I had to travel to Canterbury at the last minute, after lots of research i could only find rooms at the Holiday inn express as it was a bank holiday weekend, all other hotels in the area were fully booked. Hotel was easy to find, i wasn't expecting much from this hotel, but i was pleasantly surprised as the room... more

The great thing about EBHI is you know what you will get - clean no nonsense rooms, a shower that works, adequate car parking and a basic but filling breakfast. The Canterbury one is no exception. A little outside the city, but at les than £100 for four of us over a weekend we were happy to accept this. Dover,... more

I wasnt expecting a great deal having seen previous reviews but for what we required for a 1 night stay, it was spot on. Yes, it is behind a petrol station, but you cant actually see it from the hotel - and convenient if you need petrol! Yes, it is on a busy main road, but that made it very... more

Needed a hotel at short notice which was close to Ramsgate for an early morning sailing to Belgium. The hotel is tucked away behind the Texaco Garage on A2 near Canterbury, it is quite difficult to find. Arrived at the hotel about 10pm, the check in took about 5 minutes. The room itself was larger than average with usual features... more

I have stayed at this hotel for months from Oct 2007 until the present day. Why because I collect Priority Club points and it was convenient. Staff really nice. Maintenance of hotel a disaster. For a year I fill in the questionnaire reminding them but obviously nobody reads them as the stair treads are still broken after a year. Platinum... more

This hotel is a great way to spend the night before an early morning ferry to France because it's only a 10 minute drive from Dover. As Express-by-Holiday-Inns go, this is a good one, clean, comfortable and very friendly staff. The car park is well illuminated and safe, if you're loaded up as we usually are. We drove into Whitstable... more

Convenient (if you have a car) HI Express with friendly staff. Breakfast not quite as good as other HI Express hotels, no rolls, no Special K. Controls for toaster blocked off, it ran too cool. Guests are not trusted to be capable of adjusting a toaster. It's reasonably priced for the area, comfortable and clean. On the plus side it... more

We booked this hotel direct and could cancel up until 4pm on day of check in. We arrived at the hotel was was impossible to find and we didnt realise when booking that it was located at a services on the motorway! We were very disapointed! This was unexpected as we wanted a hotel where we could walk into cantebury... more

We stayed at the Holiday Express last Thursday night (one of the hottest of the year with temperature of 30). The air-conditioning on entering the hotel was very welcoming but this did not extend to the bedrooms which were very hot although fans were provided in the rooms. The bed-linen was spotless, white cotton and the shower room and toilet... more
