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

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.

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.

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.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this wonderful hotel. I must stress how unusual the place is; it is an ancient building and there are stairs and uneven floors. To reach our room we went up some steps, crossed an outer upper terrace before walking through a lovely residents lounge to another flight of stairs. The rooms are above the shops along the Burgate, directly adjacent to the entrance to the cathedral. Our beautiful room at the back, had a four-poster bed and views over rooftops to the Cathedral. All of the staff at the hotel were outstanding. Nothing was too much trouble and they all went out of their way to ensure we had all we needed including information about parking, eating out, things to do and interesting pubs to visit! The continental breakfast which is included in the price was excellent; fresh fruit salad, yoghurt, cereal, porridge, croissants and toast. My husband and son enjoyed the full English, which is an optional extra. This was brought to us at our table following ordering. There is no doubt I would love to stay at Cathedral Gate again. A unique and lovely experience throughout.

The hotel was so quirky - I wanted to get into every nook and cranny to explore. The hotelier Rob was amazing, during check in, juggling several arriving guests at the same time, for his sense of humour and for noting the mobility issues I had after 6 hours on a coach! The room was clean and absolutely perfect.

Ok .. no en suite meaning shared toilet and shower and both were small rooms which is obviously not ideal but at least you know this in advance when you book, so your choice. No lifts, steep and narrow stairs, creaky floorboards, car parks a good 10 minute walk…. but, and critically, unbelievably well located for town and cathedral and very friendly and helpful staff. The continental breakfast options were fine and adequate. Place was clean and tidy, bed comfortable. So do not expect 5 star luxury, it is quirky but price was lower than other nearby hotels reflecting the issues, though nothing In Canterbury was cheap.
