"Proximité de la cathédrale imbattable !"

7.0

Emplacement très central dans la ville et bonne situation par rapport aux deux gares ferroviaires et à celle des bus. Personnel très serviable. Accueil hors du commun : il a été possible de choisir sa chambre, entre deux (préalablement visitées) ! Bâtiment médiéval (hôtel et annexe) à l’agencement intérieur assez surprenant. Chambre 'Barn' très spacieuse et bien agréable, car fort calme.

Étant donné la place disponible dans la chambre, en quoi était-il impératif de disposer, là où elle se trouve, une cloison qui laisse aussi peu d'espace au volume (étriqué) « WC – lavabo – douche » ? Escalier d’accès à cette chambre passablement raide. L'annonce relative au petit-déjeuner est pour le moins spécieuse : « Free Full Breakfast » est-il écrit… ► Il s’agit ici pourtant d’un petit-déjeuner « continental » et non pas du « Full English Breakfast » ! Pour ce dernier, il faut débourser £ 9.5 de plus !

Localisation idéale pour quelques jours à Canterbury en faisant tout à pied. Le personnel est très attentif et la chambre agréable et au calme. Aucune nuisance sonore malgré la proximité du centre (côté cathédrale, c'est l'idéal).

Les équipements de la salle de bain seraient à remettre au goût du jour pour une expérience parfaite. Attention également aux dimensions du lit : un queen bed (120cm) n'est pas une queen size (160).
