What a lovely, quirky hotel.
Rooms were very small, but that didn’t bother us. Staff were great, breakfast was nice. All In all, we had a lovely stay thank you x
A lovely one night stay here pre theatre trip to the Marlowe theatre. The added benefit of good paid onsite parking. The hotel does a two for one happy hour for cocktails from 6-7pm with a cheese plate for nibbles for hotel guests. Post theatre is was a very short stroll back to the hotel with post theatre night caps very close by outside. Breakfast was adequate, we would have liked a hot porridge option especially as the weather is cooling down now, but breakfast good otherwise. Altogether a good stay and we would return here again.
Our stay at The Falstaff was amazing. The hotel, location, parking and room were outstanding. I also have to give kudos to the staff with a special shout out to Sandra. Sandra made sure everything was perfect and made such an extra effort to help us through some tricky problems.
We had a 'cozy' room, meaning tiny, but it was nicely furnished with a TV and nice bathroom with a strong shower. The receptionist staff was friendly and helpful, pointing out the happy hour at the bar. 2 for 1 deal plus a cheese plate. The hotel is centrally located with parking behind ( parking in Canterbury is expensive). Very close to the town center and restaurants. Decent breakfast choices. The 14th century building successfully marries old and modern.
Lovely historical coach house with lots of character and very easy walk to all the Canterbury attractions. Great staff, good food and hotel very clean. Will definitely stay again
We had one night in Canterbury, we spent Sunday shopping along the High Street and then had a meal out at the local Weatherspoon's (at the end of the hotel car park). The hotel was beautifully clean. We had a good nights sleep and woke to have an amazing full British. All we could ask for... Car parking is £15.00 for the day-night which is done on the smartphone and nothing to do with the hotel so you must be Techie Savvy to park. Overall and excellent experience and exceptionally close to the high Street for shopping.
Lovely hotel, very clean and friendly staff, and Happy Hour every night! Ideally situated at the top of the town, near Canterbury West Station. Has secondary glazing, so if you have a room looking out the front (it is on a busy road) you can pull this across to shut out the road noise. Would recommend, and if visiting Canterbury again, will definitely stay again!

Nice hotel rooms are a bit small and dark. Breakfast fairly good. You have to pay to use their car park £15.30 a night. They won’t let you check in early so arrive at 2.45 or later.
Really smart, boutique style hotel in the centre of Canterbury. Really comfy & relaxed. Super helpful and friendly staff. Feather pillows too - wow what a treat. Top notch breakfast, recommend eggs benedict or avacados on toast
.
Great location for the hotel. The room itself was roomy and comfortable with nice decor. Breakfast was excellent!, As a solo female traveller, I would gave preferred being assigned a room on higher floor. My room was on the main floor with large bay windows on the main road right next to a pub/bar. A bit disconcerting but after closing the heavy drapes I felt okay. The biggest concern I had was with the low water pressure.
Beautiful hotel, clean rooms, bed was super comfortable. The staff were helpful, efficient and polite. The breakfasts were very good. Great Hotel, we will definitely come back again
Excellent room on ground floor in main building
Very good choice of food for breakfast. Staff very helpful and friendly. Overall lovely hotel and close to shops.
A very old building but clean and the staff were very helpful. I had a fall while staying (not in the hotel) and Sandra on reception was very concerned and assisted with ice for my bruises and also fetched my bags down on our departure date. Would go there again but request a slightly bigger room. Ours was a little small for two adults trying to get ready to go out!
