David
Double room was very small, especially with the sofa bed in use.
Kleinberg
It's an okay roadside place. The one problem is that if you're in the rooms adjacent to the road, you have noise 24 hrs a day.
Edward
Breakfast is great. Staff are great.
Room is swelteringly hot, bed is rock solid, pillows might as well not exist, and shower is weak.
Otherwise, good.

Great stay at this Hotel. The rooms were clean, the staff were friendly, and the location made getting around easy. Breakfast was fresh and enjoyable, and overall the hotel felt comfortable and well managed. Perfect for a smooth, hassle‑free trip.
Lyn
The check-in process was incredibly easy and seamless from start to finish. Everything was well organised, and the parking instructions were clear and straightforward, making our arrival completely stress-free. We had a pleasant stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed for a short visit. It's a simple, no-frills place with basic amenities, but it delivered exactly what we expected. The breakfast was good, with a nice selection to start the day, and the overall experience was great value for money. If you're looking for a clean, comfortable, and affordable place to stay without the extras, this is a solid choice.
SYED
Good location, room with comfy beds. Breakfast was included in the booking. Overall great experience.
Alok
The location of the hotel was in the middle of a highway but I get it that's on me I should've checked but the fact that they called me when my food was ready and told me to pick it up from reception was really surprising as I've never experienced this before in any hotel doesn't matter if it's 1 star or 5 star... The rooms were really clean and the people at reception were really nice as well but they should have someone who can deliver food to your room .
David
A very comfortable road side hotel to stay for a night.
Would recommend it to anyone travelling onwards to Europe, or using it for a convenient place to stay if wishing to visit Canterbury, whilst on route to elsewhere.

Good parking and the room was very comfortable and quiet. Breakfast was fabulous too
John
Reception staff were very good, welcoming, very polite and friendly. Room could not be faulted. Breakfast, very good, plenty of choice and all hotel staff very attentive and helpful. Parking, plenty of spaces and felt secure. We had a small dog with us and there was plenty of grassed space to walk him.
Anne Marie
Excellent staff, so helpful and attentive. Spotlessly clean room and a delicious breakfast with a good choice of food
Paresh
Hotel was clean, staff friendly
Ben
Decent hotel. But no air con and the bathrooms are too tiny.
Trevor
Wonderful staff. Comfortable bed. Strong shower. My three must haves ticked off.
Parking was reasonable with electric charging stations.
The included breakfast was really welcome. Tasty and of a good quality.
The bathroom had a maintenance issue. A small leak of water by the lavatory. Otherwise the Canterbury team do an excellent job.

SARAH
Lovely place to stay when traveling. Great restaurant and breakfast
Simon
I’m teased a lot for being a hotel snob, but this hotel has changed my views on “cheaper” hotels, stayed here 4 nights and I’m actually a bit sad to be leaving, I have felt welcomed and comfortable here from the moment I arrived to the moment that I am about to check out.
The staff are so friendly and nothing is too much trouble and all work very hard.
Book with confidence, you won’t regret it.

The one thing that stood out to me most of all was the staff!! Wow!! For this alone I would come back and travel 2 hours from home just to visit the staff again!
What wonderful care and attention the man and the young lady at the front desk took!
Thank you for a wonderful stay!
Food is 5* minimal but just what you need and always being refreshed and topped up!.
Rooms are basic but clean and tidy!

Heater in room very noisy ,had to switch it off then the room was very cold , then at 1 o’clock two young lads very drunk and next door banging on the door as they could not get in then at 3 when they where in very loud ,this was to be a special day for us tuned out to be a waste of time and money we did not want to stay for our breakfast just wanted to go. I would be looking for some kind of compensation please can you look at this
Richard
Staff, as always, excellent
HAYLEY
The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Was a little disappointed to be charged for parking, this seemed a little unnecessary given the location and felt like just a way to extract more money from guests. Given the location almost all guests would have to have driven so it would be clearer to include the full costs in one hotel price than have hidden costs as soon as you arrive.
Allison
The room was very clean. I have mobility issues and they gave me a room with one level and a shower seat. Which was great for me. The staff are always willing to help and are very courteous in all they do and will accommodate if possible anything you require. Thank you for a lovely stay and we will stay again.
Alexandro
Good room. Good price
Nicholas
We had a pleasant stay at this hotel. Very good value for money and an excellent place to stay if you’re catching the ferry from Dover.
The breakfast was amazing and included in the price. Staff were very friendly and helpful.
I will definitely be staying here again in the future.

