My sort of Hotel.
A lovely hotel, clean, warm and comfortable in an ideal location right next door to the entrance of the Cathedral. A very old building full of character. The only problem being trying to find your room through the maze of corridors especially when you’ve had a few. A really pleasant stay enhanced by friendly and helpful staff.

Unique Experience of Living History
Cathedral Gate Hotel is a must for anyone who wants to experience the authentic history of Canterbury right in the heart of it. The staff were all exceptional and very knowledgeable about the surrounding area as far as places to visit, places to eat, local history and more. Especially Rob on reception who welcomed us and explained everything we needed to know to get the most out of our stay. The continental breakfast was above and beyond what we expected and was delicious. The rooms had all the essential amenities wrapped up in historic charm…the floors and walls were all uneven with age that added to the ambiance. Highly recommend!
