property was not warm and cosy as advertised, very few staff members around, you need to chase to get any service, restaurant food very ordinary and overly expensive for what is was. Canterbury city centre not what it was just a few years back.

Everything lovely apart from the noise of the warm air heating in the room. Property would benefit from having radiators.
Could have done with leaflets in the room about the history of the hotel.

Fantastic location right on Canterbury High Street, just a short walk from the Cathedral, shopping and restaurants. We had an 'Enviable' room; spacious; large, comfortable bed; right on the front of the hotel. Bit noisy at night. Difficulty finding the car park (didn't notice the special postcode on the website) which is small and was full from early afternoon (we stayed four nights) so every day had to park a 15 minute walk from the hotel at £20 for 24 hours. Overall a good choice.

Lovely staff, friendly and helpful. Good decor, good parking, truly excellent location. Reasonable value.
Breakfast was disappointing. Croissants hard and overcooked and no real butter. Good tea but chewy toast.
Limited tapas menu which was expensive. The only other thing available was steak for 2 for £50; which we had, but it was not brilliant and could have done with a serrated knife.

We enjoyed our stay. The room was well appointed and convenient for walking the city center. Parking was a bit of an issue, but not too far to walk to pay parking. Would recommend.

Hotel itself was good but close to a noisy student pub which impacted sleep!
