February 2025While it's not cheap, for our first time travelling with an infant, it was an amazing experience. Our room was upgraded, giving us plenty of room for nappy changes and nap time. Baby slept for 8 hours straight, so must have been comfortable in the cot provided by the hotel! Staff were friendly and diligent, double checking the bill to make sure we weren't overcharged. As a bonus, the brasserie is very good (we had dinner and breakfast there) with excellent service. Fantastic location in the center of town and right next to a supermarket for any forgotten essentials.

January 2025Lovely hotel perfectly situated right in the heart of Canterbury. Got upgraded for free to the most enviable room, lovely spacious room with everything you need. Nice bar and restaurant on site, and priced pretty well considering the location.

February 2025Visited for dinner and drinks, so no review of rooms. Service was exceptional, both restaurant and bar. Food was lovely, particularly enjoyed the rocket salad, smoked ham hock and croquettes. We ordered a few small plates to share and this was a great way to try lots of flavours. Great cocktail selection, but also able to put together drinks not listed on the menu if the ingredients are available. Wonderful bar area with stunning fireplace made for cosy post dinner drinks.

February 2025Was nice but room was small, to be fair we booked late and so didn’t have a massive choice of rooms. So possibly not a reflection on all rooms. Breakfast was good. Parking is first come first served and unfortunately we missed out so spent a further £15 on parking elsewhere further away too.

February 2025Staff are very attentive and were great. The downstairs areas are lovely but the rooms need updating. Location is perfect for central Canterbury. Parking fills quickly so don’t expect a parking space.
