The property is well-situated for easy access to either the station or the centre of Canterbury

No parking available either on site or in the road as it is permit parking, however we parked on a residential street about 5 minutes walk away without issue. The rather excessively large and non-functional jacuzzi bath takes a large chunk of the room, tbh a shower half the size would have been perfect. This made for some tight spaces between bed and bedside and door to bathroom. Also a water leak from my outside plumbing was noticeable - hopefully this will be remedied.

The hotel was conveniently close to the city centre just a couple of minutes walk from Westgate gardens. There's no parking on site but we managed to park about two hundred metres away on the same road where parking restrictions were less restrictive. The room was nice and clean but the bed mattress was a bit harder than we're used to, it was okay though but if you like a soft mattress it wouldn't have been ideal (can only vouch for our room obviously). There were tea/coffee making facilities in the room and the bathroom was nice and clean. We had a lovely night's rest as the road outside is quite quiet (well on Sunday at least). We were greeted by a friend of the owner, he was very polite and helpful so we felt very welcome from the start.

The bed mattress was a little too hard for my partners liking but that said we both slept well. There was a coffee machine with pods but would have preferred a small kettle really (this is just a personal preference though).

The location was perfect 2 min walk from the center. The room was clean and had all nicely decorated. Refurbished bathroom. Flat TV. Espresso machine. I loved that the host cleaned the room and refilled my water and coffee everyday (small details make all the difference) Savas the host was excellent helpful, cool and always with a smile ready to help. Will definitely choose it for my next stay in Canterbury! Great value for money. The place was excellent ❤️

Good location, very quiet. Comfortable bed and nicely modernised bathroom.

The water pressure was low, little more than a trickle in the (very small) basin. The room is too small for the double bed so there is no room for a chair (there is a sort of wicker stool next the bed where a night table should be). The host was fine but monosyllabic. He seemed put out that I arrived a little early. I could not figure out the coffee machine. The small dresser had been repainted in silver, not the best.

Great location, easy check in and check out and had everything you needed with a room. Great shower, comfy bed (hard bed) and real window instead of the windows that only open 3cm at a travel lodge.

Room 9 - is very small, luckily I was only staying one night by myself but if I was with my wife and both had suitcases then the room would have been too small as I used half the bed to keep my stuff and used the other side to sleep. A full length mirror would be a great improvement to the room.

Owner very helpful when we needed to park our cars. Nice that the family room is divided. Daughters had their own space. Lovely comfortable feel to the place. Lovely modern bathroom. Great location. Would definately recommend.

Not ideal that daughters had to walk through our room to get to bathroom. Also the toilet has no door so if bathing others cannot use the toilet. Beautiful high tech bath but no shower. There is a shower head attached to bath but cannot really shower in it. No kettle in room only coffee machine. We are all tea drinkers and only 2 x small sugars available for 4 people. No wardrobe. Quite noisy on ground floor from guests above.

I liked the firm mattress and the coffee machine with thoughtful editions e.g. extra water. I liked the hot water in the shower and the complimentary shampoo etc. I also appreciated the independence I was given as I was very tired and really just wanted to be left to rest.

There was refurbishment in the home, but once in my room it had no impact on me.

Location was great, no parking on site or around site, we ended up parking in the station car park. £10 for 24 hours. Check in was easy and we were able to check in at 13:45 which was great. Check out was easy just leave the keys at the desk and go. Very clean room. Bed was abit hard but we slept fine. Great for an over night stay

Very warm and there wasn’t a fan or and air con. But we didn’t ask to be fair so possibly ask and they may supply a fan

Pretty much everything, the bed especially was INCREDIBLE!!! Room overall was great. Staff was awesome as well.

Would be nice to be able to leave bags for the day after checking out while exploring city, but very minor compared to everything else, would definitely recommend this place!

The room was very clean and very nicely furnished. The bed was very comfortable and the bed clothes high quality and clean. I was given bottles of filtered water for the coffee maker.

Not much. The sink is very small and the water pressure to the sink a bit weak but that didn’t spoil anything about my stay.
