Top St James' Church Hotel Reviews

St George Hotel Rochester - Chatham

8/10 Good

"In general everything was alright except possibly the Continental Breakfast which was below par."

King Charles Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I had a lovely stay at the King Charles Hotel. The staff were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the local area, offering great advice on nearby places of interest and attractions. The breakfast was plentiful, with a good selection, and the staff was always courteous and welcoming. Although the rooms were a little dated, they were clean and comfortable. Another bonus was the hotel bar, which offered an array of food choices which was a welcomed convenience after a long day of sightseeing. Overall, the hotel provided a pleasant stay with excellent hospitality. The friendly staff really made a difference, and I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a welcoming base from which to explore the surrounding area."

Trivelles Rochester

10/10 Excellent

"Great room , amazing value Lovely staff on check-in"

Oyster Fleet Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Booked online at short notice. I was happy with my stay-I’d certainly do it again. Whilst no oil painting from the outside, inside is a different kettle of fish. Reception was speedily done, and welcoming. Room sparsely but practically furnished with everything fully functional. Very generous supply of tea/coffee. Bathroom and towels very acceptable, as was the nice touch of Scottish Soap consumables. The bed linen and duvet were immaculate and the bed itself very well suited to sleep, not springy or saggy. Bar was cosy and lively. The restaurant was serene/calm…very nicely laid out with pristine table cloths and table lamps of a decently small but well lit size. You could date a date here, or your wife, or either. The waiting staff.. absolutely lovely.. (thanks T). I ordered a steak which came exactly as ordered with very nice home made chips. Felt the meal and wine was very acceptable indeed. For a cost effective business stay, without frills and tassels, but with good food and bed, it sure as hell gets my recommendation."
