The hotel has a high standard of cleanliness. Staff are helpful and friendly. The room for 3 is pleasant but very cramped. The addition of Fairtrade tea, coffee, sugar would be brilliant - and Fairtrade chocolate and bananas too, please!
2.0 / 5.0
Pleasantly surprised at how nice the staff and service was. However, being charged £3 for parking as an additional cost seemed ridiculous. Also, the room was horrendously noisy from the road!..should have better soundproofing/double glazing.. tho i would say the breakfast was very nice

The hotel was clean and bright. The reception staff were friendly and helpful. This is my second at this hotel and both visits were great and I would recommend to anyone.

One of the best Holiday Inn Express Hotels I've stayed in - the staff were amazing, extremely pleasant, efficient & spoke to every guest. A big shout out to the chef, I was very surprised at how good the food was - make sure you try the sweet potato & chickpea curry - delicious. I would highly recommend this place.

Great location, 10 minutes to Canterbury, very quiet, great staff - they couldn't do enough for us, greeted us like friends every morning.
Would definitely book this place again if in the area - fabulous stay for 4 nights after a 30 hour flight from Australia.

Great hotel. I have always been a fond user of Holiday Inn Express all over UK. Parking plentiful not happy we have to pay to use the hotel carpark in addition thats a first for me. Check in easy, room as expected, bar nice and clean. Didnt eat dinner but breakfast was great. Absolutely will stick with Holiday Inn express hotels.

Hotel is great, staff are brilliant.
Only downside is the parking.... There are serious restrictions. Be very careful about parking and sticking to terms and conditions..... To avoid a fine...
If you have a larger vehicle no chance of parking in the small space6

Good stay, would have been a lot more enjoyable if we had been made aware in advance that the road right outside the hotel was being shut during our stay. This led to added to our journey time and was very inconvenient.

We stayed here on our way to Dover ferry port. We were very impressed with the staff who were all very helpful. We had to leave early to catch our ferry and were very impressed that the staff let us take some pastries in to go bags and coffees in our flasks from the breakfast buffet!

I rang Expedia to ask if we could cancel our second night as member of family is unwell. They rang manager who said no. This hotel Sides onto A2 if you get the wrong room it can keep you awake. We were asked if we wanted to move the second night. It meant we had to pack up as my husband isn’t good with mobility decided to stay as we were going home the next day. Also it costs £3.a night for parking.

Was woken by a fire alarm set off by people cooking in their room.
Rang reception 3 times during the night to complain about noise from rowdy people who were drunk standing below the room, last call at 04.30 no action taken. Drunken man trying to get into several rooms on our floor in the early hours of the morning. Numerous guests woken up and in the corridor trying to get rid of the drunk.

Team were very friendly and rooms were clean. Beds are small doubles so a poor nights sleep if you are over 5ft 7”. Noisy outside and rooms are not soundproofed so you can hear talking, alarms etc.

Old and cramped room for 3 people. Noisy hallway. No elevator in the building and no rooms were available on main floor. The staff did carry our luggage up to our room. Staff were relatively friendly but I would not stay here again.

Only downside is getting in and out of the hotel grounds

Nice place to stay, but next to busy road. Also had to pay for parking
2.0 / 5.0
The beds are not the usual Holiday Inn Express size, they're 4ft 6, which is tight for most couples. The windows also really need replacing, they don't really prevent any noise being heard from outside, which is ridiculous in a hotel a few yards from a 70mph carriageway. There is also no lift, so do be careful booking here if you're not able to lug your suitcase up a flight of stairs!
There is only 2 good things about this hotel, the breakfast is a much better standard than most Holiday Inn Express breakfasts, and the staff really do provide world class customer service. I've stayed in a huge amount of hotels over the years and the staff at this hotel are the 2nd best I've ever experienced in my life. They really deserve a better hotel to work with, I hope IHG give them it before they lose some of their very best staff and some customers too.
