Pros: The views from the windows were beautiful. But being on the top floor helped. The dual aspect brought in natural light. However the windows rattled in the night due to the wind. They were ressolved with lots of paper stuffed into place. The location was only a short walk to the main shops & restaurants. The cathedral was very close by. We could see the scaffold side from our room

Pros: Perfect location as we had booked a show at the Marlowe Theatre. Loved that we could use the car park across the way for just £6 in addition to our booking, saved us lots on parking! Staff were just lovely. The lady that welcomed us at the bar was really friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble. The bathroom was great, lovely corner bath and great illuminated mirror. Breakfast was spot on, well presented and beautiful flavours. Great start to our day!

Cons: A weekend to visit my daughter and take in the sights. On arrival the reception wasn't visible due to a company event and crowds if people. There was only a lady clearing tables to ask and she snapped "go to reception!". I had advised them of our arrival time. I explained we couldn't due to the crowds. She did then apologise and came to check us in. We had booked a twin room after viewing photos on their website. It showed it had a bath and that was a reason we chose the room. The room had no bath and when we explained the photos of the room showed a bath we were told it was the booking companys fault and we should have rung to ask. The whole stay was uncomfortable from then on. On the last morning we waited 45 minutes for poached egg on toast. We werent the only ones dissapointed at breakfast as we could hear another couple not happy with the service. The food was delicious....when it arrived but we had to rush for our train so couldnt enjoy eating without rushing it down.

Loved spending time around her. Great holiday and memories The position was within walking distance from the train station. Taxis are readily available. There was a festival on so that was a nice bonus. Canterbury has amazing history, buildings and the town silk very friendly and helpful. The Phoenix pub close by was cosy and the guy behind the bar shared a book and history of Canterbury.

I was also able to get my clothes washed so I was fresh and clean for my preentation. Everything was spotlessly clean. Lovely huge and fragrant orchids.
Cons: I had to wait a few times to use the bathroom which I suppose is unavoidable. Thankfully we booked our own private double bedroom, or so we thought. My partner is over 6 feet tall and the bed was too short for his legs and he had to sleep on a diagonal. The mattress was way too firm and kept him up at night.

Also too many cameras everywhere what made me anxcious and feeling controlled and observed).

Rooms tidy and clean, but someone had been fiddling with our TV and it wouldn't operate properly.
Cons: It isn't a place to stay if the visitor has movement isues; it is multi-level even on the ground floor although the majority is flat. The car park is small and access needed several 'shunts' to get in or out so if you aren't a good reverser it could cause problems. The room we stayed in will need some work sooner rather than later - nothing important, just 'bits'.
6.7 Good
Pros: Good location good facilities, was nice to have a pool to use
Cons: We had requested a vegan breakfast option which we did get, but over heard the chef say that he wasn’t going to cook things in different pans so we knew it was cooked in butter after that.

They offered a kitchen and were very close to a Sainsbury. They also offered a several food, snack, and drink options.
Cons: The hostel had a good location, but it was about half a mile from the city center so you did have to walk for 5-10 minutes through more neighborhood-like area to get to some of the main touristy sites. Both times I went to reception, the person at the front desk was out and I had to call them with the phone - not a big deal since the phone was free and right there, but it seems like maybe they should be at their desk more often when reception is supposed to be open.

Pros: Food, decor, staff

Finally an oil filled radiator provided as alternative. Room clean but only 1 bath and 1 hand towel provided for a double room. More requested but did not come till room cleaned next day. Food good when it came but shocking slow service - apparently due to a large party. Clearly kitchen and waiting staff inadequate. Breakfast bar and tables not replenished or prepared following tour party - another long wait.

Cons: Bedroom door did not close properly. The bathroom door squeaked. The breakfast was mediocre and not much choice at the buffet. Too loud music. Altogether I cannot recommend this hotel to anyone. It most certainly was not good value for what they charge.

Pros: Attractive old world building. Very central location inside city walls and easy walk to all historic attractions. Nice bar with real fire and good restaurant. Bar snd breakfast staff very helpful and friendly

Pros: Location great, right on the pedestrianised high Street. All staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was freshly cooked and the dining room was very comfortable. Beds were very comfortable and all was very clean.
Cons: Just would have liked a complimentary bottle of water rather than the price charged.
5.4 Okay
Pros: Can't beat the location.
Cons: Front desk staff were very unprofessional. One man at the front desk argued with me when I complained about a slamming door that kept us up all night, rather than trying to help! I had to investigate myself to solve the problem. Staff could use some lessons in hospitality. Also, I had to ask for my baby's cot 3 times, before it finally arrived at 10PM.

9.0 Excellent
Pros: Breakfast was very good and rooms were quiet, clean and comfortable. Parking was very good and food at the restaurant was good, nice selection.
Cons: It was a little hard to find because the sign was hardly visible until you were right on top of it. Located on the Old London Road if you missed the sign, you had to detour around and that got a bit complicated.

Pros: The suite room was amazing, very spacious, clean, beautifully furnished with en-suite, comfy bed. My adult daughter was even able to have some privacy using the sofa bed in the separate lounge area. Nick was so friendly and couldn’t do enough to help us. Breakfast included a great selection of foods including yoghurt and fresh fruit. Location was great, we walked into the old town and had a lovely walk in the opposite direction. Private parking.

Pros: Nick the owner was very friendly and welcoming. We had a nice night stay here and an adequate breakfast. The location was excellent for us as the University just a 10 minute walk one way and the main City center a nice 10 minute walk the following way making it ideal for us (buses very frequent if required) Thanks Nick - we will be back :)

Pros: The hotel is very well located in the middle of town and easy to find. All the main sights are within walking distance and no need for tour guides. The place was clean and quiet, got some good rest. Ridiculously cheap entrance to main sights. Loved the whole old town feel and history of the place. Worth a visit even for just a day trip.

Pros: The hotel was charming! The room was large with big windows. The facility was very clean. The location was perfect - central to the attractions. The walk to Canterbury Cathedral was about 5 minutes and the train station about 10 minutes. The staff was very accommodating - we arrived early and were able to check into our room early as well. The staff allowed us to leave our bags after we checked out and were very kind to us. The breakfast was great and included in the price. We loved our stay here!

Cons: It was a bit of a pain that there is no reception or breakfast area in the building of Peregrine House. It's not a long walk to the Pilgrim's Hotel where everything else is - about 10 minutes to and from. Not ideal for people who like everything in one space, book the Pilgrim's instead.

4.6 Okay
Pros: The beds were comfortable, the shower was easy to use and the breakfast was lovely, with a very pleasant waitress, named Zoe.
Cons: The hotel is further than 5 minutes walk away, so, thank goodness it was not raining when we went for breakfast. The curtains could be thicker to block out more light. We could not keep the window open, so had to put a box of tissues in the window so that it did not close. We had several issues with our room which were not actually sorted out during our stay, although we had written down our issues and had reminded the receptionist every morning. For the last night, we were offered an alternative room, which seemed too much effort to move all our belongings for just one night. When i told a member of staff that our electrical issue had still not been mending on our last morning, i was informed that the electrician was on holiday. I am amassed that they do not have another electrician they could ask as a back up. We have stayed in much better, yet cheaper, establishments.
