Very nice hotel with an excellent position in the town. Good combination of new and traditional decor. Nice room but the bathroom was a little “cosy” but adequate. The breakfast was very tasty but as everything was table served it was a little slower than weer used too. Definitely use again.

Good value in a great location
A comfortable clean hotel in great location for visiting Canterbury. We certainly stay there again as it was good value for money, breakfast was excellent with a really good selection of food. Easy walking distance of all the main attractions and the cathedral only two minute walk away.

Location, location, location!
The location is PERFECT! We were right in the middle of everything surrounded by restaurants, pubs and shopping. The cathedral was less than a 10 minute walk away. Our room was a large size considering we were in Europe. I can't think of any better place to stay while visiting Canterbury.

Happy overnight stay
We stayed overnight as the work Christmas party was in Canterbury and it meant we didn't have to drive. Hotel staff were extremely friendly and the breakfast delicious. The bar was very nice and i can recommend the home made shortbread biscuits.
