Friendly and comfortable

Staff very friendly and helpful especially Radu. Location excellent, short walk from town etc. our room didn’t have a hairdryer or bath robes as advertised, but I’m sure if we had asked we could have had this rectified. Most beds were very creaky!! Fantastic breakfast. Although we didn’t use the pool, we were told it was lovely from others. Comfortable room and free parking, we would stay again.

8/10 Very good

We booked this property because we were traveling from the US with children and it had a pool. I was surprised there was no lift and we were on the 3rd floor, which was a bit difficult to navigate the winding staircase with our large luggage. The amenities were not exactly as described- there was no shampoo or conditioner, just a single pump that we were told could be used for hand soap, body soap, and shampoo. The bar was a small room which was staffed by the same person running the front desk, so you may need to wait a bit to get a drink there. It is more of a bed and breakfast feel than a hotel feel to be honest. The staff were all very kind and helpful. During breakfast, they had some hot food, cereals, and coffee and tea. The staff brought fresh toast to the table. The building is beautiful and the kids really enjoyed the indoor heated pool each evening. Overall it was a nice experience but not exactly what we expected going into it.

A lovely hotel

Great stay, lovely staff, and a building full of character! Breakfast and the pool were truly awesome, too. The only downside was some furniture/equipment needing a bit of love (door knob broken on the bedside table, screw on the window loose, hook behind the door in the changing rooms of the pool broken etc), plus a bit of noise from the road but really nothing major at all, it was a lovely stay overall

4/10 Fair

Very outdated, curtains were broken not hanging on the rails, letting in light during the night. The swimming pool looks very unrealistic very small, to what the photos show. TV is cheap. The room is quiet which is the only upside. The photographer needs a raise, he’s managed to paint a different picture the real life

20 min walk to Canterbury centre

Our room was clean, the staff were friendly. No parking space when we arrived. No gluten free breakfast cereal or toast. Decor was plain and a bit shabby. No lift. Pool was bit cold.

Away for work

This is an old building, which is walkable into town centre where there are lots of places to eat. The car park for the venue is free but small (about 10 parking places), not suitable for large vehicles (vans, etc). My room was on the first floor, really large room and large ensuite. The decor was tired, bed was comfortable, desk to work at, but no chair for desk. Wifi was average. Included breakfast was a choice of hot and cold, starts at 0730.

Spontaneous booking

Traveling back from France. It was a spontaneous decision due to traffic issues. The hotel staff who greeted us named Sam was lovely. Very welcoming and friendly A** for customer services. Nice hotel needs updating in areas but overall ok. I had a good night's sleep and breakfast was decent as well. Will probably stay here again.
