The property is centrally located, and the staff are helpful. The rooms leave a bit to be desired, but overall comfortable stay. The wifi (at least in our room) was unusable, on phones as well as the television in the room.

Magical Canterbury Retreat for Two

An excellent facility in the cathedral complex which was just what we wanted. We love the cathedral and it is so central to everywhere we wanted to go. At night the floodlit building is magical - photo is from our room window.

Nice hotel in great location in Cathedral grounds

Very nice hotel right in the grounds of the cathedral. Staff were excellent. Breakfast was very good. My only complaints are the directions to the hotel and parking arrangements both of which were a tor nightmare. Otherwise a very pleasant stay

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel staff and reception were amazing. Unfortunately, we could not say the same for the breakfast service. We had to ask twice (three times) for items we had ordered to be delivered to our table. We asked for coffee and no coffee was served. We asked for toast and no toast was provided. We asked for fruit and no fruit was provided. Until we reminded them we got the above items. We were polite and felt we were invisible. Three other tables were served before us and we arrived before them. To be fair the food and coffee was good. The room had a nice bed. The outside terrace was nice and the free entry to the Cathedral was a really nice touch. Loved the view and location.

Lovely service and great location! It was amazing to be so close to the cathedral. We would say however that the style of the hotel is a little outdated but that’s purely based on personal taste. The hotel was exceptionally clean and the garden overlooking the Cathedral was beautifully kept.

The Cathedral at your window! What a view at night

The best place to stay in Canterbury with breathtaking views of the Cathedral. The hotel is a nice place, very clean and a delicious breakfast. On the downsize the rooms are very small, mostly the Queen bed compared to American standard. The staff is helpfull but don't seem very profesional. Looks like they are on a learning capacity.

Liked: Amenities
This hotel is beautifully situated right by the cathedral and sympathetically built. Staff were all helpful and friendly. The breakfast is table service but service is prompt and the food of good quality. Lots of guests were reluctant to sit by the door (draughty!) and the tables for two were quite close together. We did not find the small beds comfortable and were disturbed both nights by noise from adjacent rooms and would say that the walls are quite thin. The rooms are fitted out in a corporate way and the bathrooms on the small side and flooring a little tired but extremely clean. I loved looking out over the gravel garden and the cathedral from the window seat.
