Cathedral Gate Hotel

Very friendly, available and helpful. Accommodated my husband's knee issues by putting us on a floor which didn't require too many stairs. A very special location, right next to the entrance to the cathedral in a central square. The continental breakfast was outstanding with beautiful fresh fruit, yogurts etc. We enjoyed the little bar at the end of the day, where we could overlook the square in comfortable seats. I would definitely stay here again.

A wonderful historical experience.

Very close to the cathedral. Despite that it is an old building, it is tidy and well-maintained. The room(old-style) was clean and tidy. The food was okay. It was quiet at night as the room was facing the cathedral. The surrounding area is nice and has a variety of shops, restaurants and pubs.

This historic building in the heart of Canterbury is only made better by the excellent, friendly & v helpful staff. Rob was particularly helpful. Breakfast in my room was an added bonus. Highly recommended

Central hotel full of character and charm. Staff in the afternoon/evening fabulous and very friendly. Bed appeared old and very uncomfortable.

Five star service! A quirky 15th century timber framed building a stone’s throw from the Cathedral. Very welcoming and helpful staff, generous (complimentary bottled water and toiletries), tasty breakfast. Parking was easy with their anpr voucher system. Great value for money in the heart of Canterbury. Would happily stay her again.

Loved the location and the personalised service. The hotel property is very old and quite quirky but it has a wonderful ambience and was a delight to stay at.

We had a wonderful stay at the cathedral Gate hotel. The staff are the friendliest and most helpful. All in all a very pleasant experience on our first visit to Canterbury .

Warning: A lot of stairs! But if that's not a problem, this is a nice B&B in the middle of the town (can't get much closer than this). Great breakfast and friendly hosts.

Very helpful & friendly staff, great food.

El personal es excepcional

Very accommodating- nothing is too much trouble. Really helpful. Best hotel service I’ve received. Quirky little place. Rooftop outdoor seating. Central location. I’d definitely come again. 5* to Rob.

Would happily stay at this property again even if just for the incredible view of Canterbury Cathedral! Special mention to Rob who was incredibly friendly and welcoming!

Excellent location in the heart of the city, looking out on to the Cathedral from the back of the hotel. Good instructions from the hotel regarding parking and dropping off luggage. Parking was £13 for 24 hours in one of the council car parks which the hotel arranged for us. Breakfast was great, either continental which was included in the room rate, or Full English cooked breakfast for a supplement of £9.50 per person. Wi-Fi is free.

This small, sweet hotel right next door to the cathedral is a lovely place to stay. It’s a bit quirky; there’s no elevator & the top rooms are up quite a few stairs. But my room was big and pretty, and the (included) breakfast was delicious. My room had a shared bath, but it was right next door, spotlessly clean, & only shared with one other room – really no problem. The staff is extremely nice and helpful – on my last afternoon, as I waited for a taxi, the fellow at the desk made me tea. I totally enjoyed staying here.

The hotel is located right in the city centre so it's great for sightseeing. Our room (en-suite) was of reasonable size for a long weekend. For a longer stay one would have wanted more cupboard and drawer space. The staff were very nice and we appreciated the free bottles of water by the reception. The continental breakfast delivered to the room was of good quality and plentiful. The only downside was the noise coming from the street below, especially on a hot summer night when one wants to keep the window open. Luckily the pubs close to the hotel closed at 11pm after which it was more tranquil.

I am a regular solo traveller to Canterbury and couldn't get a room at my regular B&B so i decided to try the Cathedral Gate Hotel as I often thought it looked like an interesting place to stay. I received a warm welcome on arrival and shown to my room which had a view to the bustling market square. My room was clean and comfortable. Canterbury has a lively, noisy nightlife which is to be expected in a busy city centre and earplugs are provided for those who require them! The continental breakfast was delicious and the croissants served straight from the oven were perfect. I loved the building which is around 700 years old with its sloping floors and rabbit warren like corridors! I am looking forward to my next visit to Canterbury and will definitely be booking into the Cathedral Gate, I had a great stay and it is just a 10 minute walk from the train station!

Fantastic location, right next door to Cathedral and in the middle of all the historic buildings.

An amazing hotel due to the staff, highly recommend. Housekeeping were fantastic such attention to detail for a small hotel.great location but really staff and level of service makes this hotel exceptional.

Loved the location next to the cathedral and center of town. The room was fine, but was on the front street and was warm and loud with street noise at all hours. If you are a light sleeper ask for a room in the back. Great continual breakfast and helpful staff.
