Ok, I had the pleasure of staying here a couple of nights. The first night (a Saturday and a lot…read moremore expensive) was paid for by the company and I paid for the second night. This place isn't cheap (averaging a £100 a night). The location, on Canterbury's high street, was excellent. My room was quite pleasant. The view (of a corrugated roof) wasn't exactly inspiring. Tea-making facilities are available in the room along with a few top-grade cookies and organic tea. The bed was comfortable but the height of it and the placement of the television (at a little over bed-height) when combined with my double chin made TV viewing a little uncomfortable. Poor planning. Breakfast was very nice. However, not without some problems. On the first day we went down at 10am expecting that half an hour would be plenty of time. Due to the slow service by the time our breakfast had arrived they had started clearing away the buffet items. My full English breakfast wasn't as full as it could have been. I only had one fried egg and there was no black pudding (kaszanka). Not that I am particularly fond of black pudding, but I would like to get some. I suspect I had been given someone else's break. Oh, the toast was burnt too. When I am staying in a classy hotel I expect them not to burn my toast. Breakfast on the second day was more agreeable, I arrived early to ensure I was able to take advantage of the buffet. The hotel's cocktail bar was very nice. The first night I had an egg nog and for a nightcap a banana rumba drink. Not cheap at ten pounds a shot. But, hey, I wasn't paying Checking out was a pain. The girl had trouble understanding that I wanted separate bills for each night's stay. I gave up in the end.

Plus, Patisserie Valeri across the street has some of the best pastries i've ever had. -The rooms were nice, a good size and modern.

The fish & chips place next door on the other side has wonderful fish & chips too! Quirky, cute, and comfortable - the room has everything you need. Best thing about this hotel is Robert who was absolutely fabulous! He went above and beyond - from giving us the recommendation to go to the evening choir service at the Cathedral to waking up super early for our departure to help us with our luggage and give us some breakfast to go. No there is no elevator but honestly all the positives make up for it and this is the only place I will stay whilst in Canterbury. Highly recommend!

The rooms could do with better ventilation and power showers (the water pressure is too low and Canterbury has hard, calcified water, so washing long hair is kind of a nightmare). Note that there is no elevator. But knowing Canterbury, feel lucky that it even has showers at all and not just a bath. Seriously. The price is right for a no-frills stay, even if some of the walls look like they have already seen a lot of abuse. Travelodges don't exactly attract the best clientele - ahem - but I'd definitely stay again over some of the horrific B&Bs and overpriced hotels you can find in Kent.

I go to the Ebury Hotel Restaurant about once a month because it's amazing: simple as that. It's…read morethe best restaurant in Canterbury. I appreciate fine food with fresh ingredients and extraordinary taste combined into harmonious combinations and if i go to a 'good restaurant': that is what I expect to get: you want that too? Go to the Ebury. Often I go to mediocre restaurants and pay 15-20 pounds for a 2/3 course meal (per head). You can get a 3 course meal at the Ebury for 25 pounds and I'm telling you it's worth it. I'm vegetarian so the starters such as Goats Cheese with butternut squash and walnut salad and Warm Leek Tart for main course always go down well; but my carnivorous companions are often treated to Kentish Duck Breast, Beef Bourguignon, Fillet Steak or Dover Sole: always with imaginative sauces, ingredients and flair. The ambience is gentle and beautifully decorated in a large hotel on the Old Dover Road with a large landscaped garden (even indoor swimming pool!!) and private bar/seating area. No loud music or plastic decor: this place is bona fide it doesn't need to be pretentious it is what it is namely: excellent and the staff service/original decor complement the top quality food. I go to restaurants in France, London and the rest of Canterbury: as far as all round judgement goes this is the best I know of yet, granted it has not got the Parisian buzz of Montmartre or the price tag of a Gordon Ramsey; but the food is top class as is the service and if all you people who don't know about it went there - It would have that buzz too!!! It's sitting there waiting for you. Since the restaurant is attached to a large successful hotel, it does not need to be busy, so it will be sat there waiting for you whether you folks choose to go or not - but it's your loss if you don't; especially if you ever miss the Chef Jean Pierre's amazing cheese cake. Even if you're in London you should make the effort to go: it really is that good, and chill out in their expansive garden with a G&T on a balmy summer evening I just can't sing this places praises enough: a hidden gem; like those amazing hidden away restaurants you find 'family owned' by chance when you are abroad. This place is family owned too: for 2 generations. I'm 30 and often go with friends of mine in the same age bracket, as groups or in pairs. Often when i go there the place is frequented by people of anywhere between 40-80; but as a slighter younger group we had a good time and laughed and talked for several hours: walking in the garden between courses. If you like fast food; don't go to this restaurant. If you like getting drunk and loud music: don't go to this restaurant. If you think getting ripped off is paying 25 pounds for 3 courses of top quality fresh ingredients cooked by a highly trained talented French chef and served by highly trained catering staff (Manager was trained in London along with head waiter) - go and get a Pizza/Ceasar salad for 15 pounds instead in one of the high street chains: I know most people do. But if you appreciate top quality French/British cuisine with good sized portions for a reasonable price, in a restaurant with a huge beautiful garden and amazing staff: what are you waiting for???? Come on people wake up to the Ebury experience.. See you there.

The service very friendly…read more We were moved here from the Pilgrims Hotel near the middle of the old town, since that hotel was undergoing renovations beyond schedule, and these are two of four hotels owned by the same people. At first we were a little bummed to be away from the middle, especially because we had to lug our bags all the way over from Pilgrims to Castle House. But in the end we were happy with the hotel. The somewhat remote location made us walk more and explore things that we otherwise probably wouldn't have found. I believe the pricing is similar to Pilgrims, which is quite reasonable.

My only complaint, which isn't the fault of the hotel, is the noise. Lots of noise late in the evening either from the bar or the street foot traffic. Several people rolling at at 1:00am after several pints. The hotel is just off of the city center which is great in many respects. For people on foot or bike it is fantastic, if you're driving a car, not as much. Route to the hotel is challenging with a car. Also no onsite parking. Car park is an extra $15USD.
