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.

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.

Poor customer service.
This looks like a nice place to stay but we booked a double room through Hotels.com and when we checked in and went to our room we found we had been down graded to a cosy room. I certainly wouldn’t pay for this, a tiny room looking out to a fire escape. I wouldn’t mind if they had explained at checkin but we were left to discover the down grade when we got to the room. A very disappointing stay.

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.
