Rochester The Vines Park Hotels

"The ladies on the reception were wonderful. Pleasant, courteous, funny and kind. Yeah the ablutions were wicked clean, the room was exactly what i needed. Wi-Fi is good. But those two birds on the front desk. They need a bonus! Well done guys A*"

"The room has been updated since my last visit - but for the money the hotel takes some beating. Half way between Rochester and Chatham with free parking - nice bar too !"

"This could be a very good property with some work. The listing includes parking. This is misleading as it is on street parking. This area is permit holders only. You can park for 2 hours Mondays to Saturdays 8-6. If you check in at 3pm like we did you have to move your car at 5pm. Parking was quite limited and therefore a walk to the apartment. When we arrived at 3pm the apartment was 12c. We clicked the thermostat by the bathroom. When we returned at 6pm the apartment was 14c. The radiators never worked or heated. The bathroom floor appeared warm. By the time we left the next day it had reached 17c. Thankfully it wasn’t cold outside so this wasn’t terrible but the heating definitely needs attention. We were 5 people as per booking and correspondence with the host. The 5th person had to use the sofa bed but only a sheet was provided. No duvet. We used thin blanket off the bed but she was cold particularly due to the heating issues. Bathroom sink leaks when used from the u bend. Creates large pool on floor which has been going for a while as there was damage to the flooring. Mold on wall behind sink as a result. The property has great potential but needs attention. "

"The owner phoned not long after we checked in to make sure we had got into the property okay and to see if we had any queries. I appreciated the contact and he had also left fruit, as well as bottled water, spreads and cheese in the fridge. The apartment is comfortable with a great bathroom and good kitchen facilities. It is just over a twenty minute walk to Rochester high street. Although it states it is a two bedroom apartment the second bedroom is not available to anyone renting the apartment which doesn’t detract from it being a very good place to stay whilst exploring the area. "

"We are in our 70’s and found the road the property is on to be a little busy and rather noisy from about 7am.Also quite a steep climb from the centre of Rochester. Otherwise very convenient for the train station and all of Rochester’s attractions."

"Much bigger than I thought the apartment would be which was a complete win. Perfectly clean and well furnished, with everything you need to stay comfortably. Excellent location. Highly recommend. "
