Thanington is the best all around choice for Canterbury - clean rooms, great service, heated pool, car park, minutes from train station and Cathedral. We were most impressed with the staff. Ask for Toby. Top notch service.

Other experiences will vary granted but mine was perfect, allow me to explain why... I went there to study at the university and stayed over night after an incredibly hard day of studying. I was met with a warm and friendly welcome by the staff and that was only toped by the welcome from the room. Very comfortable and clean.... More

I admittedly booked at Thanington Hotel because I was booking late for the Bank Holiday/Mid-term Break and they had an open room to accommodate my family of five, the Canterbury Suite. Located on the 2nd floor, the Canterbury Suite (Rooms 15 & 16) have a living room area with a fold out couch and a master bedroom with en suite... More

It's a well positioned place for seeing Canterbury on foot. Quiet, in spite of being in a busy zone. Our room was of good size, and the beds were comfy. Nice, clean bathroom with decent chemistry and bathrobes. Excellent breakfast. And the staff that is truly great: we asked all shifts for something, and in all cases they were falling... More

We stayed in the Thanington Hotel for four nights in April. We had booked online while on the road. The room we were given was very clean, functional and warm (there was ice on the car each morning). It was perfectly positioned to give an easy walk into Canterbury and to drive out to other places of interest in the... More

Had a fantastic couple of nights in this character property, with very friendly staff, high quality breakfast, superb rear gardens, secure parking, heated swimming pool and easy walk into Canterbury City Centre. If you're going to Canterbury, this is a no-brainer - you have to book this hotel. Overall the facilities merit a 4 star rating.

3 nights for us, short walk into town and all the amenities. Excellent breakfast choices and friendly staff. Our room obviously not yet refurbished (superior with antique bed head ) however very cosy and comfortable, would recommend.

Very friendly staff who always smiled. Bedroom very comfortable and temperature good. WiFi a bit weak, and the electric tripped 3 times whilst using the iron. The staff reacted quickly each time to put it right. Breakfast in the good bracket, the juice was warm, don't you just hate that. Would return a nice walk to the city centre.

Thank you very much for taking the time to leave a review, it has been really helpful. Whilst I did know about the wifi and we are in the process of putting in new wireless access points to improve things, I didn't know about the iron problem. We have checked them all and thrown out the offending one! As for... More

We stayed in a dog friendly room and had a pleasant stay. The hotel is about 10 mins from the centre. Well run and clean and with a very good cooked breakfast, we have no complaints. The hotel is on a busy road, though the rooms in the annex are well set back and quiet. During our stay work was... More

Just there for two nights, and everything was excellent. A splendid and recently refurbished room with a four poster bed and luxurious bathroom. Breakfast is really good, quite ready to make the odd change as well. Very convenient for the centre of Canterbury too, about a 15 minute walk.
