The room was fine, the guy on reception (although new and not very experienced) was fine - my only issue was that the pub was closed the night we stayed - and I wasn't expecting that.... it would appear the pub is only open certain nights of the week and that is not made clear on their site... also parking is a bit of an issue as everywhere around is permit parking only. However it is a great location to walk into the city, and Canterbury is really lovely.

Conference stay
We stayed while attending a conference at the university. The location was excellent (close to the town center, easy to reach the university, close to the train station) and the hosts were very hospitable and easygoing! We stayed in the garden suite and really enjoyed the access to the garden from our room, which was also very comfortable. Breakfast was fantastic!

Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
No wardrobe or even hanging rails available in the bedroom ??. Staff looked somewhat overwhelmed at breakfast, food hygiene was pretty much non existent. No apology from the staff either after a fire alarm went off at silly o'clock in the morning. Fully aware that sometimes these things can happen accidentally but an acknowledgement of interrupted sleep would've been welcomed Overall would have to say this was the least pleasant experience I've ever had whilst on a break either at home or abroad. Don't be surprised if your expectations based on a half decent website don't marry up with the reality of staying there.
