Lovely hotel with friendly staff and comfy rooms
Julie, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Cozy in Canterbury
Great location and friendly, helpful staff. Rob on the reception desk was particularly helpful giving suggestions of where to eat and what to do. A rather quirky hotel spanning a number of different levels with a roof top walkway to some of the rooms. My room was small but adequate with a desk to work from. The bed was comfortable and the shower was one of the best I have experienced for a long time. Coffee making facilities were provided. I chose the buffet breakfast which, in my case, consisted of toast and porridge but there were other options available. The only downside was the total lack of parking but the hotel has an agreement with one of the nearby public car parks which was a short walk away. Great place to stay, I’d definitely go back there again.

This hotel is charming and the staff are pleasant, helpful and ready to meet your needs for local attractions, transportation and comfort. The breakfast is exceptional - fresh fruit salad a real winner!

Lovely city centre hotel, great staff and service. Very quirky, but charming 1860's building with wonky flooring and a maze of corridors. We found it interesting.

Great location, but noisy for the same reason
Great location. Noise was terrible - no double-glazing and a lot of people shouting outside throughout the night.

Great reception by Monica who made us feel most welcome. Hotel itself a little tired but characterful… staff had no uniform so not easy to identify. Room was via an outside walkway but quiet; so slept well.
