Excellent breakfast, very clean and cosy rooms. Very calm location but really close to the main street with a lot of restaurants, pubs and shops. Sanjeewa was very kind and helpful in every possible way. We are really happy with our stay.

Room was clean but small and dated. Had to fill the kettle with water in a mug due to the sink being very small. Breakfast fine, and the owner very nice.

Great place to stay if looking for somewhere that doesn’t cost too much and you need to be right in the heart of Canterbury. Check in was nice and easy, arranged payment for parking in nearby multi story with no issues. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was a bit basic but honestly great value for money. You get what you pay for. Ideal for if you’re on a budget. We stayed in family room (2 adults and 2 children). Everywhere was walking distance. Would definitely use again.

You couldn't be more central (excellent location). Sanjeewa was wonderful - We thought we had an issue with our TV & he came up immediately to sort it (it was us, not the TV)! Breakfast was so good, continental but plenty of variety. Sanjeewa also allowed us to leave pur bags at the property, after check-out. Really can't rate this place highly enough, at the price we paid. Would recommend 💯

A real nice stay downtown Canterbury

Very friendly host who takes away all problems challenges during your stay and gives you good directions for staying in Canterbury. Breakfast is good and the rooms are classical English style well equiped (fridge for cooling your drinks and have a drink/aperative in the hotel room). If you go to Canterbury go here
