The Falstaff in Canterbury8-10 St Dunstans Street, CT2 8AF Canterbury (Show map) Very good, Score from 512 reviews“Character and style, very pleasant place to stay. ”
Alex,
Barnehurst
Just feet from Canterbury’s medieval West Gate, this charming building dates back to 1403. A former coaching inn, it offers free Wi-Fi and free parking, a short walk from the center of the city. The Falstaff still retains many original features, including oak beams and an open log fire. Each room has a TV for guests to use, and facilities for making tea and coffee. Guests can enjoy a drink in the traditional bar, which opens out onto an outdoor terrace. A full English breakfast is served in the morning, and there are restaurants within a short walk of the hotel. Canterbury West Train Station is a 3-minute walk from the building. The city’s spectacular Norman cathedral can be reached in less than 10 minutes by foot. Hotel Rooms: 47

The hotel is centrally located car parking is a bonus. Staff are friendly and the hotel has a homely feeling with beamed ceilings and open firers. The rooms are full of character.

A comfortable, reasonably priced, old style, hotel close to the city centre and with free parking. Breakfast was good and the room spacious and comfortable. The restaurant is a bit too small for the number of bedrooms. We had to wait for a table for Breakfast on one morning, as others had to on other mornings. We were offered a table in the bar. I was surprised that the hotel did not do lunches or dinner except for a limited sandwich type menu. But it is close to the many and varied restaurants of Canterbury.

Convenient to where I was working at the Cathedral. It doesn't make use the breakfast restaurant for evening meals, which as a solo traveller would be very useful.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. They tried to meet all the requirements of the group. The hotel is an old building and fits the historic appeal of Canterbury As it is an old building some of the rooms were odd shapes and sizes. Luckily they were all still very comfortable.

Lacation and price It was a bit dated and the reception staff could have offered to assist with our bags which we were quite obviousely struggling with on check-in. Also the cleanliness of the room was dubious (the, all too often present, hairs in the sink and bath)

First impressions of The Falstaff were very good. Entrance lobby was clean with lots of information about the area. Very friendly staff. Great location. Although our room had everything in it, the decor was very dated and is overdue for redecorating. It was still quite comfortable.

The location was excellent, it was nice and quiet in comparison to the student filled town, meant we could retreat to the hotel for a night cap in front of the log fire. The car park is badly designed and parking is very tight, we arrived late and had to park in the even more badly designed car park at the rear of the hotel, which meant parking our large car very difficult. We were told by other travellers that it is common to damage car doors on exiting, even with this warning we found it impossible to manouver without scratching the car door .So what was a cheap weekend away cost us an addition £1K. The staff were not over friendly and in particular the bar man who was very grumpy in the evening and again in the morning at breakfast.

A quirky and attractive hotel. The room was a high standard and the breakfast was very good. The sound-proofing between rooms in the Watermill was poor. I was disturbed by my neighbours on both nights, but this is a quibble because, apart from this, my stay was extremely pleasant.

So close to the westgate. Parked my car and never used it during our stay. The accomodation was separate from the main building. Cold walk for breakfast in the morning

The staff were fantastic. Welcoming and very helpful to us as we have a young toddler. The attic room was the most suitable room I imagine the hotel has. Very spacious and large bathroom. Ideal. £5 charge for a travel cot in the room and a brilliant breakfast suitable for all.

I found the location great, and a real warm welcome when we arrived. The room was very clean, real cosy bed, room was a great size. Breakfast was good, Staff were friendly. We shall be going back again. The only thing I would like to have seen in my room was small bottles of water next to the Tea Tray, as we always drink water first thing in the morning.

The location is very good, you can walk everywhere. The hotel includes several buildings, our room was in the new one (not where the main entrance is), and it was very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was very good, and the staff were very nice. There's nothing that we didn't like, but you have to know that we had to walk across the car park to go to the breakfast restaurant and reception. It's not a problem at all, but I think it's good to know.

Good location, friendly staff, good breakfast. I stayed at the hotel with friends. They had double rooms I had a single room. Perfectly fine for me but as the ensuite was upstairs I feel I should have been warned in case it was not suitable for me.

We have stayed several times at this 14th Century coaching inn and enjoyed a first class service from wonderful staff. It is ideal for historical sites, including the famous cathedral, and shopping (all within walking distance) as well as trips to the adjacent countryside. Highly recommended.
