Hotels near Rochester Airport - RCS, Rochester

Gillingham is a good centre for visiting Chatham (for the Dockyards), Rochester and Maidstone. The town itself has a few eateries, good supermarkets, a pedestrianised precinct and some shops. Good train links to London and the South-East. Good bus links to the surrounding area. The town itself does not boast many facilities for tourists (eg. museums etc) but is a good base.

Having lived in Medway towns throughout childhood and dad, uncles and cousins worked at Chatham Dockyard, it was on my bucket list. It didn’t disappoint. Well worth the visit. The guides are brilliant. You need a whole day to get round it all and don’t forget to book Call the Midwife tour in advance. Excellent for wheelchair users.

Rochester is an easy friendly town. There are many places to eat and a great variety of foods. Many places for a quick coffee. The shops are full of different items and art works that you would not see in a main town. Plenty of places to visit, Cathedral, Castle, Fort, river walks and near to Chatham Maritime.

Good location of this hotel for Chatham Dockyard where we visited the "Call the Midwife" tour and had a great time. Worth the 300 mile trip down form Yorkshire but did not see Gillingham itself.

Plenty to do in the area, National Trust, English Heritage and various private places around. unfortunately Bus transport was restricted. The hotel is on a dual carriageway which means you can only go one way out of the site and up to the next roundabout to go in the opposite direction.

I loved all the bars, cafes, restaurants, hair and beauty salons and charity shops. It's also a great place for young people, there's plenty lively bars, nightclub, etc. There's an amazing Cathedral and Castle there too. It's a real nice place to visit because it's full of history
