"Central location let down by tired , filthy interior."

6.0

Central location and friendly reception staff.Free limited parking and convenient to all Rochester has to offer.

Run down dirty looking carpets and decor.This is an historic building in the centre of a beautiful town which is steeped in history and deserves to be preserved and restored to its former glory.Most towns/cities have a historic landmark building converted into a outstanding go to destination and this should be one of them.

"Super helpful and friendly staff"

9.0

The staff were super friendly and helpful. They let us store our bags both before check in time and after check out, which was a tremendous help .... we were able to go have a Sunday roast luggage free while we waited for our train 😋. We stayed in a room with a king bed and ensuite. The location couldnt be better, with Rochester castle and cathedral literally in the backyard and right on the high street with easy access to shopping, pubs, restaurants and museums. It is just a few minutes walk from the train station. The hotel is VERY old. Like 400+ yrs old. It definitely shows it's age, but we were comfortable and happy with our stay. The only disappointment ....the ghost dog didn't visit us and curl up at the end of the bed. Maybe next time.

If you are picky about decor this isn't for you. It's definitely dated. Some room choices are shared hall bath. This isn't an issue for us but for some it might be.
