My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although in need of an update, were quiet and had a powerful shower. The bar was impressive, but the proximity of the toilet created some unpleasant smells. The location was convenient for exploring the city but lacked proper door closures. The dining experience had its ups and downs with good food quality but limited options and an unexpected extra charge. The service was friendly and accommodating with a touch of disorganization.

The hotel offers a mix of spacious and quieter rooms at the same price point. While the ground floor rooms facing the car park can be noisy, they are functional. The service was a bit lacking in energy and friendliness, but generally attentive. The location is great for exploring with various dining options nearby. The dining experience had its ups and downs, and the facilities were satisfactory.

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.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were spacious, but the tired decor and dampness were noticeable due to renovations. The service was friendly and helpful, although some room service practices could be improved. The location was central and ideal for exploring the town, yet noise from other guests was a drawback. The dining experience was enjoyable, but pricing for breakfast seemed inconsistent. Overall, a decent stay with room for improvement.
