Good location, friendly staff, bar area was nice but not much atmosphere, it was really quiet, we were the only family sitting in the bar area but that may have been down to the fact that it was a Sunday night. Rooms were bigger than expected which was nice! The parking was a bit of a pain as we arrived earlier around 11am. When we checked in we had to go back to the car park and pay for the hours we had already stayed, then we had to drive out and back in the car park to start the 24hr parking at the discounted rate with the hotel. This was just a little inconvenient but not the end of the world as it was only a short walk from the hotel. Overall we had a lovely stay and would stay again.

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.

The hotel is 5 mins from the cathedral and right on the high street, so getting to all the nearby attractions are easy. Hotel is clean and comfortable. Staffs are friendly and helpful. I used the park and ride for 2 days costing less than half of 24 hours parking.

Cosy room in old building. In the listing it did say the room was small. Be aware that the stairs are steep and some quirks in the room lighting and shower controls. Very pleasant staff and good continental style breakfast. We had a pleasant stay and it was good value for money

I booked the cheapest room, it was small but cosy on this cold December night. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was spotless so was very pleased. Breakfast included was continental and a very nice buffet was laid out with lots of different food to choose from. Staff were very friendly and helpful but not intrusive. Overall great value, enjoyed my stay and highly recommend.

This hotel is very quaint and comfortable. Our room was very small and we had to walk up two flights of very narrow stairs, however the building is from the 16th century and it is in the description. The location is perfect, its about a 10 minute walk from Canterbury West and is right by the high street.

Pleasant little Hotel

Staff were really helpful, polite. The hotel was a beautiful old building. My room was to the front and there was a bit of noise from people passing late at night and vans early in the morning. Might disturb persons who are light sleepers Really nice hotel and modern bar. Breakfast was a good selection continental

Room was small, but we were aware of this when booking. Only place to sit was on the bed. Not an issue if you are out all day. Staff excellent and very friendly. Adequate continental breakfast. Would certainly use the hotel in the future.
