St George Hotel Rochester - Chatham

8/10 Good

"In general everything was alright except possibly the Continental Breakfast which was below par."

King Charles Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a lovely stay at the King Charles Hotel. The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the local area, offering great advice on nearby places of interest and attractions. The breakfast was plentiful, with a good selection, and the staff was always courteous and welcoming. Although the rooms were a little dated, they were clean and comfortable. Another bonus was the hotel bar, which offered an array of food choices which was a welcomed convenience after a long day of sightseeing. Overall, the hotel provided a pleasant stay with excellent hospitality. The friendly staff really made a difference, and I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a welcoming base from which to explore the surrounding area."

"Great room , amazing value Lovely staff on check-in"

"Excellent service"

Castle Garden View - Two Steps from Central Rochester High Street

8/10 Good

"Excellent location, very convenient for exploring the town, which is delightful.The accommodation is spacious and well equipped and the host was quick to rectify a few minor issues. We knew it was up several sets of stairs so that was not a surprise but the placement of the beds, although they are comfortable, is a little tricky for older guests. Also the addition of a grab bar in the bathroom would make showering a lot safer. Overall a great stay."
