Cozy enjoyable stay, staff very friendly and helpful. Apartment equipped with all your necessities, Julie went the extra mile and even had a Xmas tree in apartment.Only suggestion would be to highlight the wonkiness (unlevel flooring in every room) this accommodation would not be suitable for elderly or disabled people and this needs to be highlighted in property blurb.Excellent location and loved the history behind this apartment.

Lovely apartment. Very quirky but all home comforts. Concierge was brilliant and helpful. Right in the middle of the city and easy walking distance to train station and bus station.

What a fabulous place to stay! Totally unique, full of character right in the centre of town. We had a very comfortable stay in the Knights Apartment. Julie (very friendly concierge) met us at their secure car park just around the corner on Stour Street (a big bonus) and we settled in straight away. There are great views from all the rooms and an abundance of shops, eateries, bars etc., within seconds of leaving the front door. Highly recommended as a base to explore historical Canterbury and beyond.
