Three night stay

Perfect location - walkable to every major attraction in Canterbury. It is an older building but it gives it charm! :) the continental breakfast was good. Overall, great stay and would 100% recommend this hotel to anyone.

Great Location friendly staff.

Lovely Hotel. Great location, very central. Sadly bed and pillows a bit hard for me.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Bekväma sängar, ostört läge och trevlig personal. Tyvärr fanns inte AC, vilket innebar jobbiga varma nätter, då det var väldigt vackert sommarväder under vår vistelse.

8/10 Very good

Very convenient and good value for money
John, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Friendly helpful staff, GREAT home baked pastries for breakfast and very convenient. Nice to stay in a hotel with a history. The sloping floors in the bedroom is a bit disconcerting

Jason, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Check in was difficult. No bar after 10.30.Was,accused of breaking a lamp after we had left. Reasonable breakfast.
Colin, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The location is in the no-cars zone, plan ahead carefully if you drive. The building is very old, as is to be expected for the area, but well maintained. Easy walking to all attractions and lots of dining options.
Mihail, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Charming old inn in a convenient spot, close to history and pubs.
Carol, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

Very overpriced for a pokey & worn room & very cramped overall-could barely get in the bathroom. Staff friendly but under-resourced - ie at times no one on reception,breakfast room or at the bar. Breakfast perfunctory offering & no service.

6/10 Good

The hotel is in a great location.
Bonnie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Funny smell in the bathroom. Annoying that breakfast was only continental, as it wasn’t obvious when I booked. If I’d known I’d have gone elsewhere for breakfast.

4/10 Fair

Whilst location was good, very difficult to get heavy luggage from car to hotel. Bollards blocking every street nearby. No instructions from hotel to assist. Staff member unhelpful

Invisible Breakfast Staff!

Breakfast was very poor. Self service but at no stage in the 45 minutes I was in the breakfast room did any staff member come and refill the milk jug, the fruit juice jugs or anything else for that matter,. Simply stated, there were no staff attending to breakfast!
