The hotel is a mixed experience: the rooms had a slight dingy feel and smelled of smoke, needing some updating, although the furniture was lovely. The bed was comfortable, but the room size was a bit cramped. The service was exceptional, especially from Beks, who went above and beyond. The location was superb, centrally located in Canterbury. The dining experience had some ups and downs, with a limited menu but well-cooked meals. Overall, a pleasant stay with some room for improvement.

The rooms were a reasonable size, though a bit dated with a lingering smell of smoke. The service was friendly and professional, with a cozy and clean atmosphere.

I found the hotel to be a mixed bag. On the positive side, the location is wonderfully central and convenient, ideal for exploring all that Canterbury has to offer. However, the rooms were a bit cold and cramped, lacking space for comfort. The service was satisfactory, with some staff members showing great care and attention, but others could have been friendlier. The dining experience had some variety but was not suitable for those with lactose intolerance.

The hotel is comfortable for a long weekend stay, although there were some plumbing issues affecting the shower convenience. The service was attentive and directed us to free parking nearby. The location is excellent for exploring the town, but the lack of on-site parking might deter future visits. The dining experience offered a good continental range, albeit with some temperature issues with the food. Overall, a satisfactory stay with some minor drawbacks.
