Holiday Inn Express Canterbury by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Canterbury by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed overnight so we could get down to Dover. The place was lovely, really clean. Everything we needed for the overnight stay. The complimentary breakfast had a good range and it was early enough for us to get something before we had to leave to get the ferry. Thank you for a lovely comfortable night’s stay."

The Victoria Hotel

The Victoria Hotel

8/10 Good

"The staff were so lovely and very attentive. The breakfast was more than enough, well stocked and plenty to choose from. The rooms were comfortable and clean, and you could have fresh towels and tea / coffee re stocked every day if you wish. There was plenty of parking at the rear of the hotel for free. There did seem however to have a problem with those little fruit fly’s in the bar area that were very annoying. Even ended up with a few in our drinks"

The Millers Arms

The Millers Arms

8/10 Good

"The family room was clean, but very well loved, it needed a refresh. The shower curtain kept falling down too. The pub was lovely, we spent most of our time there. Breakfast was fantastic and the best part of the stay. Very well located for transportation and access to the town center, we were able to walk everywhere from there."

"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"

"We stayed in one of the lodges. There were some maintenance issues. There were some broken tiles on one of the bathroom floors. It could have also been a little cleaner. But it was a good location for a wedding we attended. The breakfast was lovely and had a great selection. The staff were also very attentive."

"Well located for city centre visits, good transport links, as well ... & a private car park for guests, too! Booked one night this time but would be happy to rebook in future ."
