Great value for money, good location, great first impression of hotel with very well up to the mark refurbished clean rooms, clean shower, very comfy bed, and we had service every day. Arrived from South Africa and it was just incredible walking into this beautiful surrounding atmosphere with the most friendly and helpful receptionist and all staff were very courteous, professional, no request for assistance was a problem for them. They were very attentive and went out of their way to ensure that we were comfortable. Booking a cab was very quick without any hassles or delay. Breakfast was excellent, service nice and fast. We requested for vegetable sausages, and that was organised in no time, really enjoyed the exotic biryani that was served. The very special caring service provided by both the Chefs was excellent, they always went the extra mile to make sure if everything was fine and if we required anything else, especially Chef Sunil. Real professionalism by the whole team of Holiday Inn Express, Canterbury. Thank you. We had a great stay, we will definitely be back, AND we would highly recommend this hotel.
