    Request a room away from the lift for a quieter experience, as some rooms can be noisy.

    clean room
    friendly service

    great access to parks and local attractions for weekend explorers

    I really appreciated how clean and comfortable my room was during my stay. The smooth check-in process made everything easy as a solo traveler, allowing me to quickly head out and explore nearby landmarks like Rochester Castle, just about 2.5 km away, and enjoy a lovely stroll at the picturesque Fort Amherst, which is only around 1.5 km from the hotel. however, the breakfast hours could be more accommodating for early risers.

    comfortable bed
    quality amenities
    convenient location
    dated exterior
    noise issues

    Decent-sized room with plenty of storage, comfortable bed, and good-quality soap and shampoo products. Convenient proximity to the Glassbox theatre made it a nice spot for quick access to events.

    The exterior leaves much to be desired—it's a dated pale pink that doesn't scream 'welcome. ' The shower's water pressure isn’t ideal, and the drainage could use improvement. We had to navigate some noise issues during our stay, including unexplained knocking sounds at night, and the breakfast area felt a bit chaotic with limited options and a long wait for made-to-order items. The lobby cleanliness was a concern with dog mess found multiple times during our stay, though it was addressed promptly.

    friendly staff
    good breakfast
    worn carpet
    dusty corners
    limited menu

    The King Charles Hotel delivered a solid experience during my stay. The room offered ample space and clean linens, with good attention to functionality. I appreciated the warm atmosphere, and the staff were very approachable and helpful. Breakfast stood out, featuring fresh and tasty options that made mornings enjoyable. some areas need a little TLC. The carpet appeared worn in spots, and I noticed dust in some corners, which detracted from the overall cleanliness. The bathroom decor also felt outdated and could use a refresh. While the dining options were good, the menu lacked variety, which could be improved. Despite these concerns, the value for the price was commendable. I would consider returning, especially for the breakfast and friendly service but hope to see some updates.

    lovely garden
    artistic atmosphere
    tasty food
    slow service

    I enjoyed my stay at Charles in Gillingham. The room featured a lovely view of the garden, creating a serene atmosphere. The communal areas felt artistic with the fish tank and cacti. the service during meals was a bit sluggish, but the overall experience was positive.

    The location is convenient with a golf course nearby. One downside was the cleanliness. the mugs in our room weren't very clean. Friendly staff made our stay enjoyable. Breakfast was a nice perk with quick service.

    dirty mugs

    We had a fantastic stay, celebrating our friend's baby shower! The lifts were conveniently located next to the reception, making it easy to navigate. The staff were really accommodating and friendly. If you're looking for a spot for memorable events, this place is ideal.

    One downside was the cleanliness in our room. the mugs for tea and coffee weren't very clean.

    easy access to parks and local attractions made our stay enjoyable

    The staff were super friendly and the room was comfortable with all the necessary amenities, which made it easy to relax before heading out to explore the nearby Great Lines Heritage Park, just under half a kilometer away, where I enjoyed a lovely walk. also, being so close to the Royal Engineers Museum was a treat for learning about local history and culture. As a solo traveler, I appreciated the peaceful outdoor areas with beautiful water features and ponds that offered a nice spot to unwind after my city strolls.

    We recently stayed for two nights and enjoyed the freshly refurbished bathroom and the delicious cooked-to-order breakfast. The only downside was the small shower. Would definitely return!

    local produce meals

    It was just a fitting option for a weekend escape in Gillingham with decent value for money. The restaurant used local produce, making meals enjoyable. Consider arriving after check-in times to avoid waiting.

    cozy bed
    garden area
    early breakfast hours

    Had a lovely stay with lots of coffee in the room and a cozy bed that made me feel right at home. The garden area is perfect for lounging, and the leisure room offers a great spot to unwind. Only downside was the early breakfast hours which didn’t quite fit our schedule, but overall a fantastic experience! 😊
