Not great
Extremely basic and run down. Service was ok on check inn but went to bar and no one there to serve us so we left.
The one bedrooms TV didn’t work due to aerial cable damaged, mattresses very hard and uncomfortable.

A little gem
Maybe the decor was a little tired in places but you couldn't fault the service and value for money this hotel offers. The hotel offered basic food but was all served quickly and very hot. A 15 min walk into Canterbury, definitely a good choice for a budget high quality stay.

Value for money and convenient situation
Could do with a bit of a refresh…I imagine that might make cleaning a bit harder. Mattress comfortable, but bottom sheet much too small and kept coming untucked and rucking up underneath. The room was cold. I don’t mind, as I like a cool room to sleep but others might and I overheard a complaint about that.´Staff very good, especially Rosario, always a lovely welcome & very helpful!

The room was lovely especially the bathroom. It was exactly what I wanted after a long day of travelling. The staff where nice and easy going as well as being very informative and helpful when asking questions about the area I was in. The food was good for the price I paid and very varied. The only thing I would day is that I was not sure about the carpet in my room in terms of like if I had dirty shoes I didn't really want to leave them outside but didn't want then in the room as it would get the carpet dirty otherwise all good.

The staff here really are wonderful and nothing is too much trouble. I needed a room for a very private call and not only did they allow me use a room but asked did I want to move as it was noisy outside. The waiting staff and everyone are so warm and genuinely friendly. I stay in 5 star hotels for work and put this hotel up there in terms of decor in rooms, cleanliness and customer service
