Lovely

Lovely hotel. Staff were very attentive. Breakfast was lovely. My only objection was that the website didn't state that there is a £20 per dog per night charge. I only found out after I had booked.

A great find—an easy walk to Canterbury Cathedral

A friendly staff, comfortable room, affordable prices and excellent location make this a great place for a good night’s sleep in Canterbury. We could see the Cathedral tower out of our window.

Free parking and convenient to city

Comfortable stay in newly renovated/built room. Ten minute walk to the city with plenty of free parking. Room was similar to a Premier Inn but was brand new. Breakfast was not included so we didn’t try it, but there is a Waitrose and a. Tesco Extra about a ten minute walk away. Only downside was that there is currently major construction going on at the hotel so 8:30am on the dot we were deafened by loud noise.

The room was ok, aware hotel being refurbished- there was a odour in the corridors ? From kitchens or building works. Due to the people and creaking floors from the room above meant I had a disturbed night Staff were friendly and walking access to the city centre and hospital was great. Free parking a great benefit
