Guest Ratings & Reviews
This hotel sits in a quaint area near a lovely pub, making it a charming location. The rooms are top-notch with modern amenities but the dining options could be improved. The service is attentive and makes you feel welcome. The facilities are well-kept and offer a nice range of amenities.
The hotel is nestled in a pretty area, with character and very close to the city centre, making it convenient for travelers to dine in at the nearby pub. The rooms are equipped with all the necessities, very clean, and offer comfortable beds. However, the dining experience, although the seasoned fries are world-famous, was a bit basic. A favorable aspect is the welcoming service and the cozy atmosphere, but the pricing could be more aligned with the overall value provided.
The hotel is a hidden gem with a welcoming atmosphere in a pretty area offering great value for money. The rooms are beautifully designed with comfortable beds and original features. The service is exceptional, making you feel right at home. The location is superb, just a stone's throw away from everything Canterbury has to offer. The dining experience is a delight with flavorful Mexican dishes. However, the facilities are somewhat basic.
