'A clean and comfortable room. Around a 15 minute walk to the amazing city centre. According to my IPhone map it is 1 mile. Can assure you it did not feel like a mile walk and is very direct and easy. Hotel gives information on what to do and see. There is a swimming pool. Car park tricky in a big car, typical Canterbury style though, so is in keeping. Lovely breakfast. Enjoy'

'Greatly enjoyed staying at Thanington Hotel in Canterbury. The rooms were very comfortable and had a certain charm you won't find in a chain hotel.The included breakfast was excellent and gave an opportunity to meet some of the other hotel guests. The staff were all very friendly to a single person travelling alone and the price per night was very competitive.'

'The friendliest and most helpful staff I have ever stayed with. Smashing hotel, a good night's sleep, pretty garden with a pool and freshly cooked breakfast.

It also makes a great base for exploring the rest of Kent. The indoor pool was warm and welcoming after a long day visiting the many sites of Kent! We would stay again if ever in the area.'

'Stayed one night in the Canterbury Suite. First impressions when arriving on Wincheap are not the best. The hotel is near an industrial estate. However the hotel itself was very good. The suite which is on the second floor consists of a lounge which is at the back of the hotel and an en-suite bedroom at the front. The lounge had a tv and dvd player and also a cd player. It also has a fridge. The bed was comfortable. We didn't use the swimming pool but sat in the very pleasant gardens at the back of the hotel. We walked into Canterbury centre which took us just over 10 minutes. Breakfast was very good. The quality and quantity were good. We would stay here again if in the area.'

'Small is beautiful and in The Thanington’s case it is. It was very refreshing to stay in a more individualised hotel. The Owner and his staff were very helpful and friendly. We stayed in the Canterbury Suite and it was worth the extra money. We had a separate lounge (with fridge). The bathroom was a really good size – didn’t realise until day 2 that you have to pull the cord by the door to get the main shower to work. It was very relaxing and peaceful to sit out in the garden at night. Breakfast was freshly made to order so was piping hot. In summary the Thanington delivers what big hotel chains cannot and that it a much more individualised service in a relaxing atmosphere. Thank you'

'We had a lovely 3-night stay at the Thanington Hotel for our first anniversary. We stayed in one of the '4-poster' rooms facing the front of the hotel and the park. We found the room comfortable and well-appointed with everything we needed for a lovely long weekend. The breakfast was great with lots of continental choices as well as the full English option. There is a lovely garden, pool and Koi pond in the center of the hotel that is a nice place to enjoy a drink after spending the day in Canterbury. What makes this place great, though, is the staff. Iain and Jenny and their staff were friendly, helpful, and went out of their way to make sure our anniversary was special! Thanks again, we will be back! R & R'

The accommodation was very acceptable and as our stay was in bright sunshine the provision of a fan was very welcome. Instant hot water, even first thing in the morning was noted. Breakfast was served efficiently and cooked excellently. The hotel was situated conveniently for the town and the provision of a categorised restaurant list was useful. A reserved car parking space was appreciated. Rating is 5 out of 5 (clicking on stars did not respond on my computer!).'
