We stayed here for one night in the middle of the week, as it was the cheapest hotel we could find in Canterbury.
The hotel itself was much better than what we expected. The rooms were simple but comfortable, and looked recently decorated, and the bathroom was quite big with a really good shower. The hotel is right next to the main road into Canterbury, but we didn't hear any traffic noises at all. Reception staff were helpful and friendly.
Breakfast was again much better than expected, there was lots of choice and a free newspaper too.
From the hotel it's only about a 15 minute drive into the centre of Canterbury, the only small problem being that driving back to the hotel you can't cut across the road, and so have to drive back up to the roundabout which adds about another 10 mins onto your journey (the only reason for my 4 stars)
If you have a car, this is a really good value hotel where I'm sure you'll have an enjoyable stay.

For a budget hotel this is pretty good. Rooms clean and comfortable, friendly satff and pleasant reception area.
In the middle of nowhere on one side of a dual carriageway about 5 miles from Canterbury, this is not the most convenient location and eating anywhere other than the transport style diner requires a drive and a bit of careful navigation

Although outside of the city walls by three miles, the hotel is welcoming and so long as you have a car, reasonably convienient. For the price the room we had for our family group was adequate - clean warm and had everything we needed for our stay. The staff were polite and other guests friendly. The free breakfast was a bonus and whilst not out of this world a falmily room for this price with breakfast is very good value indeed. We would stay again - even my young son enjoyed himself.

I frequently stay here when I have business in the area and have always found the staff to be very friendly and helpful.
To get from one side of the carriageway to the other is very easy once you've been told how - just ask the reception staff.
Usual modem connections and good workdesk space. Be aware that they charge 50p for connection to a freephone number - which I think is a little petty as it doesn't cost them anything!
The hotel is always clean and the breakfast plentiful. Until recently you could order bar snacks in the evening but now the diner is open across the car park they have stopped doing this.
However it's usual for a HI Express not to provide evening meals within the premises.
If you want a clean, friendly hotel with good car parking then here will serve you well
