Been 3 times love the place and the staff rooms are amazing can't wait to go back

This hotel is really a B&B, so don't expect a chain hotel's vibe or amenities. That said, I would recommend this a budget option. The rooms are small but clean and the beds were comfortable. You will have to walk up a couple flights of stairs as there is no elevator. We did not use the continental breakfast on offer. The owners kept us supplied with tea and coffee for the kettle in the room. The two gentlemen were very nice and accommodating, and allowed us to store our luggage prior to check-in. While the area initially appears sketchy, it is actually a commercial/residential neighborhood in a very convenient location. The Strood rail station is a block away (trains into London), and there is an Aldi about a 5 minutes walk and a shopping center (M&S, Poundland, Starbucks) about 10 minutes away. Then you can walk across the beautiful bridge to the Rochester Castle, the High Street (LOTS of shops and restaurants) and the Cathedral in 10 more minutes. This hotel is a good *budget* option to use as a home base for the Rochester/Chatham area.

Very reasonably priced, comfortable bed and nice shower. Staff were friendly and welcoming. Good location near the train station and a short walk to Rochester Castle. Only negative, just wish we could have opened the window a little more to let cool air in at night, it was unseasonably hot weather so wouldn’t be a problem most of the time. Overall recommend this hotel.

Clean and tidy room with tea and coffee. Staircase leading up to the rooms had dirty carpet.

Room needed a coat of paint, tap was too small to fill a kettle, toilet seat was broken.

I stayed in the hotel for a single night alone during my trip to England. The location is rather remote from the main city centre and the surroundings near the hotel are a bit dodgy, without any services nearby. On the positive side, the Strood train station is very near the hotel, so if using this station the location is very convenient. No reserved parking is available at the hotel, only regular street parking. The hotel itself is very barebones, with a tiny reception area and a very narrow staircase without an elevator. In general everything is clean, but cheap and worn out. Hotel does not have any services like a restaurant available. My room was the cheapest option and was a very tiny room on the top floor. It barely had space for the twin bed, and no air conditioning. The bathroom was small, but had all the needed amenities, i.e. shower etc. It was clean and in a good condition. The room was ok for a single person to stay for a short period, but two persons in this room would have been crowded. Hotel has a wifi available, but it worked quite poorly in my room, so the coverage is not very good. I had the optional breakfast, which was served in a small room in the basement of the hotel. The breakfast was very basic but had the usual options available, like toast, cereal and yoghurt. The very friendly hotel manager was serving fried eggs on request. In a summary, very simple and basic hotel with some reservations, but also very low price.

Good

At the back of Strood station, somewhat unpleasant area but fine once you're in the hotel. Aldi nearby (2-3min walk) and generally ok. The hotel itself is tired but they've cleaned it to within an inch of its life, so that was good. No bar or restaurant & must use the lift. Reception people could barely speak English but they were polite enough. The room floorboards creaked a lot. A LOT.

Relatively basic hotel, next to Stroud station, check in was smooth and room was a little noisy due to proximity of station. Disappointing that the floor below us appeared to be smoking in the room as it permeated the hotel on our return, but overall the room did its job

Excellent location close to Strood railway station and 15 minute walk to Rochester Castle and High Street. The reception staff are super friendly and helpful. Will definitely stay here again when in the area. Great value for money.

Convenient place to stay - I asked for a check in later than advertised which they kindly agreed

Not bad for the price

Lovely spacious, comfortable and clean room. Friendly and welcoming staff. Easy walking distance of central Rochester. Excellent value for money.

Claims to be in Rochester but actually in Stroud. Very odd set up. No parking and parking nearby felt unsafe

Staff are fantastic, room was a bit noisy but you are by the train station and road so was expected. I would stay again.

Lovely hotel in a convenient location

Bed was hard no hot water from the shower

Brilliant stay - easy, affordable and very clean / tidy. Hotel also bumped me up to a double room on arrival, free of charge! Would stay again.

I have never had such a bad hotel experience! I was in the bed and felt damp - lifting up the sheets and mattress protector the mattress was covered in urine. It was a few days old and stank. The staff tried to deny this was urine, looking at the perfect white ceiling and claiming a leak. We were ushered into another tiny, unsuitable room with no apology. It was truly distressing. I have sent pictures and a request for refund/ compensation and await a response.

nice and clean property at reasonable price
