Hotel is lovely. The cosy doubke is small. Also, he aware that the hotel car park is only for patrons, but you are charged £12 a day extra, which is a bit of a con and should he included in the stay. So factor that into your fees

Fantastic decor and all the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Really nice atmosphere in the cocktail bar over the weekend, could have done with an additional staff member as cocktails can take a while to make and if you just want a beer or glass of wine, then its a little wait, however lovely surroundings to wait in. Everything you may like to do in Canterbury is within easy walking distance and some lovely restaurants right on your doorstep. Parking is an additional cost, I hadn't really noticed this when booking, also the fact that if you go out in the car, you may not have a space to come back to even though you have paid for 24hours. We just managed to get the last space in the little back car park on the second evening, but it's a very tight entrance which some vehicles may struggle to use. Would definitely recommend the hotel to others, it was just unfortunate we needed to use the car for work so there felt a little jeopardy as to whether we would get parked when we got back.

weekend away

Nice hotel have stayed before but in the main building. The room we stayed in is overdue for a re vamp as the wallpaper was peeling off and badly marked and the bath panel needed replacing both of which I advised to reception.

Amazing hotel in a great location

Amazing hotel in a great location. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the room was lovely - comfortable bed, nice little extras and an outdoor seating area. Happy hour was a bonus and everything was in short walking distance (including the train station). Highly recommended, we'll definitely be back.

Disappointing

I have stayed in over 20 hotels this year and the most expensive booking turned out to be the worse experience. The check in experience was slow. We did a pre-check-in and then had to wait 20 minutes to be physically checked in when the person arrived… the general manager was not able to do it. For Bar staff could not muster up a greeting between them, no hello… no be with you in a minute… Guests were offered complimentary cheese and biscuits in the bar… we asked for them as they were not offered by the bar tender. Waited 5 minutes and he said they didn’t have any. Guess what, a few minutes after the offer had ended we say cheeses and biscuits coming out. Mind blowing!!! Terrible service so we left after one drink. However, the breakfast staff were very friendly.
