Holiday Inn Express Canterbury

Nice place for visiting Canterbury! The breakfast is great, a good way to start the day!!

We have just returned from a lovely couple of days here. The friendly welcome was a great start and all the staff we met were welcoming and friendly. We thought the evening meals were exceptional for this type of hotel and the included breakfast was very good too. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and it was a good base for our trips to Dover Castle and Canterbury Cathedral. If we need accommodation in this area we will certainly return. Well done to the managers and the whole team.

I brought my elderly mum for a weekend visiting Whistable and Canterbury - the hotel staff are lovely - they changed our room so it was more accessible. The food is really good and the customer service is excellent 👍. They're really adaptable for families with young children and elderly people.

This hotel is one of the best hotels we've ever stayed in. I'm a housekeeper and I've stayed in many places around the world. This hotel is very clean and the rooms and beds are extremely comfy. The staff here make the place. They are all friendly, chatty and helpful. They remember who you are and they feel like family. We stayed 2 nights for an army funeral at Canterbury cathedral and everything was fantastic. The breakfast was really good and hot. All the containers were refilled constantly. The coffee was delicious. We ate here on 1 evening and the food was exceptional. It was hot and of a reasonable price too. You have to pay £3 a day to park but we didn't find that expensive. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone and if we are ever back in Canterbury I'd 100% come back.

The staff of this hotel is just the best, so helpful, caring and friendly. Nothing ever seemed too much bother and they constantly offered help and assistance and remembered our circumstances. The bed was very comfortable and we slept well. The traffic on the busy road outside was hardly noticeable and didn’t bother us at all. We could have done with a little bit more storage space as we were there for 8 nights but if a room is booked for transit to and from Europe (as most people surely do) it probably doesn’t matter. Breakfast was very good, all food containers were constantly refilled with freshly cooked or prepared items. Coffee was excellent, as was the orange juice which often I don’t drink in hotels when I find it’s only sugar water. We had dinner there twice and the food was excellent.

Staff were friendly and welcoming. Location is a little tricky, right on the highway. They charge for parking, which makes no sense as they are not in town. Breakfast was good. Definitely not the nicest HIE that I’ve been to. Pretty convenient to a park-n-ride, which is definitely the easiest and cheapest way to tour the town.

Very pleasant 2 night stay, a little cramped in the room with a sofa bed for our boys, but room and hotel were very clean. Great breakfast with attentive and friendly staff, including the manager. Great base for Canterbury, we also visited Whitstable around 30 mins and Leeds castle around 30 mins

Easy location for exploring Dover and Canterbury area right off the highway. Staff were very kind and care about your experience and kept asking how they can help. The free breakfast was amazing and so many options. The room was clean and large and we slept really well. You do have to pay 3 pounds for parking.

Spot on hotel, you know exactly what you'll get with HIE and this is no different. Perfect place to stay if using for overnight stay close to Eurotunnel. Excellent breakfast and good parking options. Rooms are small but ok. Tea and coffee options in room.
