Functional and affordable. Our room was large, clean, comfortable and quiet. It had been refurbished reasonably recently. All fine apart from the towels left on the back of the bathroom door from previous guests. Wifi did not work and when I asked reception I was told it had not been working all weekend, and no solution was offered. Mobile connectivity was poor in our room so we struggled with connectivity.We arranged for a travel cot in our room, which was provided, and yet we were given a room on the first floor. Despite this being a modern building, there is no lift. When the receptionist saw us approach with a pushchair she explained that we'd been given a room on the first floor, but could not offer anything on the ground floor despite the hotel being mostly unoccupied.The hotel is tucked away behind a large pub which has now closed. This makes it a very strange layout for a Premier Inn. The derelict pub building is used for the hotel's restaurant. The dinner menu is basic but fine. The bar has nothing on tap, just cans and bottles. The breakfast is good. Most staff we interacted with were polite and friendly.Do not be fooled by the 'central' in the hotel's name.

I believe that the quality of the hotel is dropping because the size of the new dining area! Approximately sixty rooms using a dining area that is the size of three bedrooms! Madness!You cannot regulate dining times for guests! Apart from the helpful staff this place will rapidly become just a basic b&b!Once again exemplary help from staff (Clo) I hope you can maintain your amazing staff!

We have used the hotel on Wrotham Road many times because it is always very clean and comfortable. We always ask for the same room and this has never caused any problems. …

Lacklustre reception and an adjoining 'restaurant' serving a very limited menu, which may only inspire teenagers on a limited palette.Wifi did not work on arrival, but has been reset. So it works. For now. Can't wait for breakfast...At this stage I would say that the only redeeming feature is the hotel's locality. Oh, and it's quiet.Update: Yes, the breakfast service didn't disappoint. The basic stuff is there, BUT CLEARING AWAY MY UNFINISHED COFFEE is a new low. I've down rated my experience. Short of swearing, I'd say this was a **** poor experience overall. I'm also unsure as to why my room is the temperature of Satan's armpit?I don't know if the housekeeping team work weekends, but the carpet ways on the ground floor are not screaming cleaned.Come on Premier Inn, you're better than this.

This is an OK basic hotel with friendly and hard-working staff, but there are a few issues. Firstly the positives, the bathroom was good and had both a fixed-head shower and a bath tub. Secondly, the breakfasts are excellent.  …
