This hotel is really a B&B, so don't expect a chain hotel's vibe or amenities. That said, I would recommend this a budget option.
The rooms are small but clean and the beds were comfortable. You will have to walk up a couple flights of stairs as there is no elevator. We did not use the continental breakfast on offer. The owners kept us supplied with tea and coffee for the kettle in the room. The two gentlemen were very nice and accommodating, and allowed us to store our luggage prior to check-in.
While the area initially appears sketchy, it is actually a commercial/residential neighborhood in a very convenient location. The Strood rail station is a block away (trains into London), and there is an Aldi about a 5 minutes walk and a shopping center (M&S, Poundland, Starbucks) about 10 minutes away. Then you can walk across the beautiful bridge to the Rochester Castle, the High Street (LOTS of shops and restaurants) and the Cathedral in 10 more minutes.
This hotel is a good *budget* option to use as a home base for the Rochester/Chatham area.
