"Wouldnt stay here again."
There is no parking for this hotel. There is a lot behind the building that services the restaurants and charges via phone. If you have an American phone number you cannot pay on line, it wont recognize it. The area around the hotel could use trash pickup and cleaning. The staff is great, there is a lot management could do to make this hotel safer and better.
"Clean, Modern Rooms and Great Staff"
We had a great stay overall. The room was spotless, the bed was very comfortable, and the recent renovations gave everything a fresh, modern feel. The staff were friendly and helpful, and check-in/check-out was quick and hassle-free. The only minor drawbacks were the lack of an available iron due to high demand and the difficulty finding convenient parking. However, these didn't take away from an otherwise pleasant experience. Would definitely consider staying again!
"Great stay"
Great location and lovely staff - the receptionist Jess was so welcoming and helpful, we reported an issue with the TV and she sorted it out for us so quickly! Also gave us some great recommendations for things to do around the city. All in all a great stay, great value for the location, can’t fault it.
"Great value for money in a Hotel which was central to Canterbury allowing easy access to the shops and restaurants."
The Hotel, was very clean and tidy, with the room immaculate. Bed was comfortable and it was great to actually have a bath rather than just a shower room. Although I didn't eat in this hotel I did have a look around and the bar and restaurant was very tidy and inviting. I thought the hotel represented good value for money.
"Clean, refurbished room, good location"
I use Premier Inn a lot and the room/facilities were good as per our expectations. The location was fine for us - about an 8-10 minute walk into the centre of Canterbury. What let it down for me (at this particular hotel) was that there was no key--card entry security on the lifts nor on the bedroom corridors.
