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

The positives were that it was an amazing location, great staff who were very helpful at check-in, great breakfast and staff were friendly and the rooms were lovely. Being on the front of the hotel, although earplugs were provided (which is a good thought) I am unable to wear them so was woken up a few times with passers-by late at night talking loudly and early deliveries. We did have an option on arrival to go to the back of the hotel for a quieter room but the bathroom door wouldn't open. The other back bedroom was a twin room but the staff were happy to change over to a double if we wanted but we thought the front would have been ok. Unfortunately if you have some mobility issues there may be a problem with stairs to rooms and the front room had less stairs.

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

Little Gem Hotel is perfectly located. Views of the cathedral from some of the rooms are SPECTACULAR. The building is ancient and quirky but beautifully kept up and spotless. Plenty of bathrooms for rooms that share them. Friendly front desk. Continental breakfast, which is included, is great. If you are looking for something that feels historic and more like a B&B with charm rather than a hotel — and don’t have mobility issues — don’t stay anywhere else.
