About this place King Charles Hotel in Kent

The King Charles Hotel is a large mainstream hotel on Brompton Road in Gillingham, in the Medway towns of Kent. Despite older claims, it is not a gay hotel; it is listed as gay-friendly. It's a practical base for the Historic Dockyard Chatham, Rochester's cathedral and castle, and the Medway riverside, and it often takes coach groups, weddings and functions. The Medway area has a very small LGBTQ+ scene. For gay bars, most people head into London, about 45 minutes away by train from Gillingham or Chatham stations. Google reviewers give it 3.9 from about 1,450 reviews, so it suits budget, practical stays more than a weekend treat.

2nd Time staying here as it's located close to my parents. No complaints about this hotel whatsoever. Staff are great. Breakfast is really good and the bar and restaurant on site is a great advantage. Yes it's a little bit tired in places but what do you expect. It's certainly better value than a Premier Inn / Travelodge and I'd always recommend it to anyone looking for a hotel in the area.

Basic but comfortable stay, great friendly, helpful staff, nice food, clean. Could do with Aircon, but we managed may BH with the fan. Bar could do with being open earlier than 1700, otherwise all good .

Fantastic hotel, granted it doesn't look the best from the outside but once you get inside it feels very welcoming. The room I had was exceptional. Service was was top notch. Definitely recommend this hotel on value for money.
