Fantastic location right on Canterbury High Street, just a short walk from the Cathedral, shopping and restaurants. We had an 'Enviable' room; spacious; large, comfortable bed; right on the front of the hotel. Bit noisy at night. Difficulty finding the car park (didn't notice the special postcode on the website) which is small and was full from early afternoon (we stayed four nights) so every day had to park a 15 minute walk from the hotel at £20 for 24 hours. Overall a good choice.

Lovely staff, friendly and helpful. Good decor, good parking, truly excellent location. Reasonable value. Breakfast was disappointing. Croissants hard and overcooked and no real butter. Good tea but chewy toast. Limited tapas menu which was expensive. The only other thing available was steak for 2 for £50; which we had, but it was not brilliant and could have done with a serrated knife.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was well appointed and convenient for walking the city center. Parking was a bit of an issue, but not too far to walk to pay parking. Would recommend.

I liked the hotel. It opens onto the main street in Canterbury so is an easy walk to shops and restaurants. Lovely size room and bathroom and very quiet, apart from a few other guests, especially the one who snored.On the day I arrived it was chucking it down with rain so it would have been nice to get into the hotel from the car park more quickly than walking all round the outside. Lots of staff around who are very attentive.

We were allocated a room near to the kitchen and had noise of the fans, asked to be moved to a quiet room, which did happen but then we were at the top of the hotel and although it was a little quieter we hadthe lift next to us and it was a shower over the bath which as we are in our 80s we found very very difficult.

The Stay was really good. When we arrived on the check in day as we arrived late we we’re allowed to park our car in the staff car park overnight only downside about hotel is that the car park is very small. There is another car park not associated with the hotel about 6-7 minute walk away.
