"Quaint hotel with amazing modern bathrooms!"
We had one night here as part of a touring holiday, but wished we could have stayed longer. We loved the quirky, quaint old building with its wonky walls, creaky stairs and four poster bedrooms. And the ultramodern jacuzzi bath with jets and lights was like something out of a UFO movie! Read less

The quaint old building with mega-modern bathrooms. The huge and beautifully-cooked breakfast. Hotel location was excellent, just round the corner from Canterbury Cathedral.

"Just not good enough"
We may have chosen the cheapest room in the hotel( not cheap still) but we did expect the curtains to meet in the middle - and draw properly!! The toilet had a maserator fitted that woke the whole hotel when used. A constant smell of sewage in the room and finally no hot water in the shower.After complaining they did move us to a
better room. Although the satelite tv was impossible to watch(constant freezing picture). Read less

Staff did try to help and the breakfast was good.

Extensively refurbished in 2006, today the hotel offers a warm welcome with modern comforts, combining traditional architecture with contemporary design. A 15th century Tudor building brought back to life after being vacant for 40 years. Formally known as 'Little Inn' and made famous by Charles Dickens, it was transformed into this stylish hotel in 2006. It is just 20 minutes from Dover and the Channel Tunnel.
Bedrooms are stylishly furnished, most with a beautiful four-poster bed. Enjoy lunch, light bites and the renowned cream teas, served daily in the licensed tea rooms in the famous Sun Street.
Located just a few steps from Canterbury Cathedral in a cobbled street, this 15th century hotel is steeped in history, with former guests including Charles Dickens. Canterbury lies on the River Stour, and along with the towns of Whitstable and Herne Bay is in the local government district of the City of Canterbury. Originally a Celtic settlement, it was renamed Durovernum Cantiacorum by the Roman conquerors in the first century AD. After the Kingdom of Kent's conversion to Christianity in 597, St Augustine founded an episcopal see in the city and became the first Archbishop of Canterbury, a position that now heads the Church of England and the worldwide Anglican Communion. Thomas Becket's murder at Canterbury Cathedral in 1170 led to the cathedral becoming a place of pilgrimage for Christians worldwide.
This pilgrimage provided the theme for Geoffery Chaucer's 14th-century literary classic the Canterbury Tales. The literary heritage continued with the birth of the playwright Christopher Marlowe in the city in the 16th century.