Staff members were caring, pay good attention to your needs, approachable and professional.
julie
The staff were great..the room was very clean..we also had a evening meal which was excellent.
Only reason didn't give 5* is because the room was really cold when we arrived and no heat in bathroom. Not sure why we had to pay £3 parking..as there's nothing else around!

Staff were fine. Room was clean.was a pervading smell but it seemed to disapate. Breakfast was good staff very attentive.
Sarah
Staff are lovely at the hotel and try to accommodate everything but for a major nationwide chain to not understand Gluten Free needs (coeliac) is quite weird. We were offered Vegan and Vegetarian options! Sofa beds are not the nicest to sleep on but they're manageable for one night but they do make the room very \"snug\" to say the least. But overall it was fine for one night. Lovely to have windows that actually open so you can have fresh air rather than air conditioning. Parking is very easy but annoying that you have to pay for parking as an overnight guest.
Michael
Parking charge odd but otherwise fantastic
Daniel
clean comfy room
James
The service I received was shocking to say the least. I spoke to atleast 3 different people who confirmed a cot would be provided. Even on check in it was confirmed they're would be. Got to the room no cot. Went down to reception and the lady looked surprised I was there. They then provided me with a cot. To add to my frustration at 11pm the cot provided was broken with the plastic bottom having sharp edges, one side zipper was completely ripped off so my 12 month could crawl straight out. When back to reception to inform them and they looked unhelpful. They said they'll come to have a look at 11.15pm when I was trying to settle a 4 and 1 year old. In the end we ended up tasking our baby in our bed and I slept on the floor as I was petrified of turning in my sleep on him, so he stayed with my wife. We checked out at 4am to catch a ferry. Worse hotel stay I've had it along time, the receptionist couldn't wait to get home whilst their customers were needing help.

Good location if your catching ferry from dover

had to wait at Check-in as no one was there. Everyone was serving at restaurant next to the reception area. One staff was chatting with one of the guest at a restaurant table (it wasn't about order, they are doing socialising chat). One was at the beer taps.
This is not the first time but the third time I had to wait at reception to be checked-in. I always stay there for Business but it had to be the last stay as I am going to stay somewhere else from now onwards. The room I was placed was for Disable people too and all the facilities in that room wasn't convenient for me and I didn't feel comfortable. When I rang to reception about it, I was told that all the rooms are occupied but I didn't see it as I can feel/see when it's occupied because I used to stay at that place many times before. Thank you.

Quiet and safe neighbourhood with friendly and professional staff. However, the hotel would fo well to broaden it's dinner menu.

Iain
Fantastic for an overnight stay. It's near the motorway but not too noisy. Staff super helpful and friendly. Indian buffet for dinner on a Friday which we did not try but looks delicious.
Sarah
I asked for a quiet room but unfortunately we were in a room next to a dog who barked and woke us up at 6:30am and the people in the room the other side had a shower at 11:30pm and then were banging and crashing around and having a loud coversations until after midnight so it was not the best nights sleep. I would have mentioned it this morning at check out but breakfast was very busy and there was no one on the desk to speak to. I understand you don't know what type of people will be and how they will behave but was just frustrating as my husband had an interview exam today and we have a long drive home on less than 6 hours sleep.
Staff were friendly though at dinner last night and breakfast this morning, and check-in went smoothly too.

