The Sun Hotel is right in the heart of Canterbury close to the Cathedral. The rooms are very comfortable (we were in the Cathedral room) and well decorated. The hotel although hundreds of years old has been renovated beautifully. The beds are very comfortable and bathroom spotless and very well presented. The breakfast is filling and very nice. A great... More

This is a gorgeous quirky building in the centre of Catnerbury and is full of olde worlde charm and character. We stayed in the Chaucer room. It was spotless (and believe me I am fussy) the bed was extremely comfortable and the bathroom was beautiful. The lack of big windows (small skylights only) and its location in the attic, meant...

I really could not recommend this hotel to anyone. Despite it being a very good location (its only redeeming feature) everything else was poor. The cost for the room was astronomical, we were in the Chaucer room (I think) which was a mish mash of furniture despite being labelled as a suite, there were no towels in our room when... More

The location is fabulous, almost next to the west Gate of the Cathedral. The owner goes out of his way to be helpful and I enjoyed the best scrambled eggs and toast anywhere on my trip. You truly get a sense of Canterbury life when you stay at the Sun Hotel.

We stayed here for a night in late April. We booked the jacuzzi room which was fantastic. The view from the double aspect windows of the old street was great and gave you an idea of how Canterbury was many years ago. The location of the hotel is perfect, bang in the middle of town near all the main shopping... More

Perfect location, a stones throw from Canterbury Cathedral. The owner and staff are very friendly and nothing is too much trouble. The breakfast was very good, particularly the sausages!!. It is very clean and the decor in each of the bedrooms is different and resembles a stately home. its perfect for romantic breaks. The bed was extremely comfy and I... More

The hotel is family run, the whole place is very clean with so much character. We had a great stay and we love Canterbury especially the breakfast was fantastic and lots. We wonder what Charles Dickens felt staying there all those years ago. Will definitely go back to the Sum hotel when we visit Canterbury.
