Top Canterbury Cathedral Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"Clean and comfortable room lovely stay so close to everything"

The Falstaff Hotel

8/10 Good

"Hotel was well located bedroom was very small especially the bathroom breakfast first morning wasn’t great as only half our guests got theirs and had nearly finished when the others were brought to the table but, all were ordered at the same time."

Cathedral Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Very nice old building, immediately adjacent to the entrance to Canterbury Cathedral ticket office. Centrally located on the Royal Mile. The main downside is that parking is about 1/4 mile away and Ubers and Taxis can only get you within 100 yards of the door"

The Victoria Hotel

8/10 Good

"Nice service, breakfast great. I recommend. Thank you 👍"

The Millers Arms

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay for 2 nights was very enjoyable. Lovely old hotel handy to town. Very easy to walk around Canterbury. Room was clean and tidy. Breakfast was very good. We found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. Would highly recommend this hotel. Although parking was 16 pound a night it was safe and secure."

Corner House

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay - convenient location just a short walk from the high st and attached to a fabulous restaurant. We stayed on the top floor - great room but a bit tricky for anyone who is less mobile or quite tall. Really great friendly service from the staff from start to finish."

Canterbury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice gardens & rooms clean."

Greyfriars Lodge

8/10 Good

"We had a two night stay at this guesthouse and for the price we paid had no real complaints. The room was small but adequate for our needs. However, street noise during the night can be problematic there was also a problem with the radiator making it unbearably hot during the night. A basic breakfast is provided which may not suite everyone but was just enough to get us started for the day. The staff member on duty was pleasant, friendly and helpful. A nice touch was the discounted and the vicinity of the nearby car park."

The Coach House Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely place..I enjoyed my stay."
