Top Howletts Wild Animal Park Hotel Reviews

Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was easy to find and the free car park was good. The location is good, just a short walk in to the centre of Canterbury. Staff were helpful but the hotel is a bit 'tired'. I think some refurbishing is going on as the reception area and bar looked clean and modern but the rest had shabby carpet and worn out fittings & fixtures, e.g. our shower rail (the shower was over the bath) was very rusty. However, the bed was comfortable and breakfast was good."

The Falstaff Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here to attend a family event and loved the hotel. The room was lovely, the staff very helpful and friendly and the breakfast was great."

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"In the centre of Canterbury. Very quiet, helpful staff."

The Bat and Ball

8/10 Good

"The Bat and Ball is a 6 bedroom B&B in a former Pub opposite the Spitfire Cricket ground. It has a small car park and narrow staircase to the rooms. The downstairs has a lounge area with guests' fridge, complimentary coffee machine and industrial microwave. Although you are not allowed to eat in the rooms, the breakfast room is available for use all day and evening. We used our own picnic set. Continental breakfast is included in the room rate. The television in our room buffered a few times but otherwise the wifi worked fine. There is a convenient bus stop just down the road on the P3 route."

ABode Canterbury

8/10 Good

"Lovely trip in central location perfect!"

Canterbury Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was in a pleasant area of the city, very clean and staff were helpful. The breakfast was excellent and I slept very well. What lets it down is the maintenance. The sash cord on one side of the window in the bathroom was broken meaning it did not stay open. The toilet flush was faulty so it continually ran water after use until you jiggled the flush handle to make it stop. There was an illuminated mirror over the basin but when you pulled the on cord it flickered but did not work. The bathroom seemed recently refurbished so this was all rather disappointing. I reported the cord but it was a Friday evening and I was going out so did not expect any repair. The other matters I discovered when I returned late. On leaving the hotel there was no one at reception so wasn’t able to say anything then."

Corner House

10/10 Excellent

"a nice place to stay - full of character and close to main attractions. We had the attic room -ok for us but not suited to tall guests or those where a tight, steep and winding staircase would be difficult. Very good breakfast delivered to the door . We would also recommend The Corner House restaurant."

Greyfriars Lodge

8/10 Good

"Perfect positioning of the hotel for Canterbury Main Street"

The Duke William

10/10 Excellent

"A last minute overnight stay at The Duke William turned out to be an exceptional choice. A very friendly welcome as soon as we arrived, then shown to our room which was clean, tidy and comfortable. The evening menu was interesting. Had the Folkestone Mackerel which was served with a variety of good quality tomatoes and samphire. Vegetable side dish was full of high quality veggies. Washed down with a bottle of Picpoul which was probably the nicest I have tried. Breakfast was again lovely with good quality ingredients, very good value! The village is very nice and the whole experience left me wanting to come back again. Great staff, and obviously a great chef too!"
