just to say i agree with all the reviews and also cannot say how nice it was to have a view of the Cathedral out of the bedroom winder and no noise which is a plus. nice receptionist and nice people on our stay. loved the gates closing at 9pm and you have a bell to ring to have someone... more

As we were tight on time during our stay in Canterbury, we chose the Canterbury Cathedral Lodge as it was located on the medieval fortressed, cathedral grounds...& the lodge provides free passes to the cathedral which saves $$. In addition, the lodge provided guaranteed parking space for your car if pre-booked... which is scarce in Canterbury. Knowing that this is... more

What a surprise this turned out to be! First of all you have to find it! Depending on what time you arrive, if driving, you use 1 of 2 entrances - make sure you get instructions before you arrive and provide your car licence number otherwise they wont let you in! I guess the hotel name is a bit of... more

I am glad we stayed at the Cathedral Lodge. Not only are you looking out your window at the cathedral you are steps away from the city center. While the rooms are basic everything was clean and in good condition. Check-in and out was pleasant. The continental breakfast was good. more

Once we had found our way into the Cathedral grounds, locating the lodge was easy. Check in was efficient and friendly- receptionist even took time to suggest restaurants - and there are 3 that they recommend ( based on guests positive feedback) that the Lodge has negotiated discounts for their guests. There is a lovely lawn facing the cathederal (hidden... more

Breakfast was adequate with a continental breakfast but the service was a tad slow - I had to ask the waitress to bring us some tea and coffee. But on the whole,... more

Other comments have mentioned the paper thin walls. Well, we did not experience this, and if I had then I would no doubt have had a different attitude. But as it is, we just loved this hotel. It was so nice to be within the cathedral precinct, and incidentally saved us the cost of the ticket that other people have... more

I skimmed through the reviews on this site having made a very last minute booking, we felt that a Travelodge type room would be absolutely fine. First impressions were good. Ground floor, good view of cathedral, very friendly staff. The room was not big, but perfectly adequate for a one night stay and very clean. The double bed was up... more

My fiance and I stayed here for only one night and really wished we could stay longer! At first we thought it would be strange to stay practically in a cathedral, but it was an amazing location with a fantastic, friendly atmosphere - we didn't feel overcome with religion either and we weren't tiptoeing about the place as feared! Our... more
