It was OK. Served a purpose, if the room appeared on "Four in a bed" then the amount of dust on the guest's finger would have warranted a free stay. But in reality it's not a major problem. I wouldn't rave about it, but if you need a bed for the night it does the job.
Very nice establishment but breakfast was continental provided in your room in a basket the night before. I did state Gluten free breakfast but nothing for me other than fruit. Not very many parking spaces. First come first served basis. Pleasant gentleman on desk who did as much as he good to make sure you were happy with room.
We stayed there for two days. Mr Basu is a really nice man and host. He is very kind and supportive. The rooms are really great, clean and comfortable. The service was good. The location is close to station.
Stayed for 1 night, nice room, en suite good but towels on the small side and I'm a size 10 ! needs a mat outside the shower. Bed comfortable enough, tea/coffee making facilities good. No hairdryer supplied but you can't have everything. Great price and would definitely stay there again. Thankyou.
Nice unpretencious hotel with nice staff. Breakfast was put in room 9pm the night before. Plenty there and very passable, just not the sort of breakfast for someone who craves for a bacon toastie in the morning. The road outside got a bit busy in the morning, hence only 4 stars, but you could always close the window and block the sound out.
We spent a night at the RBS Hotel and found it to be excellent value for money. The room was lovely - very clean and well presented. The bathroom was immaculate and the buffet style breakfast made a good start to the day. We had a lovely welcome from a smiling hotelier, who was very helpful with regard parking. If there was a negative point, it could be the location on a fairly busy road, but that was more than compensated by the price and facilities.
Stayed one night midweek for a local family wedding. A really lovely, clean and fresh hotel. Very comfortable beds, tea/coffee facilities in each room. Everything is brand new. We had the 2 double room suite which was perfect. Nice helpful and friendly staff. Would definitely stay again if we were ever going that way again.
Very accommodating and reasonably priced hotel stay. The staff couldn’t have been any nicer and apart from some our room needing a touch of paint we absolutely loved our stay and would happily go again. Great continental breakfast available in our room, powerful hot shower and comfy beds.
Set in a residential area, this unpretentious hotel is 14 minutes' walk from Strood train station and a 16-minute walk from the 11th-century Rochester Castle.
