All staff at Reception efficient and friendly. Room was excellent at the back of the hotel so no traffic noise. Rooms were cleaned daily before midday. Breakfast was okay but could have done with a variety of yoghurts to choose from rather than a bowl of natural yoghurt to help yourself. Quick service by staff in Restaurant and efficient. Very close for visiting Chatham Dockyard also the train station. The price for bed and breakfast per night was very reasonable.

The hotel has a very old-school vibe with dated decor throughout. While the beds were comfortable and the bathrooms surprisingly spacious, the overall feel is quite outdated—especially the tiny TVs which felt like a blast from the past. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful, but the breakfast experience was disappointing: the selection was limited and the breakfast staff were quite rude. After the first morning, we chose to eat at Wetherspoons instead. Wouldn’t stay again, but it’s passable if you just need a place to sleep for the night.

Hopefully breakfast is good too. Hotel overall is good value for money. Would use again. Good to support a family run business.

Rooms in need of updating.

The hotel is a ugly from the road. In fairness the lobby and communal areas are well presented and clean. The Owners are keen fish enthusiasts- there being 3/4 aquariums and a koi pond. The road is a little noisy at night. The room we occupied was dated and the beds were old and saggy. The room was clean.

We had a 2 night stay as close to the historic dockyard. First impressions-The hotel looked tired and cordened off areas in the car park..however it was explained that they are renovating the hotel and areas. Dont judge it by it's cover. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Good food (breakfast and evening meal). Reasonable prices for the meal and bar drinks. Loved the outdoor areas with all the fish..beautiful to sit out there in the sun. We had a family room- it was great that we had a child's bedroom within our room! Only downside that it was quite bright in the morning-maybe could do with some thicker, darker curtains. It was warm, but two fans were provided for this. Comfy bed and had all the usual facilties. We really enjoyed our stay there and a nice change from the usual large coporate hotels.
