Ease of access. Hardly any parking. Poor service just like any other Premier inn. At a good spot in Canterbury close to town centre. Good spacious and clean rooms. Cannot open windows as if you are locked In a cell. And highly priced. 😕

Excellent location, just outside of the city walls with very easy parking down the road. Whilst on a junction the hotel remained quiet. The team offered a friendly face and were very helpful. Great cooked breakfast, with good fresh coffee.

Me and my partner are regular guests at Premier Inn hotels. We have stayed at the majority around Kent, seeing as we are from Canterbury. …

This premier inn is lovely and just what my partner and I needed. The rooms are clean and well looked after, and any request we made (more towels, room clean etc) were handled promptly. The star of the hotel is its restaurant, and we were served three times by lovely Beth who looked after us very well. The food was so good we may come back just to eat in the restaurant - the curry was one of the best my partner has had!

Thank you for a great stay for my parents last week. After checking in I asked if we could change the room to a higher floor as the view would be nicer - the kind receptionist (Preet I believe) helped us immediately. The cathedral view really made my parents‘ stay, thank you!!

Nice and clean room, decent quality for the price. Really nice breakfast. Welcoming and caring staff. Just few parking spaces which you cannot pre book so had to use off site parking but it was very close to hotel, however, it did cost extra to park there.

Was catching up with family and the premier inn provided all of the facilities we needed, combined with very helpful staff. We ate the evening meal and breakfast at the hotel and both were very good. Emma and Abigail looked after us very well and were extremely helpful and friendly. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

The venue instruction is to park in the nearby car park. We did and it cost us £20. This was annoying as there are car parking facilities at the hotel! …

We stay here regularly and always enjoy the welcoming effect of this Premier Inn. The staff are lovely, and special praise goes to Sharon the head housekeeper who always ensures that everything is perfect - she is a credit to Premier Inn. Thank you and see you on our next booking very soon
