Great stay for families

Customer service was friendly & helpful. Breakfast was good & offered sandwiches for the morning we left too early for breakfast. The hotel was clean but dated. The bathrooms could do with stripping back & updating.

Somewhat tired and run down

In its heyday, this was probably an excellent hotel, now looking very tired. Not helped by a car park that appears behind a wire fence because of the sectioned off redevelopment area. I understand the council are not making encouraging noises. This is a shame as there is a lot to like about the hotel.

Great location for Chatham Dockyard and Medway are

Very convenient location for visiting Chatham Dockyards & R.E. Museum. Interior, rooms and garden much better looking than initial carpark 60's motel appearance. Light and airy bedroom and bathroom. Single glazed so you might want to ask for a room garden side, away from busy Brompton Road though it is set back.Good size carpark. Decent bar and dining room areas, with unexpected and excellent local singer providing evening entertainment, though this may have been linked to the Dutch coach trips overnight stop. Quaint, privately run hotel, with many returning guests; adapted from original NAAFI site and still catering to corporate events for local military reunions. Would be happy to book again in prefence to chain hotels.
Spacious bedrooms with storage, large dressing mirror but small TV.
Pine themed bedroom. No air-conditioning, efficient fan provided.

KIng charles Hotel

It was our first time at the KIng Charles Hotel, the staff were very friendly, the room we had was nice and clean. The only thing was we could hear the traffic outside, all night. So we didnt get alot of sleep,as we were woken up alot. Apart from that the hotel itself was excellent. We would come back again, as long as we could have a different room, away from the main road.
