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 )

Stayed for 3 nights. It was a fabulous hotel to stay in. The staff were all really friendly and helpful. The room was big and luxurious, recently re-furnished. It was in the heart of Cantebury everything in walking distance to the Cathedral and town centre. Would definitely stay again and would highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel smart enough but odd bits need attention. Gardens rather overgrown. Toilet door didn’t shut properly. Found sound carried rather through bedroom walls! All staff were perfect though.

We stayed for two nights whilst visiting Canterbury and were very glad we had chosen this hotel. It was undergoing some refurbishment whilst we were there but this didn’t affect us in any way. We had an Executive room which appeared to have been recently refurbished - it was large, clean and very comfortable. There were masses of electricity sockets, USB sockets next to the bed, a large safe, a kettle, an iron and ironing board. Breakfast was very good with a wide choice of cold food together with a menu of hot food cooked to order - my husband had the kippers which were excellent! There was a reasonably sized car park where we felt very happy to leave our car for the duration of our stay. The city centre is about a 15 minutes walk away and, as well as the sights, there are lots of good restaurants there. We would definitely stay there if we came to Canterbury again and would highly recommend it.
