Comfortable superior double room in a part of the hotel separate to the main building. Good breakfast. Well located to explore all Canterbury’s key attractions, restaurants, shops & theatre. Didn’t need to use the car once we parked in the car park &£12 for 24 hours via the ring go app.

Firstly we appreciated the location, a 10 minutes stroll from Canterbury West Station and once booked in even less time wandering into the city centre. The Reception staff were welcoming and our room No21 was at the front, a very comfortable junior suite with the addition of an L shaped sofa and lots of comfy cushions. The bathroom was a bath with shower overhead which suited us as we enjoy both, the water instantly hot and quick, it took no time at all to have a soak. Being at the front meant hearing 'lifes' noises, traffic, voices etc , the hotel is located on a busy road entering the city, its expected and we didn't find it disturbing. Yes we heard the bin lorry but bins need emptying and early morning collection's we guess are best in a busy city with old roads that need to keep traffic moving. There is no restaurant ( only for breakfast) but there are plenty nearby. However we were encouraged to sit in the bar prior to going out with their 241 cocktail wine or beer happy hour. All in all a very enjoyable stay so thank you, we will be certainly stay again.

Really lovely hotel - very friendly welcome and help with the parking app. Beautiful reception and bar area, with a cosy seating area for enjoying a cuppa or the buy one get one free in happy hour. A very happy blend of old building with modern facilities. Our room (no 18) was very comfortable and had views out over the fairy-light lit patio area - pretty at night. Lovely clean and smart bathroom. Breakfast was very nice (continental and/or English) set within a beautiful dining room. All very convenient too for walking around such a beautiful and interesting city.

Lovely breakfast. We were put in their accessible ground floor room, but unfortunately it was quite noisy due to the outside door being slammed day and night. Staff were lovely, and the cocktails were fabulous. Great location near to the city centre.
