Nice central hotel, mind room charges

Stayed for a couple of nights a few days before Christmas, so we could shop and experience the Christmas vibe of Canterbury. Hotel is in the heart of the town which is great.Staff were friendly and welcoming. My only disappointment was that they took a card on arrival, this was in case I charged anything to the room, £100 was taken, nothing was charged to the room. I called two weeks later to ask why this wasn’t returned, they said it could take up to a month. Exactly 1 month later the £100 was put back into my account! Mmmmmmm We will definitely stay again, will likely say that I don’t have a card.

Poor

Had to move rooms as the toilet didn't work, staff weren't overly fussed , moved to the second room to find black mould on the walls and around the window. Breakfast was overly expensive for poor quality and slow service.

Very nice hotel with an excellent position in the town. Good combination of new and traditional decor. Nice room but the bathroom was a little “cosy” but adequate. The breakfast was very tasty but as everything was table served it was a little slower than weer used too. Definitely use again.

The hotel was good vaue for money, centrally placed and we had a quiet room at the back. Good that the window opened. Staff were helpful and mailed some property left in the room in error. A good experience and we would not hesitate to return and to recomment to others.

Pleasant hotel, rooms are pretty standard, nothing different from other hotels. It was clean and had a decent amount of space. The bar was nice and busy, but not too packed. It’s a great location, but I’d steer clear of driving here as the car park is tiny and was packed, so we had a lot of trouble trying to find somewhere that wasn’t an excessive price to park overnight.
