Myself, husband and 2.5 yr old boy are still staying here but I felt compelled to write. After having to cancel our holiday abroad due to my being quite poorly, we felt we needed to get out of London and have a couple of days away somewhere. We looked at places not far from London and found Canterbury was an... More

Firstly, the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful, which is always good! The room was comfortable and the hotel was kind enough to provide us with a mini-fridge as requested. There is a very pretty garden and a lovely swimming pool (which was great considering the reasonable price we paid for this hotel). In addition, the breakfast... More

Came here with my family for my partner's birthday treat. We stayed in the family room, which had adequate space and facilities. The hotel staff was polite and helpful and nothing was too much trouble and this included room service. The girls loved the room since the staff had put balloons for the birthday boy. The hotel was chosen because... More

I chose this hotel because of its free parking (not easy to find in Canterbury). It is also not too far from the city centre. Staff were friendly (one of them maybe just a bit too solicitous!) and the room was comfortable. All in all a pleasant stay for four days while at a conference.

Spent one night here on 21st April and found staff very friendly and helpful. The full English breakfast was beautifully cooked-nothing greasy or soggy and lots of choice of choice of fruits, cereals and yogurts. The added bonus was the indoor swimming pool-great for waking you up after a night out!! We also had complimentary paper on Sunday outside our... More

I stayed for only one night early in July 2010 and I was most impressed with the facilities and staff. I was travelling alone on a motor cycle at the beginning of a 3 month tour of the UK. The proprietor offered to put my bike in his nice secure garage. I was very impressed with the comfort level of... More
