“Dont waste your money”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2011

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 hotel. I would not pay more than £90 a night for a hotel like this. The reception area was not very nice and the staff are never there. The room was misdescribed and trust me the pictures shown are not similar at all. The room was tiny, bathroom not too bad. We were told that breakfast would be served from 8am and the staff turned up at 8.30 so we ended up going elsewhere for break fast. Beware complete rip off not justification for price stay at the abode!

“Very good location, friendly staff...and quite charming”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 September 2011

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 building, with charming leaded windows and superb views of the street and the cathedral. The furniture was cheap, but fine. The bathroom was beautifully refurbished. We were literally in the center of the old city, minutes from the cathedral, so it can become noisy at times - but we were so tired we barely noticed. Please note that parking is almost impossible as I had to park in a public parking about a 10 minute walk from the hotel - but there was a place to leave the car in front of the hotel to pack and unpack.

“Extremely comfortable, very friendly staff and owner, breakfast excellent”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2010

We were visiting Canterbury for the day and stayed at the Sun Hotel for one night, as it is situated right in the middle of the City it had no car park, but one of the staff members helped us find the car park right near to the hotel, we wre greeted with a very warm welcome and stayed in the Dickens Suite, which was most comfortable and every need catered for.
There are absolutey loads of different resteraunts to choose from for an evening meal, but don't eat to late because breakfast is Fantastic.
All in all it was a very very nice stay. would recommend.
