Very clean, good staff, needs Fairtrade!
The hotel has a high standard of cleanliness. Staff are helpful and friendly. The room for 3 is pleasant but very cramped. The addition of Fairtrade tea, coffee, sugar would be brilliant - and Fairtrade chocolate and bananas too, please!

Pleasantly surprised at how nice the staff and service was. However, being charged £3 for parking as an additional cost seemed ridiculous. Also, the room was horrendously noisy from the road!..should have better soundproofing/double glazing.. tho i would say the breakfast was very nice

Business trip to Canterbury
One of the best Holiday Inn Express Hotels I've stayed in - the staff were amazing, extremely pleasant, efficient & spoke to every guest. A big shout out to the chef, I was very surprised at how good the food was - make sure you try the sweet potato & chickpea curry - delicious. I would highly recommend this place.

Great location, 10 minutes to Canterbury, very quiet, great staff - they couldn't do enough for us, greeted us like friends every morning. Would definitely book this place again if in the area - fabulous stay for 4 nights after a 30 hour flight from Australia.
