GreatStayed with family
We didn’t really use any of the hotel amenities. We were there only one night and just slept there. I didn’t realize though that there was no air conditioning and of course it was a heat wave happening and there was no elevator. The staff was very helpful with carrying our 4 pieces of luggage up some very step stairs to our room. We left at 4am, so we did not use the free breakfast.

Great Be careful, it’s easy to accidentally book a room with SHARED bathroom facilities! This place is so charming but the rooms facing the main street are LOUD with young men yelling well until 11pm or so. Getting to the hotel can be tricky as well. Need to go past bollards into the pedestrian zone. No a/c no elevator and the parking lot is public and a few blocks away but reasonable. Breakfast is minimal, no eggs…

This is a fantastic hotel for a visit to Canterbury. Absolutely central to everything you come to Canterbury to see, but has the added bonus of being a hotel you look forward to coming back to at the end of the day. It feels like coming home. The staff, the ambience, the furnishing seem designed to create a feeling of welcome. Ask the staff about it's history as well. It's been here even longer than the Cathedral Gate that anchors it. Highly recommend if you like hotels that are story worthy. I'll definitely return.

This wonderful hotel has so much character, including slanting floors in some rooms. The staff were fantastic and extremely helpful. Located central to everything you could want to see.

Amazing location, right in the centre of Canterbury, actually built into the cathedral gate. We were made to feel really welcome by all the staff. Given a choice of rooms and early check-in. Very interesting building with lots of steps and wonky floors, would not recommend if you are infirm.
Room had a wonderful view of the cathedral, but was very quiet. Lovely hot and powerful shower. Room and all shared areas were clean and well decorated, carpets clean too.
Breakfast was really good, it was continental plus! Good fruit fresh salad, porridge and croissants were amazing. Coffee was strong and fresh, orange juice excellent too, all quality products
