Guest Ratings & Reviews
The hotel offers convenient access to the city centre and is within walking distance of the main town area. The twin beds in the room were comfortable, but the bathroom could use some improvement. The service was great, especially with prompt room service and attentive housekeeping. The dining experience exceeded expectations with very good quality products, but the lack of variety in the menu was a drawback. The facilities were adequate, but the price could be considered high for the value received.
The hotel is ideally located just outside the city wall, making it convenient to explore Canterbury by foot. The rooms are spacious and offer good storage for clothes, but the bathroom could be improved. The service is prompt and attentive, with efficient room service and housekeeping. The dining experience is pleasant, with very good quality products, but additional breakfast options would enhance the experience. The facilities are well-maintained, providing a comfortable stay at a good value for money.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with its great location close to the Canterbury town centre and Cathedral. The rooms were cozy and had spacious storage for clothes, but the bathroom could use a little improvement. The service was excellent, with attentive room service and housekeeping. The dining experience offered very good quality products but lacked variety. Overall, a decent value for money option with some room for enhancement.
