地理位置不可能更好了,就在大教堂门口。酒店前台超级热情,帮了我很多忙。酒店有免费的瓶装水提供。

酒店设施有些老,停车要在不远的付费社会停车场。

Friendly staff. Courteous, polite and welcoming. My room was peaceful with a partial view of Canterbury Cathedral. The bathroom was beautifully fresh and spotless. I'd definitely stay again.

The quirky hotel layout linking several ancient buildings including a short 'rooftop' walkway to reach our room. Lovely breakfast served at our table.

We liked it all.

"ottima posizione ma niente di più"

6.0

posizione spendida nel cuore della città

abbiamo avuto una stanza "lato cattedrale" che in realtà fa vedere le guglie sui tetti ma che per essere raggiunta richiedeva 4 o 5 rampe di scale di legno ripide che passavano addirittura all'esterno sui tetti della struttura e che con la valigia grande è stato davvero difficile da raggiungere, stanza piccolissima con letto miunscolo e materasso basso e scomodo perchè durissimo, un vero incubo. niente ventilatori, abbiamo dormi to con le finestre aperte o saremmo morti dal caldo

This place really feels in the heart of Canterbury and an old and wonky (in a good way) which makes it feel so characterful.

"Great hotel, with lots of charm."

9.0

A great little hotel, right next to the cathedral gate, and within walking distance of everything. Had a nice room overlooking the square. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

The street can be a little noisy at night, but it didn’t bother me. The hotel provided earplugs, in the room, in case someone needed them.
