The Premier Inn Chatham/Gillingham (Victory Pier) hotel is in a development of modern apartment buildings near Gillingham Marina and, while the neighbourhood is pleasant enough, there is not a lot to do in the immediate vicinity around the hotel. Gillingham town centre and Gillingham railway station are a 20-minute walk from the hotel and you can walk to the Chatham Historic Dockyard in half an hour.

Although the location is best suited if you’re driving, there is a local bus stop nearby where you can catch buses to the Dockside Outlet Centre and Chatham Historic Dockyard as well as Chatham and Gillingham town centres.

Premier Inn is the largest hotel chain in the United Kingdom and it usually scores very high on customer surveys when compared to other UK hotel chains. It operates at the budget end of the market and provides a reasonably high standard of accommodation for the price, and is comparable to ibis and Travelodge hotels.
