Guest Ratings & Reviews
I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and exceptionally quiet, offering great value for the money. The location was convenient with easy access to Canterbury and the coastal resorts, and I appreciated the peaceful setting away from traffic noise. The dining experience was satisfactory, although I wished for a wider range of options. Overall, a fantastic choice for a student stay in Canterbury.
I found this hotel in Canterbury to be a mixed bag. The rooms were clean and quiet, though they got very hot during the heatwave. For the affordable price in a student room, the design felt okay for a student setup.
The hotel offered fantastic value for money with modern and clean rooms, tea and coffee facilities, and decent internet. However, the central heating thermostat was broken, leading to a too hot environment. The paint was coming off, and the edging was falling away.
