| Friendly service, tidy common areas, & small but clean room with a fan for the warm night made this an attractive place to stay just outside the walls of the old historic area of Canterbury.

| We have stayed at the Chaucer twice now. It is extremely British, on this trip (Spring Break) we seemed to be the only non-English guests. That is it's strength and weakness. The rooms are very nice, beautifully decorated but can be tiny-a room with two single beds is larger than a room with one queen-size. The plumbing is also English- nice deep tubs with two faucets and a shower that didn't work but management worked on it every day, sent for new parts and offered to move us to a different room. The location is the reason we stay here. It is easy to get to for Americans unaccustomed to English driving and once there an easy walk to downtown Canterbury, and fifteen minute walk to the train station for London. The restaurant at the Chaucer is good, and has a good breakfast whether you want tea toast and Muesli or a full English breakfast. We'll stay there again, we love Canterbury and find the Chaucer a comfortable place.
