What guests think

At Spring River Ebbsfleet by Marston's Inns, travellers highlight clean, modern budget rooms, friendly staff, and a convenient location near the A2, Bluewater and Ebbsfleet, with ample parking and an adjoining pub/restaurant making meals easy.

Rooms are generally quiet and comfortable, though some guests found mattresses firm and noted weak or inconsistent showers, occasionally slow Wi‑Fi, and limited in‑room amenities such as no iron or fridge. Service is often praised, but there are reports of housekeeping not happening as expected, occasional check‑in or room‑allocation mix‑ups, and rare rude interactions. The pub next door is convenient, yet food and breakfast quality vary from great to disappointing, and a few mention traffic or car‑park noise. Expect a clean, good‑value stopover with simple comforts and some quirks.

Modern, clean hotel with welcoming staff. Room had everything you would want from a hotel of this style: good TV, good WiFi, USB ports by bed. Really need to drive to get to/from due to limited public transport with also means if you are without a car the dining options are limited to this adjoining pub which is fine but limits variety! Neither is a fault with the hotel itself but need to be known for travellers.

Very easy check in/check out, plenty of parking, very close to the A2 (which you can't hear because the hotel is quiet and well soundproofed. Nice staff and a comfy stay, next to a Co-Op for essential snacks/food, and seemingly tennis/football pitches being built next door (not sure if hotel guests will be able to use them, but worth noting!). A great stay at very competitive prices; we'll be stopping here again on trips down to cross-Channel ferries or Eurotunnel.

Bathroom very dirty for disabled‘s room the bathroom needs a deep clean.the plug sockets unusable to use as hidden underneath the bedside cabinet for a disabled person I could not get to it to plug my phone in so I had it close to me in the night. window black out curtains that are too small leaving a halo of light around the window this is the bath seat and shower rail filthy. Also shower head was awful wayer was terrible spraying all over the place needs a new shower head after travelling over 5 hours and arriving wanted to get a shower before bed and this is what the bathroom was like. I had to get the lady from reception to come and try get the rail down it took 2 members of staff to sort it out but as you see from the photos it’s very Unclean for an accessible disabled room being asthmatic I felt it was very dirty

The stay was generally fine. We didn’t spend much time at the hotel, but we did miss a bit of hospitality and atmosphere. The main points for improvement would be: making sure there are (disposable) toilet brushes available. We also found the shower curtain and the soap dispensers not very hygienic. We would recommend offering small travel-size bottles of soap instead of dispensers. The baby cot kept falling apart, and we also found the mattress quite uncomfortable for the baby. There were also stains in the bathtub, and large red stains on the carpet between the beds, which we didn’t find very pleasant. Other than that, it was fine for us since we were only there in the evenings to sleep. The price/quality ratio is fair.

A really clean and convenient hotel. Our family room was a good size with two separate beds for the children. There is also a very handy Co-Op round the corner if you don't have time to sit in for breakfast. There was a little noise from the motorway but nothing that put us off. Plus, if you have a Netflix or Disney + account it was easy to set it up on the television. Plenty of parking too!

This property does what it says on the tin. Comfortable stay and clean rooms however a bit outdated. We got a room on the ground floor facing out to the car park and it was loud (not the traffic just general noise from the car park - people chatting right outside our window). I would request staying further up. Our tv remote didn’t work but this was rectified during our stay. Overall all ok but it is just a 3 star hotel - nothing special.

Generally good value for money. We stayed here for 3 nights but were disappointed with the service we received. We were asked upon check in whether we’d like our room service and we confirmed. The next day our room was not serviced and we told reception who said it would be serviced the following day but it still wasn’t meaning our room wasn’t serviced during our entire stay. We complained about this but were told the hotel had no cleaning staff for the weekend but this was not communicated the first two times we spoke with reception on the issue - we’d have appreciated staff giving us the heads up at least!

I was allocated a Disabled Room on Arrival, after 30 minutes I was then allocated a standard room, then at approximately 11pm someone entered my room with a door key and said that it was his room. After another 30 minutes had passed the receptionist was banging on our door saying why are you in this room. I would like a full refund for this stay as I did not sleep all night and had a 4 hour journey in the morning

If you want to sleep and rest, this place is OK. The restaurant is outside the hotel and thank to mother nature, it wasn't raining seriously for the three days I was there. On rainy days, well, carry an umbrella as it is a three minute walk to get your breakfast. The room was fine, but the desk staff? I would rate their attitudes are like, Before you ask, the answer is No. The breakfast was OK, as good as any English breakfast you get anywhere else. I am not sure there are any public transportations, but it is not walkable from either Ebbsfleet or Northfleet, the two nearest train stations. Either your own cars or Uber. Uber is now plentiful. Once you get to Ebbsfleet, the fast train to London Pancras station is only 35 minutes.
