"The kids absolutely loved the swimming pool and were thrilled that they had the pool to themselves."
"The staff opened the pool for us in the morning for a swim before we left - a nice pool for the 4 of us to get a bit of swimming exercise."
"The addition of a small but fairly shallow pool was very welcome along with a lovely compact garden area to sit in."

“Thanington Hotel strikes me as a balanced choice for Canterbury. Its indoor pool is a distinctive amenity, and the 18th-century building offers a touch of history. I think the hotel's pet-friendly stance and diverse breakfast options will appeal to many, especially families.”

My stay at the Canterbury Hotel was overall pleasant, with a lot of positive aspects like the spacious room and friendly staff. However, the breakfast didn't quite impress me compared to other places I've visited, and I did have some issues with maintaining a comfortable temperature in my room. 🌟

Being conveniently located within walking distance from Canterbury East Station was a plus, though I found it a bit far from the main town area when walking in. Taxis were often necessary for a quicker trip into the city.

Breakfast was a bit underwhelming. The options seemed limited, and the quality could've been better. I counted only five mushrooms on my plate, which felt a bit lacking for a full English.
