I was truly surprised how good this place was considering the price. The room is very big and comfortable, and breakfast is varied and tasty. The city center is walkable from the hotel, around 15-20 minutes.

Location is perfection. Right in the middle of the old part of the city and a very short walk to the cathedral. The Family room in the attic was great, we opened the window and listened to the birds, there was a door between the master bedroom and the kids room which is always nice. Breakfast was lovely.

Nice Hotel well located (walking distance from Canterbury center) with a parking.
The indoor swimming pool is definitively a plus for kids.
Rooms were goods as expected, and the breakfast was nice too.

Pub staff was incredibly friendly and professional. The dinner menu was quite tasty and they were able to fit me in without a booking. Also the size of the tub in the room was delightful; I'm quite tall and I could actually fit into it which is rare in hotels.

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.

We loved exploring the Kent area whilst based in Canterbury. We did 3 x Day trips - to Whitstable, Margate and Ramsgate. Then the White Cliffs of Dover and on our final day did a day trip to Dover Castle.

Beautiful with loads of independent shops.
Beautiful with loads of independent shops. Really beautiful gems around the cathedral. Difficult to find decent parking in town. Public car parks not cheap and can’t vouch for their safety. Most city centre hotels don’t have their own car parks…which is a big problem.

Charming historic and very walkable.
Charming historic and very walkable. The cathedral is a must to visit. We also did a ghost walk which was hugely entertaining. The town has an eclectic mix of eateries , big name stores peppered with interesting independents.

I know Canterbury well as parents have lived in many locations surrounding the area including Reculver, Herne Bay, Seasalter, Whitstable. Not easy to get around from area to close area outside Canterbury using taxis. No taxis from various train stations to various surrounding areas. When travelling with friend in wheel chair it was a nightmare. Could not get any taxis. Luckily we were able to rely on relatively good bus services using disabled free bus passes.

The cathedral was beautiful !
The cathedral was beautiful ! The neighborhood has a lot of walkable streets wear tennis shoes though uneven pavements , very unsafe feeling environment where cycles park. There is limited parking there so you have to park blocks away and pay a premium.

We only stayed one night and saw everything we wanted to...
We only stayed one night and saw everything we wanted to around the city; had we come by car we would have gone further afield and I am sure there were buses but this was deliberately a one night city break and we covered everything by walking.
Local independent shops were good, Corkk for English wines and good coffee shop opposite Burgate Coffee Shop with fantastic cakes. The Parrot and The Dolphin served good food and drinks.
The location could hardly be better for visiting Canterbury. It is only a ten-minute walk to the city centre. Another big positive is that there is ample parking for anyone arriving by car. The building is a beautiful 14th century timber-frame construction, that is now a restaurant on the ground floor with hotel accommodation above, entered by a separate door so that guests don't have to walk through the dining area to get to bedrooms. There is no breakfast service, but there are plenty of cafes nearby.
Breakfast is better than I expected and the hotel allows dogs to be with us in the restaurant. Everyone is super friendly, they welcome dogs very much. There is a huge free-run area behind the hotel for dogs and chill. The parking area is in front of the hotel, we feel very safe parking there. It is just 10 mins walk to the city centre, and a lot of supermarkets nearby. I highly recommend the EBURY hotel and would love to stay again.
Breakfast and dinner was great, plenty of choices, well presented and very tasty.
Room was comfortable and clean and had all that we needed.
Nice grounds and in a quiet location, although close enough to Canterbury for a quick drive.
The staff were very friendly and extremely accommodating - nothing was an issue for them.
Would recommend this to others. If we go again, I would ask to stay in the newer part.
Did enjoy our stay there.
The hotel is very comfortable, only 15 rooms. The staff were very friendly and made the stay memorable. Situated just outside Canterbury, easy access to city. There is a Park’n’ride, just a few minutes away, excellent way to city centre. The food was excellent, cooked to perfection. I would definitely stay here again. We only booked a small room as we were there only one night. For a longer stay worth having a bigger room. Thank you
The hotel was only a 7 minute walk to Canterbury town centre but was on a quiet calm little street.
The room size was great and it was lovely and warm with a spare blanket. There was a kettle and a coffee pot to make teas and coffees as well as a little fridge if we had anything we wanted to keep in there. The bed was super comfy and shower was lovely.
Self check in and out was particularly handy and very secure and safe.
Location - excellent in Canterbury city centre.Parking available right outside hotel - there were still spaces available the night I stayed.
I inadvertently paid twice. The hotel contacted me promptly and refunded the over-payment.
Friendly staff.Room clean, quiet and comfortable.Good continental breakfast delivered to room due to coronavirus restrictions.
room was massive. Wasn't too sure about staying in a pub but the room upstairs was clean and comfortable. felt more like a proper hotel. the toilet was huge. really good location (right on top of an affordable pub that opens until late) and right in the city centre.
The staff were very welcoming and helpful. The room was very neat, clean and tidy and the facilities were excellent. The hotel is very quite and in an excellent location. The breakfast area was very clean and spacious and the breakfast that was served was ample.
The Hugo hotel is a great hidden gem in the heart of Canterbury , really clean , very comfortable bed and a great shower a well thought out room, even though it's right it the town centre it was very quiet. we would definitely recommend thanks
Location great, hotel stylish and welcoming - room comfortable, clean and fully equipped- dining facilities and lounge/bar area nicely designed, warm & welcoming and staff in all areas very welcoming, smart, polite and professional
The hotel is very conveniently situated close to the city centre. Staff were very welcoming and on site security was excellent. My room was comfortable and well furnished. Breakfast was good quality with a wide choice on the menu.
The hotel is located right in the centre of Canterbury and within walking distance to the cathedral and other places of interest and right in the middle of the best eating places.
I love that the hotel was sooo close to the city centre, I was about a 10 minute wait walk and a beautiful one at that! The car park was handy. the area is lovely too.
Great location in centre of Canterbury. Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast buffet. Hotel is relatively recently built - rooms were clean and comfortable
