My husband went to Kent University so we decided to go for his big 40th birthday there. We have been to Canterbury so many time so we know exactly where it is and how nice it is (from the outside). Everything went well, there was almost empty and not a shadow of a staff apart from the one open the... More

Great central location, pedestrianised centre makes car parking restrictive so be prepared for a reasonable walk to a car park if you arrive by car, once at the hotel your in a great central location. Cathedral, shops & restaurants in close proximity. Building dates back to 1500's so rooms and corridors are designed to fit in with the character of... More

We've just returned from an overnight stay and wanted to share our positive experience of staying at the Sun Hotel. The hotel is right in the heart of the mediaeval town centre and a stone's throw from the cathedral. The surrounding streets have loads of characterful shops, bars and restaurants. I won't review Canterbury rather than the hotel, but suffice... More

We came here for a romantic break on our anniversary and it's everything we could have wanted. The location couldnt have been any better, very central and near all shops, Canterbury cathedral and restaurants. On arrival, as we had an eventful journey, Andrew, the manager, bumped us up to the sun room, with jacuzzi and amazing four poster bed! The... More

This is a really old hotel right in the centre of Canterbury. It's a fantastic location for seeing the sights and getting into the atmosphere of Canterbury. There's great shopping, restaurants, history, cafes…and the hotel is literally in the thick of it! The hotel is clean and full of character. Our room was beautiful, with a fantastic 4 poster and...

Stayed in this hotel during September for a family wedding in Canterbury. I was stunned when I arrived at Canterbury city centre to find that the location of the hotel is pretty much as central as you can get without being inside the Cathedral! From outside, the building looks like something from a film set, it's quite remarkable! Once inside,... More

We had initially intended on booking the abode at £150 a night but this was fully booked, when we saw this hotel on last minute.com for £175 a night we thought that it must be a very nice hotel as we are aware that the abode is lovely. Location is very central, however this is the only positive about this... More

This was our first hotel along a three week vacation around southern England - we stayed one night with our two young sons. Staff was very friendly and helpful. The reception area was not pleasant at all, but once you were along the winding stairs and charming rooms, everything was fine. We had the room at the top of the... More