Awful, won’t be
Absolutely awful.
On the first night, at 23:30 with the kids already in bed out of nowhere the fire alarm starts blaring on the whole floor. We all woke up and a couple of minutes later it stopped.
We thought it a false alarm and went back to sleep.
Later at 1am again same thing.
This time myself with a bunch of other people went to the reception to figure out what the hell was going on and the person at the reception could barely communicate with us as to what was happening. Imagine trying to sleep with two children and being woken up twice in the same night!
On top of that:
- rooms are absolutely tiny. It’s impossible to walk about without having to squeeze.
- no airco. Plus the rooms were boiling even though the outside was a nice cool breeze. Opening the window doesn’t help and just a fan does nothing.
- no lift. Get ready to carry your suitcases up and down the stairs.
- car parking is paid and is extra. Seriously, a roadside hotel that can literally only be reached by car charging for their parking?! Ridiculous.
- the plumbing is old and we could hear a very loud noise whenever the neighbouring rooms had their taps open.
- half of the ev chargers are non functional, luckily there are BP ones nearby too.
Overall awful, not good value for money at all. Breakfast is a simple full English but nothing to call home about.

Need more training for house keeping
Pictures show how they made our bed on the last two days. First time i see this in my life. My toddler can do better than this.
FYI, rooms does not has AC, not as what they advised in their website. I would not go back and would not recomment, especially in hot summer.

Practical and basic.
Twin beds were comfortable; breakfast overcrowded and dangerous considering hot drinks and food and also displayed on a very small area. Maybe it could be expanded to a larger space during busy times. Friendly staff.
Anthony
Very good

Clean room comfortable bed and good breakfast with plenty of choice. The staff were all welcoming and helpful. Would thoroughly recommend this hotel and look forward to staying again

Holiday inn , Canterbury motorway review
Great stay . Bit noisy with traffic in room 218. Staff extremely helpful in food area. Bed on small side but very comfortable. Bathroom excellent. Could do with more space to hang clothes/put clothes away but find as we were there for one night. Definitely would go again . Great fan in room !!
Kim
Not the Best
My check in experience was awful. I was a single traveller & was allocated a twin room. It took a long time to resolve & a huge queue built up.
The room itself was fine other than there is no air conditioning & when I opened the window I found there was a flat roof to another part of the building littered with cigarette ends. Considering it was supposed to be non smoking it wasn’t the best. The fan provided just moved hot air around. The bed was a small double & not particularly comfortable.
Breakfast was the usual Holiday Inn Express fare. Pretty limited. I did manage to get vegetarian sausages but they took a while to be cooked.
The strangest thing about the hotel is that it is tucked behind a service station. Getting access isn’t great as you have to be heading towards Canterbury to get in. Returning from Canterbury means a detour to be able to get onto the road that the Services are situated on.
I won’t return unless I’m absolutely desperate.

Everything is good except the shower water temperature is not stable. Sometimes, it is cold and hot…..
Tim
We phoned to confirm that we would be arriving later than expected only to be informed that the hotel was closed due to a disruption to water supply. An attempt by the manager to find alternative accommodation, that took less than two minutes was fruitless. What would they have done had we arrived as per schedule
Richard
Great service
The service was 5 star. I eould go back just for that.
Howard

overnight stay before boarding Le Shuttle - ideal base for a quick visit to Canterbury - looking a little tired but ideal for our needs
Colin

Easy access to the ports. The staff made the difference. Everybody we spoke to was friendly and professional.
The hotel was just a stopping point.
Well done the staff!

Pleasant stay good staff

We booked two rooms for a one night family stay. The hotel is basic but had everything we needed and was comfortable. We used the restaurant in the evening and the food (pizza, wrap) was good. Breakfast was also good with plenty of choice. What really lifted the stay was the performance and attitude of the staff. Friendly and really helpful. Attentive at dinner and breakfast. A real effort at breakfast to keep items replenished and make sure people had what they wanted. Just before the end of breakfast staff made sure everyone knew the buffet was about to close, so they could go to get anything else they wanted.

Nice place, good food, and great staff
Andrew
Have to say Joel on the night shift check in service was so helpful and gave more of a 5star service went the extra mile I stay in a lot of budget hotels throughout the country and is by far wasted at the holiday in and should be in a posh 5 star as he went the extra mile
Shailendra
It was a nice stay overall. Clean rooms and bathroom. Other usual basic stuff available in the room like kettle, coffee pouchs etc.

The hotel was lovely and clean was nice to be able to sit outside and the staff were lovely very helpful I would recommend this hotel and will stay here again
