This charming historic building has been skilfully adapted to create a hotel full of character. Apart from weak Wi-Fi in our room during a busy period, everything was excellent and the breakfast was outstanding.

This was a wonderful place for a mid-week stay in Canterbury. The location cannot be surpassed -- standing next to the gates to the Cathedral. It's accessible to all kinds of places. The staff is attentive, kind, and helpful. My bedroom was clean with a good bed. The breakfast was wonderful. This is an old hotel that is high on charm. Not everyone may appreciate the slanting floors and mutiple staircases. But if you want to stay at a historic inn, this is a wonderful option. Will return again.

Lovely city centre hotel, great staff and service. Very quirky, but charming 1860's building with wonky flooring and a maze of corridors. We found it interesting.

Great location, but noisy for the same reason
Great location. Noise was terrible - no double-glazing and a lot of people shouting outside throughout the night.

Great reception by Monica who made us feel most welcome. Hotel itself a little tired but characterful… staff had no uniform so not easy to identify. Room was via an outside walkway but quiet; so slept well.
