The hotel is centrally located so perfect to discover Canterbury by foot. The staff are nice and the barman made us a mean Negroni. We highly recommend staying there if you want to visit Canterbury, and make the most if its restaurants and pubs in the evening.

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The hotel is modern with a lift, and the rooms have air conditioning, which isn't a given in this part of England. The location is perfect, but charging £25 for parking is quite steep. Unfortunately, there's no sign at the hotel entrance indicating that the main entrance is in the pedestrian zone and the car park is a street away. The car park is quite narrow, and there's no signage.
