Everything was perfectly ok for a reasonable and good value overnight stay - the room was clean and had everything needed but the mattress was very uncomfortable indeed, needs replacing. Sadly I had a poor night's sleep due to mattress being long past its use by date. A shame because everything else was ok.

I was visiting family, so just required a base. The hotel was ideal and I spent 3 nights/4 days in the area. I would definitely stay at the hotel again, as I regularly visit my family.

Sadly deceiving..

Disappointed that this hotel is listed by hotels.com Having stayed at many, we were surpised to find this as poor as it was. No english-speaking night staff made communication difficult. We had two rooms, both of which smelled of the indian restaurant below. This isn't mentioned.

Was supposed to be a soundproof room but you could hear everything outside of the room including the constant noise of traffic and people talking in the street and outside the room and the shower had only one temperature which was extremely hot and the temperature would not adjust. Other than that the room was clean and the bed was comfortable

Excellent short stay at the Charles Hotel Chatham.

The Charles Hotel is very handy for the centre of Chatham. The room and en-suite toilet were very clean. The shower is excellent. The bed was very comfortable. The staff were friendly. It is very near the Station. On the downside the tv had no stations and the road outside is very busy but there is secondary glazing which helped. We didn’t eat there. Overall it was excellent.

Not great at all.....

Got the impression that the hotel had just been renovated however there were still elements of the previous state....damp on the walls, dirty and insects crawling around in the bathroom.

Comfortable place to crash for one night, nothing special but you get what you pay for. Only trouble we had was there was no hot water for the entirety of our stay, so we were lucky it was hot outside so a cold shower was refreshing.

The rooms are very spacious and reception and dining area is very nice. We were however made to wait outside for a while before we could get in. In fact another resident eventually opened the door. And there was no apology nor explanation when staff came. The carpets are dirty and the room smelled musty . We slept with the window own to minimise the smell. The breakfast service was good though

There was no towels in the bathroom. Staff knocked on the door before checkout time. On leaving, I pulled back the sheets, and there was blood and urine stains on the matress. Disgusting!!

Staff were great from start to finish. They accepted a very last minute booking, and were nothing but friendly. I had an issue with the tv aerial in my room and it was no trouble at all to come and pop a new one in. My room was comfortable, and actually really quite big. The shower was great. Nothing to complain about! If I ever need to come back to Chatham, I’d look to book here first. Would recommend!

Poor condition and cleanliness and service.

Access to the hotel in normal opening hours difficult, needed to climb back ‘fire stairs’ to enter hotel at midday. Hotel very poor cleanliness. Would not have wanted family to stay there.

Servicable but not recommended.

Meh. It was ok I suppose. Was blocked in the narrow car park. The narrow metal spiral steps to get in the building were not good if you have a bag. Inside was clean but minimal. No lift. Narrow steps on the stair cse to the second floor. Bed was hard. Even after we turned on the switch for the hot water and waited, there was no hot water for the shower. No a/c just a fan.

Friendly staff ..compact but comfortable room. Apparent lots of work.been done ... some details still to go, my blind not working properly. Internet access didnt work. Breakfast like a farce..clearly not had 6 cooked breakfast orders before. Not enough cups; tea, and coffee and water not readily available. Milk for cereal seemed to be a problem. Despite this the staff were friendly they just hadnt planned how to serve.
