Reviews and Ratings
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 service was exceptional as the staff went out of their way to be helpful at all times. The unbeatable location, just opposite the cathedral, made it an enjoyable experience. The dining experience was very good with excellent choices, but it could have been better. The facilities were well-maintained and satisfactory overall.
I was thrilled with the tastefully decorated room that offered a fantastic view of the cathedral. Upon entering, the convenient location and wonderful view delighted me, although the room showed signs of being a little tired.
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.
My stay at the hotel was like being in a charming bed and breakfast with spacious rooms offering everything needed for a comfortable night. The view of the cathedral was stunning with minimal scaffolding present, unlike on a previous visit. The service was top-notch, with helpful and friendly staff, though one member's actions led to a friend leaving the group. 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.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were simple and comfortable enough for a short stay, but lacking in space and seating. On the upside, the breakfast offered a nice variety, and the dining room was set in beautiful garden spaces.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, with clean and comfortable rooms boasting a lovely view of the cathedral. The service was exceptional, offering real decaffeinated coffee and proper muesli for breakfast. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of Canterbury city center. Dining options were excellent, with a variety of choices for breakfast. Overall, a great value for a memorable experience.
I had a wonderful stay at the hotel in the heart of the town center. The rooms were excellent, spacious, and offered great views. The central location was perfect for exploring the city, and the delicious breakfast and convenient car parking made my visit even more enjoyable.
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.
Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms offered lovely views of the cathedral and were comfy with good amenities, despite being located on the top floor accessed by some narrow stairs. The service was stunning, and the location, right next to Canterbury Cathedral, was amazing. The dining experience exceeded expectations with a variety of options.
