The Royal Victoria & Bull Hotel, hotel in Rochester

Ideally located in the center of Rochester, The Royal Victoria & Bull Hotel offers accommodations with city view. Free private parking are available.

make no mistake this is a budget hotel and looks like it in some areas. But it is on the High Street and it is friendly and clean. And it is half price of any other hotel in the area. This time we paid a little more for a suite and we had a king sized bed, a big room and even bigger ensuite bathroom a lovely free standing antique bath.

RBS Hotel, hotel in Rochester

For an inexpensive, last-minute stay near the train station, it was fine. Comfortable enough, clean enough, but nothing special.

North Downs Barn, hotel in Rochester

North Downs Barn is a small bed and breakfast in Rochester, 25 mi from London. Free WiFi is available throughout the property and free private parking is available on site.

Welcoming and gracious hostess Alice showed me to a huge, lovely room with a great view. The room was spotless, as was the bathroom. I enjoyed a cup of tea in front of a wood burner, and had a good night's sleep. Breakfast was very yummy and kept me going all day. I am hoping to go back for a weekend, for pleasure not business though!! Highly recommend North Downs Barn.

Quantock Loft Studio 3, hotel in Rochester

Quantock Loft Studio 3 is located in Rochester, just 2.1 miles from Chatham Train Station and 2.5 miles from Historic Chatham Dockyard.

The apartment was wonderful, snug, warm and cosy. The location was good, a short walk from town. I could see the castle and cathedral from the back window, especially lovely as the Christmas Market was open and beautifully lit up. The kitchen contained everything necessary for self-sufficiency, the bed and sofa were very comfortable, the television a good size and the general decor chic and tasteful.

Inner Dowsing Lightship, hotel in Rochester

A recently renovated boat, Inner Dowsing Lightship offers accommodation in Rochester. Both free Wifi and parking on-site are available at the boat free of charge.

Going to bed and waking up to the tide going in and out was magical. The bedroom was comfy and cosy, the bathroom fittings and extras felt like luxury. The hosts are really friendly but also give you space to relax. Breakfast was top notch with fresh fruit, croissants, choice of cereals and a choice of four hot options. I would definitely stay again and have recommended it to friends and family.

    We stayed for the Sweeps Festival, a celebration of traditional dance and music which sadly was spoilt a little by weather on one day, but if the indoor events don’t appeal there is a variety of bars and places to eat and alternative activities are a visit to a thousand year old castle and the 2nd oldest Cathedral in the UK, Guildhall Museum or a short drive away there is Chatham Historical Dockyard, and Royal Engineers museum.

    Castle and cathedral are first class.

    Castle and cathedral are first class. Eastgate House very interesting. Good Italian restaurant and plenty of other choices. Everywhere within easy walking distance. Whole High Street noisy on Saturday night. Guildhall Museum, Restoration House and Huguenot Museum shut for our visit. Tourist Information Office shut down

    Rochester is very charming.

    Rochester is very charming. The High Street is very lovely with lots of quality second hand shops, if this is your thing. I was absolutely mesmerized by the castle. Well worth climbing the stairs all to the top, especially on a sunny day, the view is amazing. (check for opening times). The cathedral is really beautiful, do go inside if you are there. You can just go in and explore the cathedral or do a guided tour (also check for opening times). The town has a very rich history. You could also choose do do a walking trail along the river. The Royal Crown Pub has a lot of character and the food was really tasty.

    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 staff were all lovely. The place is immaculately clean. It’s advertised as near Rochester train station but it’s actually on the Strood side of the bridge. If you stay here, please don’t bother paying for breakfast. You pay to go to a weird basement area which looks like a place murderers hide bodies to boil the kettle to make horrible tea and coffee from little packets and then have a box of cereal, toast or pain au chocolat from Asda.

    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.

    Room was well-appointed and clean as usual. No noise from the pub downstairs or outside due to good soundproofing on the windows. Very well situated for the railway station and Rochester High Street. The pub serves very good and reasonably priced food and drink. Full daily housekeeping service was provided, unlike some hotels which no longer offer this using Covid as an excuse.

    As I was there to dance with my Morris side at the Rochester Sweeps Festival, the fact that the event begins right outside the hotel was ideal. Another benefit was the fact that I could park my car at a safe location within the environs of the hotel throughout our stay. The bed was enormous compared to other places we stay at for folk festivals during the year.

    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.

    One of the cheapest hotels in the Rochester/Strood area and the location worked well for why I was visiting. Bed and bathroom were nice enough and it was nice to have a kettle and tea/coffee provided in the room.

    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.

    N/A. By careful parking it is possible to get two cars parked safely. One small and one medium sized and this is important in Rochester, which has long been a parking nightmare.
