We had a great stay at the Falstaff, and enjoyed our trip. The only thing is that there is no A/C in the rooms, just a fan - which did not help very much for the heatwave. However, this just meant we spent more time out and enjoyed more of Canterbury - and all was well.

We stayed with friends, I requested a down stairs room, unfortunately it was on the road side, therefore traffic noise was a problem early in the morning. The room was very hot. It didn't spoil out stay, the staff were great.

Our room, which was in the main part of the hotel, was comfortable, clean and came with all the quirks of an old building - slopping floors and creaky boards. All part of the character.

Lovely breakfast. We were put in their accessible ground floor room, but unfortunately it was quite noisy due to the outside door being slammed day and night. Staff were lovely, and the cocktails were fabulous. Great location near to the city centre.

Was very disappointed with breakfast on our second day. First one was fine although the veggie bacon wss very overdone. Second day gave up after waiting 45 mins. Tried to just have toast as main didn't tiurn up. However no bread , no yoghurt either. Tables were not cleared , shame to say it but a shambles.. Everthing else about the stay was very good.
