and tasty not good and the bacon was over cooked but everything else was brilliant especially the scrambled eggs was so creamy and very tasty the waitresses where very helpful and inviting but definitely recommend people to staying here 😀

Didn't stay in hotel, but had drinks with friends in the bar. Great place lots of history, will book to stay there at some point.

Nice atmosphere and staff. Good quality food reasonably priced. X

Staying here as it has easy access to Brands Hatch. What a ovely little pub and hotel. Room was clean, and the beds were really comfy. Food was very good and staff were lovely. The bar area is really cool with some quirky period features, good ale and a pool table to play on. Will stay again. Thank you.

Love this place the oval bar the small seating areas the comfy chairs good choice of beers friendly staff

Stayed here for 1 night and had a good night's sleep. also had a few drinks in the bar and a meal before heading out for the night. Everything was very nice and would happily stay here again.

Pop along today for the 2for£15 midweek roast it was lovely lots of choice. My only moan is it could have been a bit hotter had far worse for more cost Keep up the good work

Room ok, apparently the bathroom had just been renovated. The furnishings are quaint. The smell of urine from the disabled toilet permeated the entire restaurant, and the food was catastrophic. Four out of eight dishes ordered were sold out three hours before the kitchen closed. The service didn't know about it. The hamburger consisted of two dried-out "bun" halves, a pattie that resembled the consistency of a burnt shoe sole, and a breaded onion ring that was dripping with frying grease. The pasta (finished product) was cooked for too long, but the contents of a tetra pack of pureed tomatoes were lukewarm. I couldn't find the promised mushrooms. The starter consisted of pureed tasteless shrimp, formed into small thalers, breaded and fried in fat that was too cold. As a side dish there were wilted lettuce leaves. The wine lukewarm. The friendly breakfast service won the point. This makes for a pleasant conclusion.

When out for drinks in Dartford, will generally pop in here for one. It's a good sized pub, but it always seems very quiet. The staff are nice and friendly and there always seems to be events on throughout the week.

Choose to watch the fa cup final with two friends. We had a fantastic time! The food was very tasty, the staff went out of their way to be helpful! Also a really good group of clientele! Very friendly! The place has real character and charisma! Funny the last time I was in was 1978 and a coach was there!! Will be coming back as lot of things to go through on the menu!! First class!🕉🕉😂😂😂mark

It is a hotel with a lot of history inside. The rooms are more than correct, but being in an old building has its limitations (many stairs, corridors, low ceilings...). But the authenticity of the site makes up for these shortcomings.

Lovely and convenient and in the town.

Nice rooms, superb service. Lovely food set in an amazingly historic building.

menus still not terribly exciting (being a vegetarian) following the recent change of management Can't comment on the hotel accommodation having never been able to afford to stay there.

Nice enough pub looking a bit tired these days, average beer range, like the tea Room at the front. New owners so watch this space.

Friendly staff, good breakfast and location couldn't be more central

Middle of the Town Pub/Hotel - Quite historic , basic Rooms with clean interiors and good showers . You can get anywhere in the Town within 5-10 mins on Foot - Own Car Park to rear with Hotel only sectioned area
