Lovely old hotel near the station and centre of Canterbury. There are more comfortable places to stay, remember to duck your head in the shower. But that’s why it is so unique. Will definitely stay next time.

Really beautiful property, well appointed bathrooms, beautifully decorated rooms, very very comfortable. Delicious breakfasts, nice bar. Right across the street from the main drag of Canterbury. Half a block from train and bus. I had a car, and it cost me nearly £100 for the 4 days I had to park my car--it's a shame guests can't park for free or at least at a reduced rate. It's my only complaint.

Friendly staff and good location for getting around Canterbury. Spent money on a superior room but wasn’t worth it. Compared to price point on other hotels I have stayed room was average and a bit dated for the money spent. Unless you’re going to spend money on most expensive room I would just go with standard double. It’s safe, clean and has a nice bar. If your in Canterbury then it’s a good choice But it’s not the boutique hotel I was expecting and would not spend that amount of money to stay there again.

Comfortable stay in a great location
Loved this hotel. When we arrived we weren't happy with the room we were given so we mentioned it to the Receptionist and there was no issue with moving us to another room which was a lot better and in a much better location in the hotel. The room was comfortable although a little noisy as it was above the beer garden so when the windows were open it was difficult to sleep and as it was so hot you had to have the windows open. A top sheet on the bed under the quilt would have been helpful as it was too hot to have the quilt on alone. The main criticism we had was with the breakfast. It was extremely disorganised - we could choose a time to come down but when we arrived a table was not set for us. We were given a menu which had continental breakfast and cooked breakfasts on - we weren't aware that the continental breakfast was at the side and you could help yourself as no-one mentioned it straight away. There was a lack of certain items - milk bottle was empty, no glasses for juices and no dessert spoons. We had to ask for a dessert spoon and was told they were washing them up so we were given one teaspoon each for eating our cereal and stirring our hot drinks which was a bit rubbish. Surely a hotel like this can afford to buy some dessert spoons. When the hot breakfast arrived it was of a very high standard. The restaurant staff were doing their best but we felt that it could have been a bit more organised. Dirty plates left on tables for far too long.

Wonderful Staff, Fun Decor & Cost Atmosphere
Right from the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted with a friendly welcome and efficient service on check-in, this stayed the theme throughout our stay. The hotel is beautifully decorated - fun, plush and decadent - and has a cosy atmosphere. We had a relaxing glass of wine in the bar after dining out at Cafe Des Amis across the road (highly recommend). The hotel is surrounded by a handful of diverse and highly-rated eateries. Eggs were cooked to runny perfection in the morning and the staff were so on the ball and welcoming. We'll see you again on our next visit Falstaff!
