Lovely few days away
A lovely hotel, room was fantastic, everything we needed, very clean, very spacious, we could of had our room made up every day but opted out, food was excellent, the only comment I'd give was that they need more staff at breakfast time, they were lovely, very helpful & friendly but seemed to be very stretched. Apart from that no complaints whatsoever. If we're ever that way again, will definitely stay there & also reccomend to our friends & family.

It was for our wedding anniversary, love Canterbury and was our first visit to the hotel. Beautiful place, shame we had scaffolding at the back of us, which we looked on to, really rattled and the plastic was flying around due to the high winds.

the staff make the most of our trip. Friendly, helpful, always welcoming and looking happy. Stay here if you are driving to Canterbury since this hotel offers free parking and it is not far to the cathedral by walking. Happy stay!

8/10 Very Good

Reasonable, convenient
Mostly a good stay. Lots of parking. The walk to the cathedral is about a mile. The room was clean and comfortably, but no fridge. The bar was deficient in its offerings: not a single English ale, no pale ale, no IPA. The worse event was that there was a false fire alarm at 10:30 pm, forcing all the guests to evacuate. Another guest made a statement I overheard that suggested the same thing had happened that morning. I cannot independently confirm this, but if was true, the hotel needs to address this issue.

Long walk into town and no mattress protector!
The hotel staff were very nice but as a hotel it’s not great. The biggest issue I had was there was no mattress protector on the bed which I was shocked by. Maybe I’m too fussy but I would expect every hotel to use mattress protectors. The restaurant was closed and breakfast wasn’t great. Orange juice was watered down and definitely not fresh. All in all not great value for money and quite a long walk into the town centre along a very busy main road.

A great location for walking into the centre of Canterbury. Hotel rooms are a basic and perhaps dated, but the new bar area is very nice. Restaurant closed for refurb so can’t comment on that, but with so many good non chain restaurants just 10 minute walk away it’s not an issue at all. Staff friendly and room quiet too.
