Overall decent hotel. Best thing is convenient location to the train station, dining options and attractions. Warm breakfast options and happy hour incl. boardgames and snacks were great. Rooms could use a makeover (bathroom ceiling crumbling etc) though, especially for the price.

Great property, great location, was really nice and the staff were wonderful, probably the only thing I could say is, an air con unit and a fridge in the room would’ve been good but that’s the other thing I could say that’s remotely negative. Highly recommend the falstaff hotel to anyone looking to enjoy Canterbury

Fantastic location and gorgeous room. While the service was efficient, it felt more transactional than welcoming, which made the experience less personal than I’d hoped.

Joseph

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Convenient location. Walkable to everything in town. Bathroom toilet and tub gurgle and spout nasty water about 2-3 inches up from the drain, very visible and smells awful. This is sewer gas. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. Check-in is rigid, even if the room is ready and cleaned, you cannot check in until 3 pm - period. A long line forms at the front desk at 3 pm, all guests kept waiting in adjacent sitting rooms for the 3 pm hour. Petty and bureaucratic process and not in the least customer friendly.
