Cathedral Gate Hotel

“Thank you for your kindness”

Everything was perfect. The room, the bathroom, and most importantly a very welcoming staff. Monica, Tania, Kish. The breakfast was very good, excellent coffee.

“Wonderful hotel!”

The hotel is quaint, quirky and creaky, and all the more charming for it. The staff were very helpful, pleasant and informative.

Nothing was too much trouble for Dean and his knowledge and amusing asides enhanced our stay. Super continental breakfast with really fresh and delicious croissants and a sensational fruit salad, presented so beautifully it was almost a shame to eat. Hoping to stay again.....

Staying at the Cathedral Gate Hotel is truly a privilege. It was THE highlight of our road trip through southern England. The location couldn’t be more central—right in the heart of Canterbury—and the building itself, dating back to the 15th century, is full of character. The delightfully uneven floors and walls only add to its unique charm and historical value. Our two rooms were spacious and beautifully appointed, one even featuring a magnificent four-poster bed. The bathrooms were modern and well maintained, and the Wi-Fi worked perfectly. What really sets this hotel apart is the team: warm, welcoming, and incredibly helpful. The atmosphere feels wonderfully personal and family-run. After we checked out, I realised I had left something behind in one of the rooms; the staff promptly arranged to send it to me by post—such thoughtful service! Breakfast was excellent, with plenty of choice and fresh ingredients. This hotel is an absolute pearl: a place where history, comfort, and genuine hospitality meet. I can’t recommend it highly enough and I can't wait to come back!

“An Experience as Uneven as the Floors”

First, the good. The location cannot be beat, and the building is full of quirky, historic charm. My room had a gorgeous view of the cathedral illuminated at night.

First, the good. The location cannot be beat, and the building is full of quirky, historic charm. My room had a gorgeous view of the cathedral illuminated at night. The staff kindly allowed me to drop off my luggage early. The furnishings were comfortable and clean. The room was quiet except for an odd creaking in the walls. Maybe it is haunted? Just kidding. I had the breakfast which was included with the stay, and it was excellent. Now for the not-so-good. The bathtub was small. I am 5'6" and 160#, and someone much bigger wouldn't fit. Also there was no hand spray which made it difficult to wash and rinse my hair. None of the staff introduced thrmselves so the reviews mentioning their names are puzzling. When I arrived, some guy showed me the way to my room, made sure the door opened then left. Unfortunately, he neglected to tell me thst the heat wasn't turned on. About midnight, my room started getting cold, The radiator had no instructions or obvious "on" switch, and I wasn't about to experiment with it. The hour was late, and I had already changed for bed so I just put on every extra layer I had and went to bed. The temp went down to 10 celsius that night. When I checked out in the morning, I mentioned the lack of heat and was told it hadn't been turned on yet. The woman (owner? staff? who knows) told me I should have told them. Besides, she didn't need to sleep with it on yet. Not the barest hint of an apology. I pointed out that it didn't become obvious that there was no heat until late at night. Also why didn't someone tell me that I would need to turn on the radiator? Unbelievable.
