Premier Inn Chatham/Gillingham (Vic Pier)

Premier Inn Chatham/Gillingham (Vic Pier)

📍 Blake Ave, Gillingham
★★★ 8.5 (47 reviews)

"Arriving around 2.30pm, as a lone elderly woman traveller, I was made to wait till the computerised check in, as I sat and watched the receptionist check in all the male guests. When it was 3pm I was marched over to the computerised check in and was checked in by a receptionist, my room number printed out for everyone to see. Despite asking for quiet rooms (my son was staying in another room), I was given a room overlooking the busy road on the first floor, right next to a fire door that was opening and closing during the night! Thankfully I had brought some ear plugs, so did manage a couple of hours sleep. The room stank of wet sweaty socks with a hint of stale tobacco, the bathroom corners were collecting specimens for the next scientific biology experiment for the university I think. At breakfast we were "greeted" with a girl chewing gum, who took our room numbers, said "sit where you want" and then said we have no pancakes or muffins left, she also failed to say there isn't enough croissants or pain ou chocolat for all of you either, but you can have the last 3 bananas... There was still 45 minutes left till the end of breakfast service, not sure what the later breakfast arrivals had, hopefully they weren't too hungry! The hot breakfast option was genuinely nice and well cooked, well done breakfast chef! This hotel is genuinely only 2 star at the absolute most, the staff do not give a toss about service, a day at work is more like a friendly get together for them in the corner of the bar. As a past hotel general manager who had worked my way up from being junior front of house, I would sack the lot of them except the breakfast chef."

Nikoda Lodge

Nikoda Lodge

📍 143 Marlborough Road, Gillingham
★★★ 8.3 (3 reviews)

"When in Gillingham, (Kent) why stay in the usual Hotel 'Box' when there are options like the Nikoda Lodge in Gillingham, Kent, England . A pretty little guest house right across from a park, with a nicely renovated bathroom -to a high hotel standard. The owners are great, and are there for anything you need. (If not on site, remotely able to assist you through the webcam.) -This would be a fantastic option for those with longer stays, (work crews etc.) with a huge kitchen, and everything you need to have home cooked meals while on the road. As a matter of fact, 3 different sets of people can cook their meals at the same time! - It has a 7 burner stove with 3 ovens and a warming oven. Also with the usual kettle etc. there was a 4 slice toaster, a blender, an air fryer and cupboards and a shelf for each unit. I was super impressed. -For the smokers like me, there are two ground floor rooms that have outside doors right off the rooms leading out to the covered smoking area for our convenience. -I would Defiantly stay here again!"

"A family hotel, had a warm welcome and a family room for 5. The hotel has its own busstop with the same name as the hotel. Only the tv was small."

Premier Inn Gillingham Business Park

Premier Inn Gillingham Business Park

📍 Will Adams Way, Gillingham
★★★ 8.0 (45 reviews)

"As me and my wife do not eat pork, the option we had this time was not good especially the yoghurt and the orange juice was off, the staff even took it away. The orange juice had fermented smell and bitter. The breakfast was not worth it really, thinking otherwise for the next stay."

Nikoda Lodge ★★★
"Although the customer service is hard to contsct including the so called emergency number. After telling trip.com the owner finally picked up my calls. This is a Sherlock Holmes style game so that you can earn the super privilege to live inside. ON THE OPPOSITE OF THE DOOR BELL , THERE IS A SECRET BOX..... After being given a few wrong passwords and a few wrong secret box number, I could finally enter the Sherlock Holmes Manion and finally enter my room which has an ensuite toilet and bath room. The house and the room are excellent , protected by 24 hour cctv camera I would recommend this one especially if you like Sherlock Holmes."

King Charles Hotel ★★★
"Average hotel. Looks very run down entering the car park and around the outside. Ok inside. Rooms quite small and don’t have air conditioning, fan was provided but leaving the windows open at night meant I ended up with a number of bites. Also, the noise from the road nearby meant there was the regular noise of cars through out the night every few mins. Unlikely to stay again unfortunately. 😢"

Premier Inn Gillingham Business Park ★★★
"We stayed here as it is close to the family we were visiting. The staff were very helpful. Louise on reception was brilliant, moved our rooms so we were closer together. Couldn't have been more accommodating. Very quickly helped with the extras we needed too, more towels and an iron. Breakfast next door was very nice, help yourself buffet. We would recommend and we will stay here again"
