8/10 Good

"Hally I hotel was dirty. Good entertainment. The location is quite good."

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"Modern property, clean, and extremely convenient for access to Central Canterbury. Staff were particularly helpful and professional, 24 hour bar with some food. Excellent breakfast. Parking is located a 5 minute walk away as the hotel is a pedestrian area. Good local restaurants and tea shops are a short walk."

Hampton by Hilton Ashford International

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay very helpful staff, I had booked the wrong room but they changed it no problem. The room was great clean and comfortable with a lovely shower and products. The breakfast was very tasty and a nice variety. My only minus points would be no smart tv so no Netflix etc, no mirror near a chair and dressing table and no biscuits with the tea/coffee."
