ShanQi, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely, Clean, New Hotel with a rich history

The hotel has recently been refurbished but still has the ‘old’ side which you can select the room for stay if you are interested in this historic experience. Those rooms will be available for cheaper prices as well. I chose to stay at the ‘newer’ side for my accommodation this time as they are usually more comfortable for a good night sleep. I was correct and the room looks amazing and spacious too! What a wonderful refurbishment with great designs. Staff were also very helpful and friendly with the hospitality service. Their breakfast or dining area seems lovely although I took it outside instead as there’s so much to do and eat outside the hotel as well. I would loved to stay here once again if I come round for a visit once again.

Jeremy, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Still under construction and felt a bit neglected. Breakfast was understaffed and in a dark room without windows. But the room itself was clean and comfortable and parking was helpful
Isabella, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staffs were very nice and accomodating. Breakfast was surprisingly good with many menus to choose from (buffet style). The property is outdated (the smell reminded me of my grandma's house- definitely not a bad smell, but an "old" smell) except for the ground floor which seems to have been recently renovated. Walkable distance to the city center, though some may say it's slightly far away (10 minutes). For the price I paid, it was good value.
Akira, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Stayed here last month andbhad a pleasant time. The room was tidy & comfortable, and their morning breakfast was delocious and vast in variety
Lesley, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Room was clean, lovely, and quiet. The bed was super comfortable and TV was great. The bathroom was modern and clean. Staff were super lovely. No issues for us. Didn't use bar or restaurant so nothing to say for that, but we were able walk into central Cantebury in 7-8 mins and we would have dinner there. So all in all, would absolutely recommend for an easy and enjoyable weekend!
