Shamrock Guest House

The manager was friendly and very professional. My room was clean, tidy and all ready for me. Highly recommend!

Back in 2019, I booked my friend a three-week stay at the Shamrock Hotel. They were coming over from Jamaica for my graduation, and we were pleased with the service for the price. The room and the area around it were clean, pleasant and peaceful. A woman came in every day to clean the room and shower. At check-in, the gentleman at reception was polite and very professional. Based on our experience, we'd have no hesitation recommending this place.

I've stayed at plenty of hotels in Dartford and Kent since starting my career, but this is honestly my favourite. The owner is always welcoming and helpful, the area is lovely, and it's well connected to popular shops and to Dartford and London. Prices are very affordable for the quality. It feels like home here, and I'm slowly becoming a regular.

I usually don't spend time writing reviews, but people should know about Shamrock. I've backed this up with pictures. The whole place smelled of smoke, and the furniture had burn marks. Everyone was smoking. With all the carpets, it seems like a fire could happen someday, especially if the smoke sensors aren't working. The microwave was rusty and stained, and smelled of at least five different meals. There was fungus in the fridge. The Wi-Fi was basically nonexistent. If you could connect, the speed was very slow and it kept disconnecting. I wasn't logged on any book when I arrived, so countrywise, I've never been there. The shower pressure was poor, water leaked from the shower head, and the plastic door was broken. By day two the drain was clogged. The bed only had a fitted sheet and duvet cover, and the cover came up short. If you're 1.80m tall, your feet might be left uncovered. I get that the place is affordable, but there should still be some basic attention to health and safety.
