Room was clean and bed very comfortable. Had to wait a while for breakfast but there was a lovely young man who couldn’t do enough for you. Shame I didn’t get his name but he was excellent. We had a lovely few days.

Very nice hotel. I stay there quite regularly during the university term. Staff are very friendly and the area is of course the nicest part of Canterbury. Highly recommend the hotel.

I was under the impression this was an Enviable double room as per your images. But judging from the photos this is nothing like an enviable double room. I’ve even taken a recording to show how much smaller it is
Stefan

The stay was great, bedding comfortable, breakfast tasty. What was a really nice touch is the person at reception remembering my name. I'm not sure if that's part of the role, or my pink cat hoodie made me difficult to forget.
The only negative is that the TV didn't have chromecast built in, so I couldn't watch youtube/netflix/prime/etc

Very nice hotel with an excellent position in the town. Good combination of new and traditional decor. Nice room but the bathroom was a little “cosy” but adequate. The breakfast was very tasty but as everything was table served it was a little slower than weer used too. Definitely use again.

When we arrived at the hotel, we were greeted with a smile and a lovely welcome. We could not fault the gentleman who was hospitable and sorted out any problem that came our way.
We have stayed in the hotel previously and it won’t be the last.
Thank you very much to the staff and the wonderful service you provide.

Lovely as usual. Having stayed in an “enviable” room type before, it was noticeable this time having dropped to “comfortable”. Still high standards but a little tired in the bathroom, a small entrance (slightly awkward with bags) and less frills. Still lovely and I thoroughly enjoyed my stay (and complimentary birthday treat). I would always opt for an enviable room when funds allow but all rooms are lovely.
Thank you for a great stay! I will be back again soon

A comfortable clean hotel in great location for visiting Canterbury. We certainly stay there again as it was good value for money, breakfast was excellent with a really good selection of food. Easy walking distance of all the main attractions and the cathedral only two minute walk away.
