The whole staff was very helpful and personable, but I wanted to give a shoutout to Tony, who went above and beyond. I called an Uber on my last day, and it kept delaying the arrival time. When I became concerned about missing my train, and a taxi was going to take too long to arrive, Tony took me to the train station himself--talk about going the extra mile! (Also, note that Uber is currently not reliable in Canterbury--hopefully that will change in the future).

Room was fine, the bathroom was very clean, the beds were on the hard side. The restaurant was a bit average, my wife and I had the carvery in the evening and it was a bad choice (dry end pieces of meat probably untouched since the lunch service, and school dinner veg). Our son had steak and enjoyed it after a long wait (we had given up eating our carvery by the time his arrived). Otherwise not a bad choice for a visit to Canterbury with the town centre around a 15min walk.

Hotel located in a nice and quiet neighborhood at walking distance from the city center. Room was small but clean. Staff was very kind. Breakfast offered several options. The part of the hotel I was allocated to was very old and would benefit from significant renovation. Bed was really uncomfortable.

ideal place to stay for Canterbury

did find food portions differed each day, particularly the breakfast, first day asked for scrambled egg on toast, one piece of bread small portion of scrambled egg, (glad I wasn't paying the full price) second day thought I would try scrambled egg again with hash brown, one hash brown small portion of scrambled egg! so I did point this out to the waitress, seems this is the standard portion and priced separately, if you want more need to ask, (bit late now) third day, lets go for the full English no tomatoes, " would you like two eggs"? please, two eggs beans one slice of bacon, one sausage, one hash brown and one mushroom! final day, repeat third day but, scrambled instead of fried, on the plate, beans, two slices of bacon, one sausage, one hash brown, plenty of mushrooms, so I take it the longer you stay the bigger the breakfast gets? apart from that enjoyed our stay, this was our second time, building getting a bit tired, guttering needs cleaning, roof leaks in places, looked after by staff,
