great location but noisy bathroom

The room facilities were good with a lovely mini bar to enjoy special drinks. The continental breakfast was a nice touch and provided a good start to the day.

The Maserator in the bathroom was quite disruptive.

Charming historic atmosphere

I really enjoyed my stay in this lovely historic hotel, where the beautiful wooden beams and quirky room designs added to the charm. The complimentary breakfast with fresh pastries was a delightful touch, and the staff were exceptionally welcoming, sharing fascinating stories about the hotel's history. the noise from the lively tapas restaurant below could be disruptive at times.

The Sun is a hidden gem with top-notch food nearby! Don't miss The Shakespeare Restaurant for a delightful dinner. And the location? Spot on for wandering the cobbled streets of Canterbury!

Mind the noise on weekend nights. it’s quite a raucous scene until the early hours! the no-parking situation can be a bother, but the walkable car parks are just a hop away.
