Great central location

The staff were great and friendly. They were helpful with recommendations and the location was amazing. We found free parking a 15 minute walk away and left the car there for 3 days while we explored the town

Staff was very pleasant but we were disappointed with our stay. Our room and that part of the hotel had a strong smell of damp. Also, we had cold showers both mornings as the hot water wasn't working. They told us it was fixed after the first day but we didn't have any hot water the next day either.

Family birthday celebration

Made very welcome. Room not as clean as expected. Long brown hairs found on bathroom floor in several places. Lotion container on sink empty, although soap one OK. Lots of carpet fluff behind room door- maybe hoover with door closed? Otherwise an enjoyable stay in Canterbury.

Perfect little spot for a night away with work

I stay here regularly and it's always a pleasure - easy check in, clean well appointed room and a really fabulous shakshuka. It's also in the perfect place as you can easily fall into anywhere nearby for a fab pint of real ale and delicious dinner.

We didn’t have telly for 4 nights. Kept reporting it. The plug had frayed wires. But just wasn’t reported. We had one meal of a trio of steak, couldn’t cut let alone eat it. Very disappointed, didn’t eat in hotel again. Staff were polite and hotel was in good location.

Tired hotel room

Arrived slightly before check in time and unfortunately was not made welcome and felt that I was silly even asking if it was possible to check in slightly early it was only a question. But all staff after that were very polite and friendly especially the Bar staff very good at their job helpful and welcoming. Rooms very tiered blinds in need of a dust and general everything looked very tied. Real issue was shower it’s in a bath and the bath is shaped so impossible to really get under shower so you have to lean in not the best.
