Top Canterbury Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Greyfriars Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Central location, perfect for exploring the city on foot, and easy access from the train station Room was clean with hot shower, towels and toiletries, and kettle with tea/coffee: all we needed for an overnight stay after a wedding reception. Sanjeewa made us very welcome and helpfully let us store luggage after check-out. A varied continental breakfast was a great start to the day. Thank you Sanjeewa"

ABode Canterbury

8/10 Good

"We like the convenience of the hotel and the beds and rooms are nicely clean and the cleaning staff very friendly and helpful. However the reception staff are not that friendly and will ignore you unless you speak directly to them. I am unused to that in a hotel reception. It would be good if they were more welcoming and proactively pleasant. And although the breakfast is included it is just cereal and breads. The full breakfast is a bit of a disappointment and I recommend going elsewhere."

The Millers Arms

10/10 Excellent

"Breakfast was delicious. Location was central and convenient. Staff very friendly and helpful. Rooms were functional and clean."

Corner House

10/10 Excellent

"The room was super spacious and had a safe plus a mini fridge in the wardrobe. We had water, fresh orange juice and milk to use with the coffee and tea making facilities. The bathroom had a bath with shower.Our only negative would be to have a mind your head sign to enter the bathroom as my hubby is tall. We had a free continental breakfast which was delicious and certainly made a change from a full english. I would definitely recommend staying here as it was also a great location to see all the sights available in town"

The Victoria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was large with a really nice en-suite with a bath and shower. The staff were friendly and helpful providing extras that we needed in our room. Really comfortable bed and a fan provided in the room too. Brilliant value for money ."

Canterbury Cathedral Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I can not recommend this spot enough- first of all, every staff member is so warm and congenial. The room is beautiful, and the complimentary breakfast is table service (mind blowing to my American standards!). Being right in the Cathedral grounds puts you in the midst of everything but yet in a nice quiet oasis. Would come back just to stay here again."

Pilgrims Hotel

The Coach House Canterbury

8/10 Good

"Lovely stay in the heart of Canterbury. Some of the decor is a bit tired but it is an old building. Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable"
