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.

The staff went above and beyond, they were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hotel exterior is stunning and the room was exactly what we needed. An easy 15 minute walk to the city center. We will definitely come back next time we go to Canterbury!

The hotel is a bit dated but currently undergoing renovation so we upgraded to one of their finished rooms which was really nice, I think if they continue the great look and feel for the rest of the hotel it's going to look really nice. Hotel felt safe and within walking distance to Canterbury town centre only 10 minutes away. Breakfast was good but dining room requires updating so be good to see once all the work has been carried out. Keep up the good work.
