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

4/10 Fair

The room was snall and extremely hot. No air conditioning. Was provided with a fan tgat had to be let on all night a d still tge room was uncomfortable. Breakfast consisted of a few ftuit juices water, ti. Tinned peaches, tinned grapefruit and tinned cherries. Selection of cereals along with over ripe tangerines and bananas. The only warm option on offer was toast. In adfition my room was shabby and uncomfortable. I would not recommend this hotel.

This is a relatively old style hotel, but staff were absolutely fantastic, helping me sort out phone issues etc. The breakfast was a good continental breakfast, and I was not expecting to have breakfast. The building is really well located in a buzzing part of town, but probably is in need of a bit of a refurb. I was a bit pissed to care!!

Alright-ish, but i won't use this hotel again
Tiny single room, with no chair, but good ensuite with bath and shower. Very noisy, with people noisily passing by right outside the room, with a door banging constantly, until late at night. Paper thin walls - man in next room was snoring all night very audibly. Too expensive for such a small room. Tables in breakfast room very obviously hadn't been wiped properly on both my mornoings - sticky ring marks everywhere.

Non opening window made for a very poor sleep
The room was fine - but the window only opened 2 inches and the room was really hot. Made for a very uncomfortable nights sleep as it was so hot.

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.

Good hotel choice
Great location. Walk straight out to high st and 2 minutes from cathedral. Had to park in one of car parks 5 minutes walk away as none close. 2.70 hour or at hotel £14 gives you 24 hours and can drive in and out of carpark as much as you like. Lovely spacious rooms

8/10 Very good

A very convenient hotel for Canterbury city centre and only 30 yards from the Marlow theatre. Reception staff were pleasant and helpful. The building is hundreds of years old and as expected the stairs to the upper floors need to be taken with care & there did not appear to be a lift. Our room was clean and comfortable with all necessary amenities. One small addition would be a hand held shower hose in addition to the ceiling unit above the bath. We will certainly stay again.

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

Great centrally located hotel. Friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Good continental breakfast. Steep narrow stairs (expected in old buildings). I would definitely recommend.
