Location, and staff were very friendly
Stayed here a few times while working in the area and it’s great value for money in a great location .. Parking is a big plus also
Got bitten badly either gnats or bed bugs
Location.
No breakfast or bar. The room needed some tlc.
Bed was clean and comfy, one of the few good points of the stay.
No hot water in morning even after letting run for 5 minutes. Your cold to shower in. Plastic bag found over smoke alarm. Told on booking had high street view but got small courtyard view full of pigeons. 18" wooden panel to step over on entry to property out of hours. Was told on booking no parking on site that day so got train, but there was parking as my friend used it. No dimmable lighting in room. 10am checkout was a bit early and was charged an extra £20 for being slightly late out of the room.
It’s absolutely stunning. Lots of history on the walls on the stairs and in the halls.
Was very hot and the taps on the bath were a bit leaky when turned on. Minor issues really.
Room was beautiful and the street it was located on was beautiful, great for the concert i was heading to at rochester castle grounds.the cafes and restaurants during the day are great and theres a lot to explore for a day around there.
The area doesn't feel very safe after 10pm. I could hear people physically fighting and screaming outside at about 10:30pm. Phone reception was really bad in the room and the wifi wouldn't connect.
The receptionist was lovely! Nice and clean hotel, just round the corner from the castle. Couldn't fault it especially for the price.
No lift and was but a tricky as my legs aren't great but for the price it wasn't a problem.
Parking very handy in the middle of Rochester
The hotel is very tired. Decoration needs doing. Chipped paint everywhere. Carpets faded. Could feel the springs in the mattress. No breakfast available.
Charming Georgian building full of history, big room and comfortable beds. Perfect for a summer stay.
Location was superb, extremely close to local shops/ bars/ places to eat. The building itself is nice but appears to be aging....
Some of the room fixtures and fittings are in need of repair and the beds, although fairly comfortable appeared to be on a slant, as if they had been poorly put together. There was also a smell i am going to describe as 'musty' in the large central staircase leading to all rooms, which was unfortunately not masked by the hanging of Jelly Belly car fresheners from the wall fixed lamps. Floorboards very loud underfoot despite the thick carpet, could hear many people moving around the building throughout the night
Friendly reception staff, comfortable bed.
I was there during very hot weather. The hotel had made no plans to deal with that. My room was baking hot. The cold water came out of the pipes hot. There was zero acknowledgement or warning of this on arrival even though the hot weather had been known about. Honestly some forward planning or warning would have been the least that could be done.
The location was perfect to access restaurants, bars and views over Rochester
The bedrooms are all at an angle and felt unsteady when moving around
