Reviews and Ratings
The hotel provided a spacious and well-equipped room, but noise from the seating area outside was a bit disruptive. The staff were very friendly and accommodating, especially during breakfast. The location was convenient to various attractions, though slightly further from the main high street than ideal. The dining options were satisfying, but a warmer spread would have been appreciated.
The Castle House Hotel is a cozy place with clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a great location, although there were some noise issues and road traffic. The dining experience was simple, and the breakfast options were not very satisfying.
I have to say, this hotel was a real gem! Walking distance to everything without breaking the bank. The rooms were surprisingly quiet, even in the heart of town. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate us, making sure my daughter had a comfy spot to stay for the night. However, it was quite hot in April; maybe they could use a bit more A/C, but overall, a great stay!
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel, with great service and a convenient location, although there were some issues with the room facing the road. The dining experience was nice but could be improved with more variety. The facilities were satisfactory overall.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel. The rooms were nice and cozy, although they could use some modernizing. The location was very convenient for exploring the city, but I would recommend it more for short stays. The staff was friendly and helpful, however, having only one person around on most mornings was a bit inconvenient. The dining options were basic, and I missed having a cooked breakfast.
I had a lovely stay at the hotel, situated in a bustling area close to the town center. The rooms were spacious, with a well-designed bathroom, but showing some signs of wear and tear. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially at reception. The location was convenient for exploring Canterbury, although the noise from the roundabout was noticeable. The dining options were satisfactory but could use some improvement. Overall, a decent hotel for the price.
