"Probably best to avoid unless you really must sleep in an uncomfortable four poster bed."

6.0

Central location and historic vibe. Eccentric layout.

Very old and historic, but uncomfortable and expensive. It was also very noisy late on a Saturday night (the drunken youth of Canterbury!) The bed was uncomfortable and creaky. The room was in credibly hot and the superheated bathroom towel rail could not be turned down/off. The toilet had not been flushed after previous occupant...

"Overall good - would not rush back there"

8.0

Location was good

Not being able to get out of the accommodation before 9am as the main door was locked.. This must be a safety issue in case you have to leave the premises quickly in case of an emergency.

"Chambre bien située, mais trop bruyante et peu confortable"

4.0

Les plus : bon accueil, explications adéquates à notre arrivée. Petite chambre dans une ancienne maison rénovée au cadre historique. Très bien située, en plein centre ville, chauffage lors de notre passage, petit déjeuner, repas possible au rez-de-chaussée dans le restaurant par lequel nous sommes entrés.

L'entrée mal indiquée, qui est celle du restaurant, escalier étroit et raide. Côté confort, pas d'eau chaude les deux jours, une lampe de chevet qui ne fonctionne pas, le distributeur savon hors service. Porte d'entrée de la chambre difficile à fermer de l'intérieur, literie peu confortable. Mais surtout, une propreté limite (mouchoir et ancienne serviette sous le lit) et le bruit perpétuel de la rue en journée comme la nuit, comme si la fenêtre était ouverte en permanence, ou du restaurant en-dessous jusqu'à plus de 22 heures. Si nous revenons, nous irons dans un autre logement.

"Lovely stay, charming character and lots to do in Canterbury"

8.0

The room was spotless, large and spacious and had a lot of character. Great central location.

The room was quite chilly and the heating was not working. However a member of staff did bring to our room a blow heater. Quite noisy at night due to being right in the centre. So if you are looking for a no noise at night I would not recommend this hotel.

"Disappointing"

5.0

Central location

Very cold room. Staff member who accompanied me to room initially said he checked the radiator but it didn’t come on and I had to put on a jumper and socks to help me sleep in the cold. No bath mat in the bathroom. No staff around in the early morning to ask for one. Cobwebs above the TV. Shower gel holder broken and fell off the wall.
