Stayed one night in a superior room in main hotel. Was very spacious, but freezing cold. Radiator in room was only Luke warm, unfortunately did affect our enjoyment of stay. Breakfast was good, but again the room was freezing, people sitting in coats and hats! It was a freezing day, but they need to turn the heating up. Great location only a few minutes walk into Canterbury.

Lovely old building, good toiletries in bathroom. Vegan breakfast was good, decaf coffee stood out as excellent. Happy hour for guests between 6-7 which was handy before a night out, 2 for 1 on certain drinks. Downside, room too hot so had to open window in night, then heard glass bins getting emptied at 3.40am and others slightly later.

Good breakfast, although I would have preferred fried egg instead of scrambled eggs but that's trivial. Comfortable bed in my room and a decent shower area. Staff are pleasant and polite. If I need to stay in Canterbury, my first option will be The Falstaff Hotel again.

Everything about falstaff is great, however on this particular stay, there was no TV signal which meant a very quiet evening in followed by a cold shower as there was no hot water the next day. Management apologised and offered me a cappuccino the next morning!!!!!!
