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!

Great location!
Great hotel and ideal stay to visit The Marlowe Theatre. However, there was no air conditioning which meant for a restless night.

The hotel on arrival looked good. Greeted by a friendly member of staff and checked in. Lovely lounge and bar passed on the way to the room. The room was well decorated, larger than we expected, big bed, very clean, tea and coffee facilities and bathroom very smart with nice toiletries.Housekeeping brilliant, keep room spotless throughout my stay. Was next to a very busy pub, so was noisy but that died down just after 11pm.It didn’t bother us. Wi-Fi was free but very intermittent. Breakfast staff friendly, lovely room with continental laid out. Hot menu looked good, however if the sausage was a Cumberland as stated it was bland and lacked spices, the scrambled eggs were heavy and dry. Several residents in the breakfast room in my hearing did ask for a fried egg but were told they didn’t do that! My another half was not impressed he loves a fried egg. Not sure why, chef can do a poached egg as I had on the second morning.Pancakes were lovely too! Also remember to take your card to the bar as I popped down for a drink and was told I couldn’t charge my drink to my room! Never had that happen in all my travels! Good hotel, just a few quirks!

Ideal for a visit to Canturbury
Excellent stay great breakfast, comfortable room with comfy bed and bathroom with bath. Has its own car park at rear. But the best is its location in the centre of Canturbury in easy walking distance of everything.

Disaster & disapointment .
We booked 2 night stay but the ground floor room we were given was a disaster . No hot water for showers until the morning we left . Ground floor room looked straight out onto busy road so sleepless nights . Security door was broken so open all night it was just like Faulty Towers , poached eggs were like golf balls & after sending them back came out the same , third time was lucky .Will not be going back anytime soon .
