Our stay at The Falstaff was amazing. The hotel, location, parking and room were outstanding. I also have to give kudos to the staff with a special shout out to Sandra. Sandra made sure everything was perfect and made such an extra effort to help us through some tricky problems.

We had one night in Canterbury, we spent Sunday shopping along the High Street and then had a meal out at the local Weatherspoon's (at the end of the hotel car park). The hotel was beautifully clean. We had a good nights sleep and woke to have an amazing full British. All we could ask for... Car parking is £15.00 for the day-night which is done on the smartphone and nothing to do with the hotel so you must be Techie Savvy to park. Overall and excellent experience and exceptionally close to the high Street for shopping.

Nice hotel rooms are a bit small and dark. Breakfast fairly good. You have to pay to use their car park £15.30 a night. They won’t let you check in early so arrive at 2.45 or later.

Lovely hotel, very clean and friendly staff, and Happy Hour every night! Ideally situated at the top of the town, near Canterbury West Station. Has secondary glazing, so if you have a room looking out the front (it is on a busy road) you can pull this across to shut out the road noise. Would recommend, and if visiting Canterbury again, will definitely stay again!

A very old building but clean and the staff were very helpful. I had a fall while staying (not in the hotel) and Sandra on reception was very concerned and assisted with ice for my bruises and also fetched my bags down on our departure date. Would go there again but request a slightly bigger room. Ours was a little small for two adults trying to get ready to go out!

The rooms are in historic buildings adjacent to the main hotel so they can be stuffy as expected but there was a fan provided which helped. Thankfully temperatures were only as high as the mid 20s when we stayed, but there is no AC so bear that in mind if that's something you're used to having. The main building itself is beautiful to look at, the staff were friendly and the breakfast was excellent . They also have happy hour for residents between 6 and 7 with free cheese! That was a lovely touch; the cocktails weren't bad at all either. It's close to Cafe de Soleil which I recommend you go to if you do stay here, I think you'll get a free dessert there if you book a table there through the hotel. Overall, we had a great stay - the location was amazing and the room was comfortable.
