“The hotel's location, a brief walk from Canterbury Cathedral and the Marlowe Theatre, places guests in the heart of the city's attractions. Its historic character, including a 12th-century chapel, is appealing, although some rooms show signs of wear. The gardens offer a pocket of serenity, a welcome contrast to the bustling surroundings.”
