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.

Pleasant hotel on walking distance from city centre. Free parking. The announced renovation was hardly observed, so did not impact our stay at all.

Situated in a convenient location close to shopping. The room we stayed in was very spacious, had good facilities including a comfortable bed and quite clean, although the view wasnt great and the WiFi signal was awful. Nicely decorated in the foyer and reception areas but the dining area for breakfast in the morning was quite dated and dark. The breakfast overall was alright with some options but not very substantial and the bar food was a bit expensive. Would stay again but suggest going elsewhere for food.

Carpark needs a good clean up which would give a great look and not too expensive. This should at least be a weekly occurrence. Our room was a newly refurbished room which was very good and two goon nights sleep were had. Breakfast was excellent

Nice stay

We stayed in a refurbished deluxe suite. The room was very nice, although the air conditioning wasn’t that efficient on the hottest day of the year so far also very hard pillows. The bar had recently re opened, we had dinner in there the first night, it was ok but only one member of staff serving meant slow service. We had breakfast - this was ok but not amazing. Very convenient walk into the city centre ( about 10 mins )
