"Disappointing. For £180/night, I would expect a better standard and a cleaner room."

5.0

Amazing characterful property.

Room was cold, no heating till requested. No hot water in the morning. No batteries in the tv remote. Bathroom extractor fan didn’t work. One of the two bathroom lights didn’t work. Cobwebs in the window. Holes in the carpet. Bath side panel coming off.

"Exceeded my expectations. Will be glad to return."

9.0

It is very near Canterbury Cathedral. High Street is just around the corner. Pricing for a family room is good. Spanish Tapa Restaurant below (part of the hotel) was nice, great food (octopus and paella). Super friendly staff. Complimentary croissant breakfast with jam, marmalade and free tea and coffee.

Stairs, as with all loft rooms on period houses I guess. Nothing can be done about this.

"Not a superior room or good value"

4.0

No breakfast - pre wrapped buns and packets of cereal in the room only

No parking, no directions to parking ie I called and asked for help and was told they couldn’t help me. I had to find a central car park on my own which was a 10 min walk from the hotel and expensive. The room was up a narrow winding staircase which was hard to negotiate with a case and my hip replacement. I wouldn’t have booked this hotel if I’d have known about these items

"Lovely hotel & situated in a nice place. It's also just round the corner from the main street of Ca"

9.0

We had a very pleasant one night stay at the sun hotel. The staff were very helpful & accommodating.

The only thing we were not keen on, was the shower room smelt damp, so we were taking very quick showers.

"The location was the best thing - literally a stone’s throw from the cathedral."

8.0

Could have been better. Tiny bowls for cereal.

We didn’t get the room we booked because the water pressure was inadequate and were put up in the eves of the hotel accessed by a steep stairs. On the plus side the room was very comfortable and incredibly warm.
