What guests think
Reviews of Cathedral Gate describe a charming, centuries-old hotel right beside Canterbury Cathedral, with exceptionally friendly, helpful staff, very good continental breakfasts (paid cooked options available), and generally clean, comfortable rooms that brim with historic character.
The central setting is ideal for walking to shops and sights, though some front-facing rooms report street noise at night and bell practice. As a very old building, there is no lift and access can involve steep, uneven stairs and occasional rooftop walkways. Wi-Fi can be weak and parking is off-site via nearby council car parks, with hotel guidance for drop-off. Expect a unique, character-led stay with standout service in the heart of Canterbury.
