The Sun Hotel

Everything was amazing! The room was clean, the bed was comfy, new bathroom, the location excellent-right next to the cathedral in the city center. The building is pretty old from the 1500s and so the rooms were inspired by it, which is pretty cool. We really liked it! Sasha, the host, was extremely helpful and kind, she asked everyday if we needed new breakfast and room service. Since I'm gf and lactose intollerant she brought me special cookies and milk to have a normal breakfast as well. Would definitely reccomend it!

- The quirkiness of the room - The hot tub. - Options of having a fan or heater in the room

Brief breakfast laid out on a tray, small box of cereal and pre-packaged croissant with butter and jam. Tea and coffee supplies sufficient for the day. This hotel is in a building several hundred years old and our room was 'quirky', uneven floors, two cupboards in the room, one with a shower, the other with a toilet (low door, mind your head!). Loved the four poster bed! The main attraction is that it is in the centre of town, two minutes from the Cathedral (the main reason for our visit to Canterbury). The Spanish restaurant on the ground floor was excellent.

The Sun Hotel is a 15th century hotel just across the street from Canterbury Cathedral. The location is excellent for accessing the old town center and the main attractions in Canterbury such as the cathedral and the Augustine Abbey ruins. Travelers may be interested to know that the Abbey site is an English Heritage site. We bought a nine day overseas English Heritage pass and visited a number of English Heritage Sites across England. The pass more than paid for itself. The staff at the Sun Hotel are courteous and accommodating. Below the hotel is the El Sol, a tapas bar that serves good food. You actually access the hotel through the El Sol.

Although booked on a room only basis, cereal, croissants and tea were part of breakfast package. Central location so could get to all of Canterbury iconic places easily on foot. You could tell you were in an historical inn where one guide tour ended and taking photos of bedroom windows.
