    great stay with minor room comfort issues

    The staff offered really good service, particularly the young lady who checked us in and served breakfast. The location is prime for shopping and sightseeing, right next to the iconic cathedral.

    Room comfort could be improved for a better overall experience.

    Very lovely stay, no complaint, we would be happy to recommend. It's a unique place with so very friendly staff and airy rooms. The setting is amazing and perfect, close to the cathedral, the centre of Canterbury and shops and coffes and restaurants.

    shaded courtyard
    cozy lounge
    missing juice option

    We had a lovely stay, enjoying the charming courtyard where we sipped our morning coffee and the cozy lounge perfect for unwinding after a day of exploring. There was a great little garden area for a peaceful escape, and the room was quirky yet comfortable, adding to the hotel's unique vibe. The only minor thing was missing a fruit juice option at breakfast, but the continental spread was more than enough! 😊

    I had such a good stay! The quirky charm of the old building was enchanting, and the breakfast spread was excellent, especially the fruit salad and freshly baked croissants. I loved the little roof terrace where we enjoyed drinks overlooking the cathedral.

    Perfect spot in historic Canterbury!

    The location is fantastic, right near the cathedral and cute cafes. The breakfast was awesome, especially the fresh fruit salad. Staff were super friendly and even helped with our bags. Only bummer was the stairs. They were a bit tricky with our stroller. A charming place!

    Charming, Charming, Charming

    I had the most enchanting stay! The quirky corridors of this historic hotel led me to a cozy twin room with an very nice view of the cathedral. Each morning, I savored a good continental breakfast, with a vibrant fruit salad that was almost too pretty to eat!

    do recommend 🥰🌟
