Right next to Canterbury Cathedral, just downstairs is the church entrance. The location is great.
You can grab bottled water at the front desk and upgrade your room for free. The room facilities are good, except that there is no wifi, which I knew in advance.
Very old house, but not noisy.
I still think it’s a bit expensive, but accommodation in the UK is generally expensive, so I tolerate it.

The location is peaceful yet quiet. The front desk service makes you feel at home. The continental breakfast is healthy and nutritious. I will stay here again next time.

酒店就在教堂旁邊，所以早上還能聽到敲鐘。所以其實酒店不是我們想象中現代的樣子，它應該有漫長的歷史，木質地板，而且我們的房間甚至地面是傾斜的。然後太陽西曬，7月要到9點半才落山，房間沒有空調衹有電扇，真的超級熱！另外，這裏屬於步行街，車無法開上去，所以帶大件行李的盆友不太推薦
不過整體view非常棒，老闆和服務員都超級nice 。早飯的麥片雖然就是超市裡方便麥片，但吃飯的view也好好
各有利弊，看你選什麼吧，風景，還是現代化

Excellent accommodation in a historic building, very centrally located right next to the cathedral. Staff were welcoming and helpful. Good breakfast. Bedroom overlooking the street was a little noisy in the evening.

Cozy in Canterbury
Great location and friendly, helpful staff. Rob on the reception desk was particularly helpful giving suggestions of where to eat and what to do.
A rather quirky hotel spanning a number of different levels with a roof top walkway to some of the rooms. My room was small but adequate with a desk to work from. The bed was comfortable and the shower was one of the best I have experienced for a long time. Coffee making facilities were provided. I chose the buffet breakfast which, in my case, consisted of toast and porridge but there were other options available.
The only downside was the total lack of parking but the hotel has an agreement with one of the nearby public car parks which was a short walk away.
Great place to stay, I’d definitely go back there again.

This charming historic building has been skilfully adapted to create a hotel full of character. Apart from weak Wi-Fi in our room during a busy period, everything was excellent and the breakfast was outstanding.
