Top Howletts Wild Animal Park Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were lovely and welcoming, and the room was clean on arrival. The hotel was also nice and quiet, which helped us get a good night’s sleep, although we found the bed a little uncomfortable. Unfortunately, the breakfast was disappointing, with very limited options and extremely poor gluten-free choices for my coeliac child. There was no gluten-free bread, biscuits, or muffins available for example . Despite booking breakfast for 9:00 am at check-in, we still had to wait around 10 minutes for a table each morning , which made the booking system seem pointless. Housekeeping could also be improved, as the bedding and pillows often looked rushed and untidy after the room had been serviced. Overall, the friendly staff were the highlight of our stay, but the breakfast and housekeeping standards let the experience down."

Canterbury Hotel

Canterbury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I stayed overnight in this amazing hotel in Canterbury with my family. We never expected that this was such an huge apartment with plenty of space. My kids enjoyed playing inside. All the rooms including bedroom, living, kitchen and toilets were neat and clean. Kitchen with essentials made it easy for us to make some breakfast, tea, coffee. Great place to stay with parking near the town centre. There is also bar and breakfast - but we haven’t used it. Finally, the staffs were friendly and helpful. I have stayed in many hotels/apartments but this one made it memorable and worth staying as they showed me around the hotel- rooms and briefed about the facilities. It was fantastic."

ABode Canterbury

ABode Canterbury

4/10 Poor

"Great location, disappointing stay (Room 129) The hotel is in a fantastic location right on the High Street and looks lovely from the outside. The bar area is nice, and the staff were friendly and welcoming on arrival. However, the experience quickly became underwhelming. The hotel feels tired throughout, stairs and carpets need refurbishing, and the lift is very small and dated. While it’s an older building, it lacks upkeep. We stayed in Room 129, which was bland and lacked character, with plain décor. The carpets needed cleaning, especially in corners. The bathroom was small and a bit dingy. The bed was extremely soft and uncomfortable, with an uneven feel. The TV was mounted crooked, and the curtains didn’t block out light properly. The net curtain looked grey and unclean. Breakfast was the biggest disappointment. Aside from self-service coffee and cereal, everything (even toast) had to be ordered, leading to delays and a frustrating experience, one of the worst hotel breakfasts I’ve had. Overall, while the staff were pleasant and the location is excellent, the hotel feels worn and didn’t meet expectations. Unfortunately, I wouldn’t return."

Greyfriars Lodge

Greyfriars Lodge

8/10 Good

"I stayed overnight at Greyfriars Lodge during the recent hot weather. There were no fans or air conditioning in the room, so I don't think that I would recommend staying here over summer. I kept the bedroom window open for the fresh air, but this meant that the road noise from the street was louder. The continental breakfast was available from 8-9am, but as the food was not set up in advance, it is advisable to arrive around 8.15 rather than 8am."

The Bat and Ball

The Bat and Ball

10/10 Excellent

"The rooms were very modern, spacious and relaxing. The staff were all pleasant and helpful. There was an ease being here, nothing to complicated. Which is what you want after a hectic day. The area was also peaceful and quiet and if you wanted to go the the city centre only a 10 minute walk. Breakfast was classic continental, some people would want cooked breakfast, however I was happy to have yogurt, fruit, cereal, toast and morning bakery goods. The only improvement i say is maybe the t.v's need updating, to chromecast. Excellent accommodation that felt like home, without no hassle."
