I've stayed here several times on business and it's an excellent base to work from. Quiet, clean comfortable rooms and reasonable food - haven't sampled the bar food yet though. Friendly staff. Watch out when you turn on the shower though - as another reviewer says, it is very powerful. Made me appreciate what a water cannon must be like!

Ship & Trades is one of the nicest bars/restaurants to go to in the area... It's a bit pricey when it comes to drinks but food is reasonably priced and is actually really good! My parents always stay at the hotel when they come to visit me so we often have dinner there and we've never had anything gone wrong... More

I stayed here on a business trip, but will equally use it for a holiday break. There is a lot to see in the area and this would be a good base. I had a room with a view over the water which was pleasant. The room was clean and very comfortable, with a very powerful shower! As a Shepherd... More

A pub with accommodation - the pub element was very good - friendly staff, good food (apart from the garlic-flavoured greens) and good choice of drinks. The accommodation was comfortable, if a little small, but tired in appearance. It needs to be redecorated, particularly the bathroom, which was made unsightly by peeling paintwork. it would have also benefited from a... More

I stayed one night here while working in the area and was really surprised at how nice it was. The welcome on arrival was very friendly and helpful as were all the staff I met. The interior is a great fusion of old industrial pieces with a modern twist. The room was spotlessly clean and made a very pleasant change... More

I stayed here for 3 nights for business. It should have been 2 but I managed to be a day early... the staff were delightful and helpful and found me a room and didn't make me feel a complete twit! The rooms are well equipped and a good size given the price. My only slight issue was that the walls... More

We stayed here as a base for an evening out celebrating a friends birthday in Rochester high street. It's about a 5 min taxi ride into the town and not walkable (in practice). The rooms are of a very good standard if a little small but perfectly adequate for the short duration we were there. Both the bedroom and bathroom... More

Stayed here for business for 3 nights in December and was pleasantly suprised by the lovely rooms to say we were staying in a pub. The room was big and had a huge bed, big flat screen TV, great bath and tea/coffee making facilities, lot's of storage space for your belongings. The breakfast room (on the same level as the... More

This building has been converted from the Apprentice joiners workshop & warehouse & as such has a great theme of a nautical nature. Shepherd Neame (the operating brewery chain) have done a good job with the transformation and there are several interesting bits of history to look out for. The bar area is reminiscent of a ships engine room and... More
