Lovely and convenient in easy reach of the centre of Canterbury. Peaceful and easy to get to sleep. Even though they are renovating the restaurant they produced an excellent breakfast.

We stayed here for a night on our way out to Dover for a cruise. This hotel was a great stop after our long travel day. The staff were so kind and welcoming. They were happy to assist with any needs. The facility does not have air conditioning like many places in England but they provided a fan in the room and brought ice to anyone who needed it due to the heatwave. The room was so cute and comfortable and the location was in easy walking distance from all the sights we wanted to see while we’re were there. We would definitely recommend this hotel. Only other thing to mention is it’s hard to see the sign for in from the road so we missed the turn the first time we drove by but were able to turn around and find it. :)

The price paid for a non air-conditioned room was criminal. There were building works in progress which hopefully will improve the ambience for guests in the future.

Good location with a 15/20 minute walk into town, quite an old fashioned hotel and a little tired, bed duvet smelt a little musty as though it hadn’t been washed for a while, although the inner sheets did smell clean.

A beautiful hotel & a perfect 2 night stay in a lovely room. Great Reception & Bar Staff. We stayed as attending 2 Kent CCC matches just further along the New Dover Road. Free parking throughout the stay which was ideal, easy walk to both the City itself & the cricket. Would totally recommend this hotel & look forward to staying again next summer. A credit to the Best Western "portfolio" !

We were very lucky to have a beautiful room with separate lounge and large bathroom with separate bath and shower. These were newly decorated. Some areas of the hotel have yet to be redecorated and there is no restaurant. There is a bar but no one seems to be in charge although everyone was friendly. Very much in the process of becoming a good hotel. Free parking. Quite.

Staff were very helpful but the rooms were very hot. Our room was on the top floor in the roof. Extremely hot with no air, only had a small fan, windows didn’t open very far, I understand our stay was in the heatwave but the heat in the room was unbearable, couldn’t sleep, there wasn’t any ventilation at all. We did ask to be moved to another room but there wasn’t any available, we was offered a bucket of ice to put in front of the fan, but didn’t make any difference. Overall not a very good experience, would not return.

We stayed here a year ago, in the older (red) part of the hotel, which was lovely, so we returned for an anniversary date night. Our stay this time was decidedly average. Our room was in the refurbished (blue) section, the room size and decor was lovely but the aircon was not working and the room was southfacing, so was uncomfortably warm and stuffy. On reporting this to reception, we were told that the new rooms don't have aircon, only heating! We were offered ice and water, but with no fridge or way to keep it cool in the 35 degree heatwave, this was pointless. There are signs about being 'environmentally friendly' everywhere, but the single use wrapped soaps instead of pump handwash belie that target. The Sunday breakfast finishes at 10am, we arrived at 9.40 to be told that breakfast is removed at 10 so we need to ensure we are done. We were finished by 10 anyway (fast eaters), but there is no Sunday lie-in at this hotel if you want to eat... Our stay last year was lovely, drinks on the terrace and a walk into town. If you are staying, I recommend ensuring you have a red room in the summer and making sure breakfast is included!!

We had one of the refurbished rooms which we were thankful for, they have half renovated the hotel so far. We were very grateful for the fan they’d put in the room as it was hot. The room itself was nice and there was plenty of room. The curtains however did not cover the windows which did make the room lighter at night.
