The hotel is a bit dated but currently undergoing renovation so we upgraded to one of their finished rooms which was really nice, I think if they continue the great look and feel for the rest of the hotel it's going to look really nice. Hotel felt safe and within walking distance to Canterbury town centre only 10 minutes away. Breakfast was good but dining room requires updating so be good to see once all the work has been carried out. Keep up the good work.

The staff were wonderful, really polite and helpful even offering to help get bags up. There was renovations going on so the dining options were limited but the pizzas they were making were lovely. Convenient for getting into town and the rooms were comfortable and cosy.
