Looking onto Burgate as our room did does come with outside noise. Next time I would book a room at the back of the hotel looking onto the Cathedral.

Amazing location literally next door to the Cathedral , everywhere is within easy walking distance. Lovely quirky boutique hotel with comfortable rooms and plenty of character. A very warm welcome by the owner and staff who were keen to make sure everything went well with our stay, full of local knowledge and recommendations.

nothing comes to mind - except budget extra for parking - which is fine but its extra

super place right next to the Cathedral. Super breakfast

This is not a hotel for those who cannot climb stairs or find lots of different levels of steps easy to manoeuvre

Very accommodating staff, excellent location, breakfast was good quality service and food .

It was a perfect location--easily walkable to everything in Canterbury. The space was clean. Staff was very nice. Our mattress was very hard; when I mentioned it to the staff they added a topper and it was much more comfortable.

Continental breakfast provides only sweet options. No cheese or ham

Location, staff

The windows were a bit tricky to open, but that is to be expected given the age of the building.

I very much enjoyed my stay at Cathedral Gate. The staff were very friendly and helpful. I was given a room with a fantastic view of the cathedral, which I really appreciated.

This is an amazing spot, basically part of the cathedral's old walked fortification. Historic and fascinating. Perfect room/place for solo traveler/pilgrim backpacker like me. Shared bath was super clean with a fine shower. Bed was very comfortable. There's a rooftop level deck with cathedral views, a small bar on premises too. In a lively area of town. Staff is excellent in every way, friendly and informative. Breakfast was verygood with excellent fresh fruit. Would not hesitate to return.

NOTHING

At check in was offered for £30 more ( already paid for single room - shared bathrm 3rd flloor on Mon 28 July) to have a Double ensuite - bath on 1st floor. Said YES. View from bedroom window a real WOW - Canterbury Cathedral. Modern small bathroom. Water nice & hot for much needed soak as my back was bad from sitting long period in coaches. Also staff were able to cater for my wheat/ cows milk intolerance so could have GF toast & oat milk on porridge.

Best location (right next to the cathedral) and a fabulous breakfast!

Breakfast was fine but could have been more interesting.

A delightful ancient building right by the cathedral, with little stairs, corridors, different shaped rooms, four poster beds in places and all the beds were comfortable.Full of character. You really felt you were living the history of Canterbury. The staff were extremely helpful in accommodating our bikes.

A lot of stairs.

The staff was so generous and helpful. Breakfast is in a charming room with beautiful bow windows. The service was incredibly thoughtful. Everyone wanted to make me as happy as possible. Just remarkable. My single room was tiny but charming. I even had a view! The historic stairs are very narrow and my room was at the top. Normally this wouldn’t have been a problem, but I’m having some hip trouble, so it was a bit tricky this time. They were very kind about carrying up my luggage!

Some noise from street outside (but the hotel do thoughtfully provide earplugs).

Excellent location, right next to Cathedral. Very comfy bed.

The bathroom is tiny but quirky, so no issue!

Amazing location next door to the cathedral. Close to wide choice of restaurants. Wonderful welcome at reception and helpful throughout. Bland modernity this is not, rather steeped in history, style and character. Breakfast served in room was excellent.
