Location, location, location!

The location is PERFECT! We were right in the middle of everything surrounded by restaurants, pubs and shopping. The cathedral was less than a 10 minute walk away. Our room was a large size considering we were in Europe. I can't think of any better place to stay while visiting Canterbury.

A pleasant place to stay, but a little expensive, comparatively. Nonetheless, comfortable with pleasant staff. Very limited first-come parking at £36 for two nights seemed excessive so I used a find-a-parking-place web site to locate a parking space nearby for £11 for two nights instead.

Good value in a great location

A comfortable clean hotel in great location for visiting Canterbury. We certainly stay there again as it was good value for money, breakfast was excellent with a really good selection of food. Easy walking distance of all the main attractions and the cathedral only two minute walk away.

Poor

Neighbouring property playing extremely loud music until 3am, with loud machine noise internally for the rest of the night. Overlooking an area full of rubbish and looked like a dump! Shower broken with no hot water… not 4 star experience!

Great but dont have the breakfast

Lovely place comfortable room. Very Clean only thing that lets this place down is the breakfast. Was expecting breakfast to be a little more than just full english. There are no cereals, fruit available to help yourself instead they charge extra for it. Plus the tea and coffee wasnt very forth coming.

Room was agreeable with everything you would expect from a night in a hotel. Excellent location and was quiet. What let this stay down was the breakfast, which I paid to have included in my stay. Disappointed that the orange juice was more like cheap cartoon orange, which tasted watery and more like squash and not fresh orange juice, and at £3 a glass, I’d expect a little bit more. Also my pot of tea contained a long thick black hair (I’m white blonde,) which didn’t come out of the pot until my last pour. As you can imagine, this made me feel quite unpleasant. I pointed it out to the waitress who apologised but didn’t take it away or even offer to replenish my pot of tea. A separate waitress, as I left the restaurant recommended to mentioned it to reception upon checkout, which I did. I only got an apology and the receptionist advising she would be speaking to the kitchen staff as it’s their job to clean the dishes. Most high end hotels would at least offer to reimburse the breakfast or provide a discount on another stay. The receptionist just walked off. I’m not one to usually complain but felt this experience really dampened my impression of the overall stay, which is a great shame.
