Just meters from Canterbury’s medieval West Gate, this charming building dates back to 1403. The former coaching inn now offers free WiFi and limited parking for hotel residents on a first come first serve basis (please note we can not reserve any parking spaces). All just 2 minutes walk from the city center.
The Falstaff still retains many original features, including oak beams and an open log fire. Each room has a TV for guests to use and facilities for making tea and coffee. Ironing facilities are available free of charge on request.
The hotel offers a full English breakfast combined with continental self-service buffet. The cocktail bar offers a range of Classic and Signature cocktails along with a selection of local beers, wines and spirits.
Canterbury West Rail Station is a 3 minute walk from the building. The city’s spectacular Norman cathedral can be reached in less than 10 minutes on foot.
Couples particularly like the location — they rated it 9.6 for a two-person trip.
“Location: this hotel is central but away from the High Street. Frankly, the ‘ambiance’ at weekends can be grim (drunk etc), so the Falstaff is good. Also there’s parking and a really good area for meeting friends for coffee or a drink. Mostly...”
