The Falstaff Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"What a lovely, quirky hotel. Rooms were very small, but that didn’t bother us. Staff were great, breakfast was nice. All In all, we had a lovely stay thank you x"

The Bat and Ball

8/10 Good

"Nice and comfortable. Might be an idea to get another coffee machine in the breakfast room as there was a queue!"

Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"very nice house, quiet and clean. The staff is helpful and very friendly. A shower instead of the bathtub would have been perfect. I'd turn back there!"

The Evenhill

10/10 Excellent

"We were lucky as my wife and I were given an upgrade to a spacious Family Room during our 2 night stay. Room was clean and staff were very helpful. Breakfasts and dinners were well cooked and generous. My wife thought the home-made steak and kidney pie was exceptional. Great advice to use the Park & Ride. Location was quiet and tranquil with accommodation located in separate building to the rear of the pub. Only minor maintenance issue I spotted was cracked tiles behind the bathroom door. Otherwise, everything was fabulous!"

ABode Canterbury

8/10 Good

"Rooms are fine but could use a bit of freshening. Our bed was comfortable and the location was quiet. The continental breakfast was a huge disappointment. Several things were not available and what was served was just okay. The front desk staff are superior and they were very helpful with any questions we asked. The location makes this hotel a wonderful choice but don’t expect great food."

Canterbury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a really nice stay, slightly out of town but within easy walking distance. Would definitely recommend."

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"In the centre of Canterbury. Very quiet, helpful staff."

The Duke William

10/10 Excellent

"A last minute overnight stay at The Duke William turned out to be an exceptional choice. A very friendly welcome as soon as we arrived, then shown to our room which was clean, tidy and comfortable. The evening menu was interesting. Had the Folkestone Mackerel which was served with a variety of good quality tomatoes and samphire. Vegetable side dish was full of high quality veggies. Washed down with a bottle of Picpoul which was probably the nicest I have tried. Breakfast was again lovely with good quality ingredients, very good value! The village is very nice and the whole experience left me wanting to come back again. Great staff, and obviously a great chef too!"
