The hotel had modern decorated rooms but the view of the kitchens and bins was dreadful and noisy, especially late at night. Despite having disabled facilities, the room felt cramped for four adults. The location is good for touring around Canterbury but can be a bit complicated to reach without a car. The dining options were basic and not ideal for people with food intolerances, yet the breakfast provided a good start to the day.

The rooms, although modern, had a dreadful view of the kitchens and bins, leading to noise at late hours. Not ideal for four adults.
Service
5.0
Staff hardly communicated and seemed distant, except when taking food orders and sometimes waiting on tables. Housekeeping was good, and they were knowledgeable, but my arrival experience was disappointing, with a 10-minute wait at reception.

The location is okay if you have a car; otherwise, it can be challenging to reach Canterbury. Good for touring around the area but not the best for those without private transportation.

The dining options were basic, lacking choices for people with food intolerances. However, the breakfast was well-organized and provided a good nutritional start to the day.

The hotel was very comfortable and had everything we needed for a great stay. The rooms were clean and comfortable for our group of four, and having a heater in the room was a nice touch. However, I missed having fried eggs for breakfast.

The hotel turned out to be brilliant, located off a motorway between Whitstable and Margate, close to Canterbury. Despite being on a busy road, it didn't affect our stay. The staff were nice and the location was clean and comfy.

The dining experience was fab and great value for money. It was a real morale lifter, although I would have liked some cheese for the croissants.

The hotel had undergone a makeover making the rooms spacious, spotless, and ergonomically designed, providing a very nice and comfortable stay. However, the location, though clean and comfortable with nice staff, was next to a busy road, affecting the overall experience. The dining experience was surprisingly good with lots of quality options, but the location was not ideal for those wanting to explore the beautiful Canterbury area fully.

The hotel is conveniently located right off the busy A2, offering functional and well-decorated rooms with comfortable bedding. While the proximity to the road may result in some traffic noise, the cozy beds make up for it. Service was exceptional, especially accommodating gluten-free and mobility needs. The hotel's location is not ideal for a peaceful evening due to its proximity to the A2, but it's practical for an overnight stop or exploring Canterbury. The dining options were satisfying with a good variety available. Overall, a comfortable stay with attentive service.
