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.

Good hotel within 15 min walk to Cathedral. The area of Wincheap was very run down without great disabled access (ie lack of dropped curbs). Also hotel doesn’t have a lift. Nice pool but a shame the water temp was so low! Room was great and very clean.

The hotel is a Georgian/Victorian building that suffered theft and damage while closed during covid. A huge amount of work has brought it up to a good standard. The staff are great, provide excellent service and the breakfast is good with plenty of choice. The hot dishes are fresh and the scrambled eggs excellent. There is a swimming pool which we didn't get to use due to lack of time. Our only issue was noise between rooms which was not speech or tv so much as footsteps which sounded like someone was walking in our room! It didn't keep us from sleeping but was a bit disconcerting at first. If not for this I would have rated excellent. Having heard what happened and seen how much work has gone into getting the hotel back into operation, I am sure this too will be sorted out.

Exceptional hotel
An exceptional, family run hotel perfectly situated for exploring Canterbury on foot. A very warm welcome with tips and advice on the City. Superb breakfast included. On site parking. I couldn’t fault anything.

My room was on the ground floor. It was unsafe to open the window at night which was facing the carpark. However it was necessary to open the window at night as there was no ventilation in the room. The room was dated as well.
