The room was absolutely stunning and the actual hotel is itself it lovely! What an amazing old building! That being said the staff although attentive & doing their job could have a little bit more of a friendly approach, no one was rude or anything like that, but also being greeted without so much as a smile is a bit bizarre. Would definitely stay again & recommend!

Second stay here at the Falstaff in Canterbury, my favourite hotel in town, gorgeous rooms, lovely staff, and the free cheese and biscuits during happy hour can't be understated. Also you can tell a lot of a place in what they think of their customers by the quality of the bathrooms and the soap they use, The Falstaff exceeds all expectations, thanks for another wonder stay.

Lovely old Inn, room at the top of the main building was spotless. Bar and lounge areas great for a drink. Staff all very friendly. Breakfast excellent. Only downsides were lack of evening food options and pricey car parking.
