We stayed here for a weekend trip to Canterbury. Walked from Canterbury East train stations - about 15 minutes and about 5 minutes Uber to Canterbury West to train north. The hotel was easy to find, clean, had air conditioning, and comfortable beds. Bathroom was clean. There is a Waitrose across the street and it’s about 10 minutes walk into the city center. Overall, a great place for a family stay.

Had never stayed at a premier inn before so wasn’t aware of some of the strange rules like going down to reception each morning to ask for our room to be cleaned the same day, this was just plain stupid and by day 2 one of the staff kindly added this to our entire booking. The parking was painful as if you went out late you couldn’t get a park even though they make you pay for all the parking when you arrive, but again a staff member talked to Pizza Hutt and they let us park there a night. Breakfast ok, staff in restaurant very friendly, overall an ok experience.supermarket next door and across road and hotel right in town, very walkable. Ps staff that cleaned room were also super friendly!

There was a huge parking debacle when we arrived, no one at the reception desk, except for two kiosks that said in big words “out of order”. Then we were told in order to park there we needed a UK telephone number and we are from the US so that wasn’t possible. The signs in the parking area were ambiguous and not helpful at all… And all the trash and rubbish in that area was particularly offputting. It took about 35 minutes to actually find someway to park and check into the room. When we tried to order dinner from the menu in the room we were told only about seven options were available off of the entire menu. We weren’t told ahead of time that the rooms would not be serviced unless we requested it so on our second day we were careful to requested, but the next day we were told they were busy cleaning the second floor and would not get to ours. No service. Shameful.
