Certains éléments sont vieillissants mais globalement super séjour hôtel idéalement situé
Fantastic location, right next to cathedral. Very welcoming and helpful staff. Clean, comfortable room in a beautiful old building, full of character. Continental breakfast included. Discounted rate city centre parking via the hotel. Would definitely stay again. Great value for money for such a perfect location. Thank you for a lovely stay.
Mattress was a little soft but this is personal preference. Everything else was excellent!
Central location, very clean, continental breakfast, full tea tray, stored bag for us
Loud early noise from bin collection etc.
Fan ineffective
Super vriendelijk!
Fijn apart toilet van douche. Ruime kamer met bank. Vers fruit bij ontbijt. Vriendelijk personeel en geweldige locatie. Grappig doolhof van gangen in hotel en leuk dakterras met uitzicht op de kathedraal.
Beetje kleine douche maar niet problematisch. Gordijnen laten veel licht door ook van de lampen van de etalages van de winkels die snachts aan blijven.
Das Hotel lag direkt an der Kathedrale. Von einer charmanten Dachterrasse aus hatte man auch Blick auf die Türme. Der Empfang wsr hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich.
Das Hotel hat seinen eigenen Charme. Aufgrund des mittelalterlichen Gebäudes ist alles sehr verwinkelt und es gibt kaum eine gerade Fläche. Unser Zimmer war über ein kleines Labyrinth von Treppen erreichbar und hatte einen echten!!! Schlüssel :)
Die Unternehmungs-Tipps des jungen Mannes an der Rezeption erwiesen sich sls Glücksfall. Besonders die kleine St. MARTINS- Kirche war schön.
Der Parkplatz kann über das Hotel bezahlt werden und ist dann etwas billiger.
Parkplätze sind relativ weit weg. Zum Hotel gelangt man mit dem Auto, wenn man vom Personal die Sperrpoller der Fußgänger-Zone runterfahren lässt. Bei viel Gepäck wäre das zu empfehlen.
Kitűnő elhelyezkedés, hangulatos korabeli épület
Túl keskeny és rövid ágy, nem volt légkondícionáló
Right in the heart of Canterbury. Enjoyed the old architecture of the building. Staff were really friendly and attentive. Cosy room.
Wonderful first stay at the Cathedral Gate Hotel. The location literally could not be better! Quirky and quaint rooms which were just perfect t. Very clean and exceptionally welcoming reception - the lady at the front desk is so lovely. Will definitely be back.
Vynikající místo, skvělý personál.
What a simply superb hotel. Steeped in history (but beautifully furnished to modern standards) this superbly positioned hotel, right by to cathedral gate, was a delight. The staff (all of them) were welcoming, helpful, attentive and efficient. Our room was elegant and well appointed. We parked in the ‘park and ride’ car park, which worked well. And the bus stop was only a short walk to the hotel. I strongly recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Canterbury. One point to note: If you can’t cope with stairs, this is probably not for you, as it’s an old building with lots of stairs to navigate.
Location- amazing! And we were in the Joy room with a view of the cathedral out of our window!!!!! The view was worth having a tub versus a standing shower!!!
Breakfast- The continental breakfast was great in the very quaint breakfast rooms. Amazing cherry jam!
Room- The bed was very comfortable, and it was lovely laying in bed with the breeze coming through the open windows staring at this amazing cathedral and listening to the cooing pigeons and church bells. An experience I will never forget!
Very small bathroom which was actually just fine for me as a very petite person but might not be as pleasant for someone taller. It was very clean and worked great, serving its purpose, although the mirror could be set lower. I couldn't see myself in it at all, not even the top of my head as I'm 5 foot 1 inch. I just used the other mirror over the little table in the room to do my makeup. No biggie!
We were originally booked elsewhere but when we arrived, found the place permanently closed which left us in a it of a bind. We found that Cathedral Gate had two rooms for two nights so gratefully we made our way there.
We received the warmest welcome in this delightful quirky place built in 1438. Our room was very well equipped, quiet and comfortable. Stayed for two splendid nights. While there we were given loads of advice and good thoughts on places to visit and restaurants, all turned out to be spot on.
We really enjoyed the delicious continental breakfasts too.
The hotel was perfectly located, right next to the Cathedral, and convenient for everything.
Just loved the unique quirkiness, the crooked walls, the sloping floors, the warm friendly staff. Everything really.
Highly recommend.
Location was excellent. Breakfast had limited choice not really a continental breakfast and the room was very hot and noisy
The room had a tiny toilet and separate tiny shower, the mattress on the bed was uncomfortable and thin, the room was very hot and noisy being at the front of the hotel. The entrance could be made a lot clearer on how to find it. we were given the choice of rooms but we went with the one with the least sets of stairs. The description of the hotel could be more honest. Breakfast was included but basically just cereals toast and fruit.
