10/10 Excellent
"Location central. Short walk to the Canterbury Cathedral , easy access to walk on the Wall close by that surrounds the old town.. Lots of shops and places to eat. The walk to the hotel was longer than anticipated but was much more pleasant on the way back to train station back to London being more relaxed knowing the route. Highly recommend visiting Canterbury. Recommend staying two days to see Canterbury."

10/10 Excellent
"Great location - few minutes walk to Marlowe Theatre and short walk into city centre through a delightful park adjacent to the river. Convenient car park directly across road. Lots of other pubs and eateries nearby. We had a twin room overlooking the river weir, all you needed for a comfortable 2 night stay. Tea/coffee making facilities in the room with gorgeous home-made cookies as treats. Shampoo/conditioner, hand wash and hand cream supplied too. Beds were comfortable and a couple of pillows were supplied on each bed. Breakfast was great with plenty of choices, such as full cooked breakfast, eggs Benedict and pancakes. Evening meal was tasty and good value too. Cocktails were fantastic. The staff were excellent; customer care was above and beyond. Friendly and helpful from the moment we checked in. They really did seem to care that we enjoyed our stay and that we had all we needed. Would definitely recommend and return if we are ever in the area again."

10/10 Excellent
"Good easy-to-find location, reasonably handy for city centre. Big comfortable room. Plenty of parking. Slightly over-priced continental breakfast (but aren't they always?) - but they bring you your tea / coffee rather than you having to do your own out of machines, which is always a big plus for me. Had a quick evening meal here one night - nothing special but OK, decent value and nicely delivered. Staff were always really helpful - occasionally slightly disorgansied/chaotic but no problem. Nice hotel, good experience. Thanks."
