    I think some money needs to be spent updating the decor of the hotel and rooms. The room rate is inexpensive and hotel is in a good location but it is looking a bit worn. There was a crack in the top corner of room near the front window of our room and given the connection of the hotel with Charles Dickens, the hotel undersells itself. There was also loud music coming from the bar downstairs in same hotel complex.

    Rochester is great The Royal Victoria and Bull Hotel is not somewhere anyone should trust to stay. Where was the staff? Why was the gates locked? Why was there not a message on the gate or at reception? How is this hotel allowed to remain in relation to health and safetytt?

    Different places and things appeal to different people. OK.

    Different places and things appeal to different people. OK. But I'm more than happy to put in a word for Rochester, It was, until 1998 when "Medway" (population 250,000 was created from Rochester, Chatham, Strood, Gillingham and Rainham, all today more or less contiguous) a historic and important small City. Now Rochester is just a "Town", which seems frankly ludicrous. Population only 60,000 and they have problems. The High Street includes far too many Charity Shops, although also some beautiful and historic buildings. Too close to London. But Rochester also has the second oldest Cathedral in England, and still largely Norman Architecture rather than Canterbury's huge late Gothic. Rochester also boasts the tallest and best preserved Norman castle keep in both England and France. Then there are all the links with Charles Dickens and much else besides. And then the Chatham Historic Dockyard, worth a day's time of anyone interested in British history and only a few miles from Rochester. I note the 2021 Lonely Planet Great Britain (page 162) manages just over 2 column inches on Chatham Dockyard. And that's it. Not even a mention of Rochester or "Medway" in the index. That, in my book, is all you need to know about "Guide Books"!

    The historic High Street is a short walk from the train station. The pavements and road on the High Street can be uneven, with cobbles in places , which adds to the charm. Favorite places to eat-in are: The Quills (offering breakfast, lunch, dinner and cocktails), Padrino's Pizzeria (eat in & takeaway/delivery), Cathedral Pie (offering traditional pie and mash with parsley sauce/gravy, jellied eels), Pizza Express and there are also tapas, Japanese, fish and chips and a variety of cafes and bars. The Cathedral, Castle and local museums are always interesting, with local events going on.

    We used Rochester as a meeting point for family members who had not been able to meet together for many, many years. Rochester had a lovely historical atmosphere and we were easily able to find places to eat together and to amble around the sites including the cathedral, castle and museums and visitor centre which had a great display of the flying boats built here in the past. Pity more is not made of that, on the original site which is now a housing estate. (Perhaps the road names should have been those of the boats???) Charles Dickens, a local name, was of secondary interest to our group.

    I am biased because I was born in Rochester, and lived there as a child. So for me, visiting is like going home. However, I did want to mention that the town is even better now than I remembered. It has more restaurants now, coffee shops, the train is more centrally located. It definitely feels like a tourist high street now, with mostly shops appealing to visitors rather than locals. However, at least while we were there, we did not find it too busy, or any of the attractions crowded. The Castle and Cathedral are both worth a visit. And the high street offers enough experiences for a few days. There are shops, and a museum, as well as delicious bakeries and antique stores. Even with my history with the town, I would highly recommend this location for a weekend trip.

    Very friendly, clean and well managed,always willing to assist and always very person centred. Would definitely recommend anyone to stay but book early as very popular. The hotel is very central in the main Rochester high street As myself and my friend have difficulty walking the staff helped us with all our need as there is no lift so accommodated us in a room on the lowest level possible which was very much appreciated and enabled us to enjoy our stay 😀

    Beautiful property, with a fantastic garden. Very quiet property and area, but well placed next to Rochester and the Medway. Fantastic breakfast in my room and hosts very welcoming. Garden with the barn was fantastic too. Room was huge and included a small annex room and large bathroom. No bath, but shower had good pressure and was nice and hot. If you are staying in Kent, I would recommend this hotel.

    What a wonderful experience! Truly unique piece of British Maritime history, with fascinating story. Our room enjoyed serene views across the Medway down to Rochester. Breakfast was simple but just what was needed. Inner Dowsing Lightvessel is managed by a lovely couple who could not have been more friendly and helpful. Thank you!

    This is a cut price hotel, that is quirky and comfortable. It is excellently located at the top of Rochester High Street near the Medway Bridge and in front of the Castle. We love it . If you want a good breakfast then try the Nucleus opposite, but book in advance.

    Lovely location and easy to find. I prefer the anonymity of a hotel however my stay for just the 1 night was very relaxed and it felt to me like home from home, only better. The double ensuite room is spacious and very comfortable with everything I needed for my stay.

    Breakfast not provided, no hotel restaurant. It is a lovely location on Rochester highstreet however there is very limited parking for guests. The staff were exceedingly happy to help and very friendly. I've stayed here a couple of times and probably would again.

    the only downside as far as we felt was no breakfast served at the hotel. there were in fact many choices of places to eat close by, but having the fag of dressing and going out to find it was a bit of a fag.
