A lovely quirky hotel in an ideal location. It was spotless, comfortable and the staff were all very helpful. It was lovely to walk (safely!) across the roof to go to breakfast, admiring the view of the cathedral. The only downside was traffic noise but that is obviously to be expected if you stay in a hotel in the centre of a vibrant city.

The staff was very friendly and helpful, especially helping on the luggage because of no lift. The property is next door to the cathedral and restaurants are surrounded the property. The breakfast was fresh and very basic but you can pay extra to get English breakfast.

Very close to the cathedral. Despite that it is an old building, it is tidy and well-maintained. The room(old-style) was clean and tidy. The food was okay. It was quiet at night as the room was facing the cathedral. The surrounding area is nice and has a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs.

Five star service! A quirky 15th century timber framed building a stone’s throw from the Cathedral. Very welcoming and helpful staff, generous (complimentary bottled water and toiletries), tasty breakfast. Parking was easy with their anpr voucher system. Great value for money in the heart of Canterbury. Would happily stay her again.

Great location

Loved the location next to the cathedral and center of town. The room was fine, but was on the front street and was warm and loud with street noise at all hours. If you are a light sleeper ask for a room in the back. Great continual breakfast and helpful staff.

A unique stay in the heart of Canterbury. If you like to stay in accomodation that is not the usual hotel room you will enjoy this historic property. Right next to the Cathedral. Excellent breakfast. Clean and comfortable.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
This small, sweet hotel right next door to the cathedral is a lovely place to stay. It’s a bit quirky; there’s no elevator & the top rooms are up quite a few stairs. But my room was big and pretty, and the (included) breakfast was delicious. My room had a shared bath, but it was right next door, spotlessly clean, & only shared with one other room – really no problem. The staff is extremely nice and helpful – on my last afternoon, as I waited for a taxi, the fellow at the desk made me tea. I totally enjoyed staying here.

The hotel is located right in the city centre so it's great for sightseeing. Our room (en-suite) was of reasonable size for a long weekend. For a longer stay one would have wanted more cupboard and drawer space. The staff were very nice and we appreciated the free bottles of water by the reception. The continental breakfast delivered to the room was of good quality and plentiful. The only downside was the noise coming from the street below, especially on a hot summer night when one wants to keep the window open. Luckily the pubs close to the hotel closed at 11pm after which it was more tranquil.

Very cozy room, old building with uneven floors, right on the street next door to the Cathedral and close to everything, no air conditioning but a fan kept things cool, excellent staff at check-in, warned about possible overnight noise that didn’t exist, was offered a quiet room if desired, excellent breakfast provided by complimentary room service. Highly recommend
