This Falstaff hotel was a fantastic choice for us to be able to get the most out of our overnight stay so we could enjoy Canterbury. It was a great location after a long journey to get there the hotel was on the doorstep of the train station. Also allowed us to leave our luggage while we did our exploring of Canterbury. Thanks to all the staff. Fantastic breakfast too.
