    great stay with minor room comfort issues

    The staff offered exceptional 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.

    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 delightful stay! The quirky charm of the old building was enchanting, and the breakfast spread was outstanding, 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!

    We loved our stay! 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!

    cozy room
    spotless bathroom
    unique vibe
    uneven floors
    challenging access

    The room was cozy and charming, with a comfortable bed and spotless bathroom. Loved the quirkiness from the uneven floors. It was a bit of an adventure getting there through the stairs and roof terrace, which might not suit everyone. a unique vibe, especially being right next to the Cathedral! the sound of the bells was pretty cool, but definitely not for a daytime nap!

    exceptional service
    dated decor

    great stay with small room issues

    The spaciousness of our room made our stay very enjoyable, especially with the lovely view it offered. Monica gave us exceptional service, going above and beyond to make us feel special throughout our visit.

    The room felt a bit dated in some areas.
