I had really high hopes for this stay, having never stayed in a Hilton before but knowing the name and the prestige it carried. Myself and my partner were looking forward to a quiet, restful stay, but it was very much the opposite. The staff were lovely and the room itself was fine in appearance, but I hadn't expected to hear the loud, pounding bass of music from the rooftop bar above from our room, which went on until very late both nights of our stay. The mattress was rock solid, so between the noise and the mattress, it ended up being very much the opposite of a restful, relaxing weekend. We both slept poorly as a result and I spent the weekend with considerable aches and pains, which really soured our trip. I mentioned the noise from the bar upon checking out, but didn't see much point in raising the issues during our stay, as it was likely both issues would not be resolved by being moved to a different room. We were not even on the floor directly below the bar, so I can imagine how much noiser it must have been for other patrons. It was a real shame, as otherwise we would have had a really nice weekend, and all of the staff we encountered were incredibly nice and helpful (and the issues mentioned would be things they would likely have very little ability to change). I'd definitely think twice about booking this hotel and while I can't do anything to change the bad weekend we had, I hope others don't make the same mistake.

Whilst this was our first visit to Canterbury, it certainly won't be the last. Staying at the Hampton Hilton was convenient and allowed us to enjoy the best the city has to offer. The breakfast was amazing and a perfect way to set you up for the day. Despite not havinv onsite parking, I would certainly be returning.

Great value in fantastic location.

Location is superb, staff are friendly, hotel is clean and nice. Despite reading reviews that said the beds were comfortable, we found ours in room 246 to be most uncomfortable - painfully hard. Apart from that it was lovely.
