The first room we were given was disappointing as it was next to noisy pub garden and was smaller and more cramped than advertised, thankfully the receptionist was great and moved us to a different room which was lovely and we had a great stay. Food at the nearby Cafe de soleil was delicious and hotel was convenient for wandering round the city and Cathedral

Overall decent hotel. Best thing is convenient location to the train station, dining options and attractions. Warm breakfast options and happy hour incl. boardgames and snacks were great. Rooms could use a makeover (bathroom ceiling crumbling etc) though, especially for the price.

Great property, great location, was really nice and the staff were wonderful, probably the only thing I could say is, an air con unit and a fridge in the room would’ve been good but that’s the other thing I could say that’s remotely negative. Highly recommend the falstaff hotel to anyone looking to enjoy Canterbury

Fantastic hotel and staff

Fantastic hotel. Great bar area and restaurant. The room was large and comfortable and in the large annex at the back so was really quiet. The staff were amazing. So helpful and friendly and the breakfast and evening happy hour were amazing.

Fantastic location and gorgeous room. While the service was efficient, it felt more transactional than welcoming, which made the experience less personal than I’d hoped.
