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.

I have to go to Canterbury every month and this hotel ticks all the boxes for me. Staff shout outs to the one lady who served my special needs daughter and I dinner (should have taken a name) and another shout out to her for breakfast along with her colleague (again I should have taken a name). I'll be back for sure.
