AndrewUnited KingdomGreat central location
Great location to attend our daughter’s graduation at the nearby Cathedral.
Nothing to say against the hotel. Amazing building, so quirky and steeped in history
RoyUnited KingdomGreat location, nice breakfast
Very difficult to find the entrance. Had to ring to find it was next door with a very small sign outside a different property
DaveUnited KingdomOne minute from the Cathedral will everything Canterbury has to offer within a short walk.
Location and quirkiness were great.
All was lovely.
NickUnited KingdomCute for an over night stay but small and could be noisy
Great city centre location, clean tidy. Nice shower. Shower gel container was missing and soap
Dispenser was empty by the sink
Very small for a double, very hot with no air con. Tiny hanging space and no additional…
MichaelGermanyGood
Nice cosy room
Nobody at reception when we left . Didn’t know where to leave the keys so left it on a notepad at the counter of the bar .
AlvesUnited KingdomA good hotel; but its facilities and amenities need more attention.
This was our second time at the hotel. The location is great and we like its old-fashioned style.
But we had problems with the TV, with the Jacuzzi (it wasn't working), and with the Kettle; which also wasn't working.
