太陽酒店(The Sun Hotel)

The uniqueness and history of this hotel when combined with the service and friendliness of the staff cannot be overstated. The rooms have been "renovated" whilst retaining all the character of the original and are comfortable and provide everything one needs. I stayed in the Cathedral Room and was charmed by the maze of winding stairs and changes in floor levels as I was lead to the top of the building. I was warned that the retention of the historic windows could lead to noise transmission from the street below. They were not wrong. However, a small price to pay for the historic vibe of the place. The unexpected El Sol tapas bar was delightful and the food the best Spanish cuisine I've had outside Spain.

We spent four nights at the Sun Hotel and had a wonderful stay there. We stayed in the Cathedral room which was charming and comfortable. The owners, who also run the tapas restaurant El Sol(which is also fabulous!) were extremely nice and helpful. I wholeheartedly recommend this hotel and restaurant. I would certainly stay there again.

Had a very comfortable 3 night stay at the Sun Hotel, that is full of character and very clean, which is priority for me when booking a hotel stay. The breakfast was very tasty and plentiful, offering choices of Full English, Vegetarian or cereal. Waiter was also happy to provide toast/jam/fruit with the cereal that I requested on one of the mornings. Location is perfect, short stroll to high street and around the corner from Cathedral - loved hearing the church bells ringing ! Had dinner at the Tapas restaurant on our last night, so glad we did as the dishes were amazingly tasty and very reasonably priced for the large portions. A big thankyou to Jerry the Chef for the recommendations. I would not hesitate to recommend the hotel and restaurant to my friends and family and hope to go back there one day.

Our one night at Sun Hotel was a superb experience in service, uniqueness, accommodations, and fine dining. Corina greeted us with a tour of this historic old hotel & its legends. The room was cozy, clean, and comfortable. Jerry the proprietor, served as professional tapas chef in the dining room. We let him bring out many specialty tapas, all superb (& rare to find a Spanish restaurant in the heart of old Canterbury). Their staff went out of their way to help us (item left in room, carried suitcases 2 blocks away after checkout for our convenience. An exceptional value and experience!

Most welcoming staff, gave some history on the building, just a few yards to the Marlowe Theatre & the cathedral. We stayed in the sun room, great decor in-keeping with the age of the property. Lovely Jacuzzi, TV, Wi-Fi, and fridge stacked with mini bar & chocolates. Wonderfully comfortable bed, great nights sleep! Downstairs was EL-SOL Spanish restaurant fantastic food & very reasonably priced. Would highly recommend
