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.

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.
Paul, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

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
Rufaro, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

The room was a decent size but there was a strange smell in the room, the bathroom was very small and hard to manoeuvre around. There was a lot of mould around the seals in the shower. The bed had a large dent in the mattress and clearly needs replaced. The walls of the room need cleaned, tv remote was filthy. I only stayed because it was a single over night stay otherwise I would have found alternative accommodation.

See you next time! 👍
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.
Matthew, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

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!!
Janet, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.

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.
David, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
James, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Me, my partner and my 6 month old daughter stayed in the hotel, the shower was blocked and we had to ask multiple times to get it sorted so that we could shower. The shower temperature wouldn't regulate so we ended up having to keep adjusting throughout the shower, when we asked if something could be done we were ignored and they just left the room. The room was very hot and the fan was broken so we couldn't keep cool.
Liam, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.

Rubbish
Rubbish...do not book this hotel.. there was no one on reception to let me check in... left on the end and booked another hotel.. seeking refund... Do not book!!!.
Azhar, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Simon, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

There was no hot water in the evening or in the morning for a shower, couldn’t find a member of staff to talk to, I was told there would be a full English breakfast available in the morning from 7am, myself and another guess was waiting around from 7.15 and again no member of staff to assist, all round very disappointing
Stephen, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quite a night
Very reasonably priced. Very central - near the train station. Staff couldnt do enough for us. The adjoining restaurant was lovely. Very posh and food good- especially as we were in a hurry. Shower/ loo very clean and swish. Single room warm and you could open the windo. THANK GOD! I hate the major chains who rely on aircon only as it never works all might long and it's noisy and you feel so stuffy in the morning. Brakfast was fine. I had no complaints and the staff did their upmost to accommodate my....awkward friends. Veil drawn on them, I'm afraid!
