Freindly Hotel

On arrival the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. He gave me a map of the area also a list of suggested resturants for dinner and offered to book if I dicided to use any. The hotel is inside the city walls so is within walking distance of the sights and the fact it has free parking is brilliant it also looks like a large villa. The room I had was large with an equally large shower room with an excellent shower (plenty of hot water) and was very comfortable.Toiletries in the shower room shower gel and shampoo along with a soap bar. Breakfast was a choice of fruit juices, cereals, tea and coffee, fruit,toast and pastries and a choice of cooked items. Full english, eggs benedict,eggs florentine etc. The bar next to reception was nice though as it was mid week was empty. Only down side was a slight hum from what I can only presume was the fridge in the room but it wasnt that bothersome and I soon drifted into a wonderful sleep. Overall delightfull and I would go back again probably in the Summer though as there is outside seating. One thing is more choice of jams at breakfast.

Quiet hotel, close to city centre

Castle House is very handy for the railway station and despite being close to a busy roundabout our room was lovely and quiet. The bed was comfy with crisp white sheets. Good breakfast selection with fresh cooked breakfast served very promptly. City centre a short walk away partly along a stretch of city wall.

Only 5mins walk from Canterbury East station and 10mins walk to Cathedral. We stayed at the double room in the cottage, the decor is a bit old style but spacious and clean with free hot breakfast. Overall is a very pleasant stay, would recommend.

It was an excellent location being so close to the town. The staff were amazingly helpful and very kind. When I had a laptop problem they went out of their way to help. A great stay. We are coming back soon.

Disliked: Cleanliness
We were very disappointed that having pointed out to SImone on the reception desk that the room needed some cleaning attention with regards to nail clippings and a discarded cotton bud on the carpet she did not apologise but said she would get it sorted.However on our return at tea time no attention had been given to these areas.Not good enough.A deep clean moving all the furniture would not go amiss.We did otherwise enjoy our stay, breakfast was good and hotel conveniently placed.I would suggest that it might be a good idea to have some lights in the car park as it was very dark and this is the main entrance

Great location close to the city centre, plus onsite parking. Service was great, room was clean and comfortable. We had room number 10 which has a great view of the castle from the windows . The breakfast was good and plentiful. Has a nice garden to relax in. Canterbury being a university city, be prepared for some late night noise/revelry.

The advantages of this hotel are it’s close proximity to Canterbury town centre with its attractions and restaurants, excellent cooked breakfast and lovely hot showers. Sadly the decor could do with an update and, although our room overlooked a very busy roundabout, thankfully the secondary double glazing helped to muffle some of the noise (worth pointing out that we stayed in October so no need to open any windows).

Highly Recommend

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect for us . Staff were outstanding. They were really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The family room we stayed in was lovely and extremely comfortable. Great value for money and would definitely recommend. Will definitely be booking here again when we are next visiting Canterbury
