I stayed here for 3 days and it was glorious. The manager greeted me on arrival, asking if I had had a good journey. I was immediately aware that reception was beautiful and clean. I was shown to the room where I was teaching and it was lovely and bright, clean and all ready for my delegates. Fresh cold water, tea, coffee was all there. My room was brilliant. Spacious, the bed super comfy ( I could have lived in that bed!), pillows so so fluffy. The bathroom was spotless and the shower was impressive. I was worried as I forgot my sleep band but even though my room was near the A2, I had a really good sleep and woke up refreshed. Dinner was delicious, fresh, lovely flavour and honestly the staff could not do enough for me. Breakfast was a joy. Hot cooked food, cereals, tea, coffee etc….. Each and every member of staff were polite, friendly, respectful and extremely professional. I sincerely hope I return here in the future. It was a complete joy to stay here.

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.

Where do I begin… The welcome was the warmest and kindest greeting we have ever come across. The Indian lady (I am so sorry I didn’t catch your name) was such a highlight to our very long day ! She was helpful, warm, kind, joyful and her professionalism was the best we have ever seen. We are use to staying in 5 star hotels and she is by far the best we have ever had the pleasure to meet. The room was very clean and immaculate. Everything was perfect. The breakfast has a nice and simple variety from fruits, yogurts, bread, croissant and a cooked breakfast. The Indian chef was so sweet and kind, he made us feel very comfortable and gave us the best experience. Such a delightful gentleman ! We even sat down to have a meal one evening on our first night and I had a lasagna and my wife had a chicken filet. It was actually quite tasty and great value for money. I am always one to find faults in a place but this establishment is just absolutely wonderful !!!! All the staff greet you with a great smile and with such genuine kindness. Thank you to all the staff, we are sooooo grateful for the most amazing stay we’ve ever had. Rachel and Aynura

I honestly don’t think I’ve visited a hotel, budget or otherwise, that was as welcoming and accommodating. We travelled with our 3 year old (a notorious picky eater) who after a long day was tired and a little bit stroppy. Dila went out of her way to make a fuss of him, brought him some chocolate and generally made him feel special. She is an absolute credit to the place. The chef was also great and made our 3 year old plain pasta with grated cheese when we asked if it was possible. Lots of smiles from the staff and they genuinely seemed interested in talking to their guests. Hotel was clean, and a great location, 15 minutes in to Whitstable or Canterbury roughly. Good food, although would say a little pricey for what it was. Breakfast was very busy (but, we were at peak time on a Sunday, so not surprising) and food was hot and replenished quickly. Given it's so close to the main road, traffic noise was not an issue at all. Thoroughly impressed with what was in reality, a pretty cheap stay.
