Location. Peaceful.Excellent breakfast Everything was great besides the poor wifi. Also no air conditioning. It was mentioned very clearly but I somehow missed it. Highlighting it for people like me. Double room was a standard UK double. So if you want a larger room and bed, book a twin room and request for the beds to be joined. Room is bigger with more space to put stuff. The hotel and service is just lovely

This sweet hotel is the best kept secret in Canterbury! It's literally next to the Cathedral Gates and within walking distance of the beautiful historic town of Canterbury. The staff treated us like family. We really enjoyed getting to know them, especially Rob, who went way above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. This is not your basic chain hotel. It is a historic Inn with history, character, and charm. People have been sleeping in this space for 586 years. Oh, if the walls could talk! We'll definitely be back.

I really enjoyed my stay here. The whole place had a warm, tasteful feel — both the rooms and the shared spaces. Cosy, comfortable, and clearly done with care. Nothing bland or generic. We were upgraded to a junior suite, which was a lovely surprise. The room was clean, spacious, had a great bed and a good bathroom. Everything worked, everything felt solid. You could tell they paid attention to detail. The reception was welcoming and friendly. The hotel is in a perfect spot — right in the heart of Canterbury — and still very affordable, which honestly makes it feel like a bit of a hidden gem. Just a very pleasant, characterful place to stay. I’d happily come back.

FAQs about hotels in Canterbury

Heavenly Heritage and Literary Legend

Canterbury’s religious and historic significance has inspired literary greatness. Chaucer’s ‘Canterbury Tales’ were based on pilgrimages to the bygone shrine of Thomas A Becket, who was murdered here. The Marlowe Theatre is named after the 16th-century playwright born here, and the Canterbury Museum has an exhibit on Rupert Bear, whose author lived in this River Stour city.

River cruises and punting provide fantastic views of the striking weavers’ houses right on the water, and of Westgate - the UK’s largest city gate. Other sections of the city walls remain, and there are also ruins of St Augustine’s Abbey, named after the 6th-century saint who brought Christianity to England. He was the first Archbishop of Canterbury, but the modern-day seat is the UNESCO World Heritage-listed cathedral, dating to the 12th century.

From the same period are the Norman castle ruins, occupying the site of a wooden fort constructed by William the Conqueror. The mound they sit on in Dane John Gardens is thought to be a Roman cemetery, and an original mosaic is visible in the Roman Museum.

In the Buttermarket half-timbered houses and historic inns are interspersed with shops, and big name brands line the Whitefriars Shopping Centre. The Canterbury accommodation on Booking.com includes luxury hotels with swimming pools, cheap hostels and city centre B&Bs.

Super interesting history at the Cathedral, St Augustine Abbey ruins, the old town, St Martin's church. There is a popular cat cafe and plenty of bars, restaurants and shopping. I was there in late November and some of the open hours were shortened. A beautiful and interesting visit nonetheless.

Absolutely love Canterbury - so pretty. We visited the stunning Cathedral and just loved the selection of shops and seeing the Christmas lights and surrounding stalls around the cathedral. Really put us in a Christmas mood. A huge choice of places to eat and drink - train station within walking distance of town centre.

The Cathedral is undoubtedly the main tourist attraction and you need several hours to fully appreciate the architecture and the features of the building. It isn't a cheap day out (currently the cost of entry is £18.00 per person - October 2025) but still represents good value, as you can use this to visit any number of times within one year. Despite the distance we will go back again, as I now know there are several things we missed during our visit. There are other things to see, but we only had one day in the city itself and the Cathedral was our main choice to visit.

We went for a long weekend - primarily to see the Catherdral. The Catherdral was stunning. We even went to the Sunday morning service, which was genuinely interesting to see. The whole building and surrounding estate was really worth the visit. The part of the city around the Catherdral was also lovely. Lots of indepdendent shops, cafes, restaurants and pubs. Obviosuly some of it caters to the toursit trade, but overall it was really nice. We found a lovely vegetarian cafe, The Veg Box, and had a fantastic Italian meal on the evening. We also went to see a film at the Curzon at what looke dlike a brand new entertainment area. The Riverside, just at the northern end of the centre. Lots of history to learn about and a nice compact city centre. Rest of the weekend utilised our Nationa Trust membership at a couple of nearby places.

Booked this venue due to it being in such a central part of Canterbury. Family of 10 booked at this venue. Other family members booked air b n b but convened at the hotel in the main area every day and stayed there for the duration. The friendly staff were so helpful and nothing was too big or small when we had requests. The entire party ate using their restaurant and bar facilities. We were there for a wedding but the entire weekend was made easy, stress free and enjoyable thanks to all for your help
