I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the room was spacious and newly furnished, the noise from the pavement and road made it hard to rest peacefully. The hotel layout caused confusion, and it took a while to find the correct room number. The service was very welcoming and friendly, making up for some of the room inconveniences.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. While the room was small and accessed through a noisy pub, the furnishings were cozy and comfortable. Unfortunately, ongoing renovations dampened the overall experience. The service was a bit hit or miss, with efforts to accommodate us, yet struggles with cleanliness and demand during breakfast. On the bright side, the location was ideal for exploring Canterbury easily on foot. Dining options varied from enjoyable to disappointing, and the facilities were decent.
