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.

Fabulous stay
Amazing hotel full of history. Gorgeous clean room and a bath to die for. Will definitely be back. The young lad on reception that looked after us was fantastic. He even came to find us when our room was ready early. A very old building full of character and squeaky floorboards but that just added to its charm.

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.
