ExcellentFeb 20208.8
Right at the gate to the cathedral and Burgate square. Easy walk to train station, Church of St. Thomas, St. Augustine’s church, and many restaurants.
No suggestions.

Very nice four poster bed; interesting and charming room (tiny bit cluttered though?) but clean. Friendly and speedy check-in and check- out; pleasant staff all round. Interesting hotel with history and great location. Good view of the Cathedral from the room.
Very poor shower - no pressure at all. No one greeted us at breakfast, so delays in getting served, and table not set out properly. Generally unsuitable dining room - had we known how claustrophobic it was we would have chosen to eat in the room. Comparable hotels would have had hot breakfast included in the price.

We found the hotel comfortable but basic - it was an excellent choice for the purpose of our trip. We were visiting our nephew at the university
it was our own fault but we booked a room with a shared bathroom - we prefer en suite
