Really enjoyed it.

Very friendly/ helpful staff. Bed was super comfortable and a brilliant location for easy access to the Main Street of Rochester.

Shocking

The high street it was located on was beautiful

Everything. I understand its an old building but it was filthy! The main stairwell looked like it hadn't been hoovered in months, the dust in the rooms was shocking. The shower trickled out, the units on the walls didn't work, no Aircon just a little fan. Staff wernt bothered at all and didn't want to be there. Would not recommend to anyone

Superb

The location of this hotel, right in the center of Rochester, was perfect. The staff were friendly and helpful. The room I had was fine, with a lovely view of the Guildhall.

On my arrival the electric socket for the TV wasn't working (but a member of the staff resolved this by supplying me with an extension lead) The bed could have been a bit more comfortable

Excellent value for money for the location. It definitely needs cosmetic upgrades.

Excellent price, friendly staff, great location, safe, secure, and free onsite parking was a great bonus

Needs paint, new carpets, and a general upgrade.

It's right in the town centre so everything is close by. Lots of history in the building and surrounding area and lots of little quirky shops. Beautiful views of the cathedral and castle on your doorstep

This isn't mentioned in the description but it has its own nightclub underneath which is open on Saturday nights. You will hear the thumping music till the early hours and loud drunks outside !

The location is perfect, and the staff were courteous, friendly and helpful, the decor and facilities are tired and dated but perfectly serviceable which is reflected in the price, as it was £90 cheaper than the purple hotel chain much further out of town.

No bar, but many close by

Very disappointed and underwhelming

We like the location it is in. Near to the train station and the town. Right next to the museum which is a bonus 🙂. It's a very historic hotel which is nice.

There's a lot of things we didn't like. As a hotel that is about history such as Charles Dickens and queen victoria staying in this hotel we are disappointed that you haven't kept up the cleanliness and environment standard of the hotel. Here is a list : . Carpets dirty and tired looking . Floor boards feeling like they are going to fall through when walking on them. . Damp . Mold . Horrible smell of smoke and damp in our room. . wallpaper pealing off . Rust and rot around the windows and window seel. . Stains on bed I think this would be a amazing and lovely bit of history of a hotel if the decoration, cleanliness, and the up keep of the hotel was sorted out.

Right in centre of Rochester and fantastic view of the cathedral.

The view from the room was not much of a view. The carpet was stained and the rest of the hotel was not very clean. Not what I was expecting.

* Good location * Polite staff * Nice size room.

* The creaking everytime someone was near or walking by my room was so loud it was hard to sleep. * Shower was next to impossible to get temperature right. * Uncomfortable bed. * Room just generally wasn't very clean.

Never again

The location of the hotel could not be better. This is a lovely hotel which if this was done up would be outstanding.

This hotel needs a good clean, even the toilet in our room had "skidmarks" up the back of the pan and tissue still in the toilet when we went into the room. Everything needs renewing, this is dated but worse of all "dirty". carpets have not been cleaned, black mould in the tiling in the bathroom and outdated broken fittings handing off the bedroom walls. Our toilet ball valve was broken so continuously trying to fill (great noise during the nightime), bed clothing very creased, ripped, frayed and not very nice at all.

Great location and price

The staff were friendly. The room was large and clean. The bathroom was clean also and the water very hot! The location was brilliant, right on the high street. Lastly ... the price was great

The door to the hotel was incredibly hard to open/lock after hours. Windows would not stay open. The radiator was on full, with no way of turning it down

This was a romantic idea to revisit the place where we had our first date 50 years ago. The tired unloved yet historical

Historic and wonderful location. car parking at hotel available

Tired and in need of renovation. Room had no phone, no bedside lamps, no working TV , no bath plug, no extra covers,no heating in the bathroom and no mini bar. The only chair was too low to see into the mirror of the dressing table. There was no bar no dining room and no breakfast in the hotel

Great value short stay.

Very pleasant stay, large clean warm room, towels, King size bed, clean sheets, warm bath, tea coffee. That is what we wanted, that is what we got.

Parking is limited, first come first served etc, Can be noisy, as it is located on the high street and next to the Cathedral, so don't complain (Take some ear plugs)

We needed a place to stay for a wedding and it fulfilled our needs. Loved the location.

Great location and value for money.

Very tired property. In need of some redecoration. Room was clean but very dated. Bathroom wasn’t great. Double bed was two singles pushed together but it was comfortable regardless.
