Vicky, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

It's a small old kind of hotel, let's start with the negatives - small parking inside the hotel - rooms are a bit oldish - Aircon leaking in my room Now the positives - very affordable - it's clean - breakfast is very decent if not great for a little hotel - swimming pool is such a nice bonus - staff are all nice and welcoming (which is rare nowadays) If I have to come back to Canterbury, I would probably rebook this hotel.

10/10 Excellent

The staff here are fantastic. They go above and beyond to help their customers. The breakfast was excellent and there was plenty of it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here.
Peter, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Absolutely satisfied with the service along with the location is pretty near from city centre
JOYESH, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

The hotel has a small carpark accommodating up to about 10 cars.It is conveniently located being just a short 15 minute walk from the centre of Canterbury. We stayed in room 14 on the second floor which was lovely and big (with a huge bathroom) but rather noisy, as it looked out over the main road, although secondary glazing helped surpress most of the road noise. The room was comfortable and clean with a good tv. Breakfast was self service with plenty of food beit a full English or continental and the staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel appears to be in the process of being refurbished as it was being painted externally (July '25) and clad in scaffold to the rear. Overall, the hotel provides decent accommodation to stay for a trip to Canterbury and I would use it again.

Cosy hotel with good breakfast

Little cosy hotel in a quiet place. Staff are extremely nice and helpful, breakfast is so good.
Man Ying Goretti, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

A lovely hotel

Great stay, lovely staff, and a building full of character! Breakfast and the pool were truly awesome, too. The only downside was some furniture/equipment needing a bit of love (door knob broken on the bedside table, screw on the window loose, hook behind the door in the changing rooms of the pool broken etc), plus a bit of noise from the road but really nothing major at all, it was a lovely stay overall

8/10 Good

Friendly and comfortable

Staff very friendly and helpful especially Radu. Location excellent, short walk from town etc. our room didn’t have a hairdryer or bath robes as advertised, but I’m sure if we had asked we could have had this rectified. Most beds were very creaky!! Fantastic breakfast. Although we didn’t use the pool, we were told it was lovely from others. Comfortable room and free parking, we would stay again.
Val, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent
