“Castle House Hotel's location and free parking are genuine assets in Canterbury. The historic architecture, dating back to the 1730s, is charming, and the staff clearly prioritize cleanliness and service. In my opinion, upgrading the breakfast ingredients would significantly elevate the guest experience, but the hotel's core strengths remain compelling.”
