"In an excellent location across the street from where the action is and a short (and beautiful) walk from the train station, this seven-room hotel is dated and quirky, but the rooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean. The bed was comfortable and the sheets were crisp and new. Beware, the stairs are not for folks with the slightest mobility issues. I’d recommend it to people willing to trade ultimate modern comfort for the sake of inexpensive accommodations. "

Top Canterbury Hotel Reviews

Cathedral Gate Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff really congenial and always helpful"

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

6/10 Okay

"The hotel was central and not too far from the car park. However I have to say the bed was genuinely quite uncomfortable and the pillows disappeared when your head was on them. The breakfast was great and varied. Coffee wasn’t bad. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Nice stay for the beds could be much much better"

Grove Ferry Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The accommodation was lovely and even accommodated for our family of 5 and situated in a great location for walking or water fun on the river as well as being not to far from the coast. the people that run this property was lovely friendly and very helpful. We stayed on a Tuesday when the pub and restaurant was closed so can't comment on the evening meals but the breakfast was lovely and plenty of choices would definitely come back."

The Victoria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Arrived earlier than expected bur no problems checking in. Our room was extremely large and comfortable with Tea and coffee facilities. Car parking was free which was Ideal you can leave your car and take the a short walk to the Westgate of Canterbury and enter the centre of Canterbury and Canterbury Cathedral. At the Westgate you can take a Punt trip along the river, which we did and found it serene and saw lots of wildlife including Swan's Ducks and Ducklings. On our return to the Hotel we took a walk from the Westgate alongside the river though Westgate park . We ate in the hotel restaurant the Menu was extensive and there was the option of a carvery. Very good friendly service."

Pilgrims Hotel

6/10 Okay

".This place was just okay. The room itself was fine, but when we arrived the heating was on full and it was unbearably hot. The window only opens a tiny amount, so there was no way to cool it down properly. We asked for the heating to be turned off, and the staff member did do that, but the radiator still seemed to be on — just slightly less hot. Because of this, we couldn’t sleep. In the morning, there was nothing left for breakfast, so we had to go elsewhere. It also seemed like there was only one member of staff, as we didn’t see anyone else at all — just one poor guy trying to do everything"
