The hotel is ideally located within the Cathedral grounds, offering stunning views from the bedrooms and easy access to the main street. The staff is polite and professional, but finding the entrance might be a bit tricky. The dining experience is of high quality, although more fresh fruit would be a nice addition.

The hotel overlooks a beautiful garden with a fantastic view of the cathedral. The rooms, although quite small, were comfortable and immaculately clean.

The dining experience was very good with excellent choices, but it could have been better. The facilities were well-maintained and satisfactory overall.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms, though simple, were comfortable, clean, and had a lovely view of the cathedral. Climbing up the 4 flights of stairs to the room was a surprise, but the morning treat of the best breakfast ever made up for it. The service was superb, with friendly, helpful, and efficient staff urging us to enjoy a 'breakfast to go' from the buffet. The location was perfect for exploring Canterbury, offering lovely views of the cathedral and easy access to the high street. The only downside was the need for remodeling in my opinion. Dining was a mix of good and could-be-better, with some fantastic options alongside room for improvement. Overall, a delightful experience with some minor room for enhancement.

I had an incredible stay at this hotel. The room had a fantastic view and was very nicely appointed, although it was a little warm during the night. Despite some cleanliness issues like finding pubic hair on the toilet and cobwebs hanging from the ceiling, it was overall clean and had a lovely window seat to enjoy the view. The service was a mix of some shortcomings like staff looking at their watches during breakfast but still helpful and friendly overall. The location is unbeatable in Canterbury, right in the heart of the city, and the dining experience was delightful, offering varied choices and delicious food.

The view of the cathedral was stunning with minimal scaffolding present, unlike on a previous visit.

The location was unbeatable, providing access to the Cathedral at no extra charge, making it a truly enjoyable experience. The dining experience was delightful, offering a good variety of well-presented and tasty dishes in a tranquil setting.

The hotel had disabled en-suite facilities in the rooms, which was a plus for wheelchair accessibility, but the room size didn't quite justify the trip cost. The service was outstanding with recommended restaurants and a welcoming drink, making our stay pleasant overall. The location within the cathedral walls felt secure and special, though access was within a pass-controlled security area. The dining experience offered a lovely selection, despite some minor setbacks like dried-up food under heat lamps. The facilities were satisfactory, catering to our needs during the stay.
