Cathedral Gate Hotel
Had a wonderful time - hotel adjacent to the cathedral so perfect location. Near lots of restaurants, bars and shops - walking distance. Friendly and helpful staff. Bar onsite until 11pm. Communal sitting room. Complimentary water. Continental breakfast included with option of paying for a delicious full cooked breakfast prepared to your liking. Room spacious, lovely and warm, a view of the cathedral a bonus. tea and coffee in room. We parked in a carpark on the hotel’s list, phoned the hotel when parked and they organised the parking ticket for us and just added it to our room bill. Ate in cricketers pub and the old weavers not far from hotel. Recommend pre-booking a table - food delicious. Loved staying at the hotel and can’t wait to go back

No problems at all, staff most helpful, especially when I had an accident and the receptionist, Monica, advised a visit to the Kent and Canterbury hospital where I received excellent help and treatment.

Great location. Noise was terrible - no double-glazing and a lot of people shouting outside throughout the night.

Great reception by Monica who made us feel most welcome. Hotel itself a little tired but characterful… staff had no uniform so not easy to identify. Room was via an outside walkway but quiet; so slept well.

Liked: Staff & service
Very cute place. Its good one one or two night and the staff are very kind. Some rooms share bathrooms which are cleaned everyday, but a little odd imo. The curtains dont block out all the street light or are large enough to feel safe from the street side. Dont ask for a street facing window. Pretty clean. Squeeky floors, but it is an old old building. Cute for a night or two, but thats about it.

Lovely city centre hotel, great staff and service. Very quirky, but charming 1860's building with wonky flooring and a maze of corridors. We found it interesting.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
This is such a beautiful place to stay, right next to the cathedral. There are different floors (all with stairs) and various size rooms. Some beds have metal frames which seem at first glance to be problematic for someone tall (6' 4") like me. The receptionist made note of this and asked whether I would prefer a room with a different type of bed. I wanted to keep the view of the cathedral from the window, so stayed where I was and slept great - the surroundings were quiet and the morning felt heavenly. The breakfast was served individually and of a very high quality. The breakfast room overlooks the public square with shops and a small monument.
