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.

Canterbury is, of course, dominated by the wonderful cathedral but the excellent largely pedestrianised centre is interesting and full of local speciality and national shops. We would recommend the park and ride bus service if you arrive by car. It is sensibly priced, frequent, reliable and really easy to use.Guest review byCarolUnited Kingdom - 10.0
The cathedral is amazing; so much bigger than I expected.
The cathedral is amazing; so much bigger than I expected. Allow a couple of hours to look around it all. The streets are great to wander around and see teh beautiful old buildings. The parks and gardens, particularly along the river are beautiful.Guest review byLisaUnited Kingdom - 10.0

historically excellent, roman museum, medieval gatehouse and gaol, saint augustines abbey remains (and audio tour), local library museum, city centre mostly pedestrianised good range of shops and eating places.Guest review byDavidUnited Kingdom - 10.0

Canterbury was a great place to visit, full of history but also stunning architecture. The beautiful streets lent itself to eating out, great walking, especially by Westgate, lovely ice creams and lots to see. The Roman villa was interesting and the cathedral was stunning. Particularly liked Posillipo Italian restaurant and Kingz Wingz! both of which we could eat outside with a scooter. The Beanie Information centre has very helpful staff, which were friendly and very informative. It would be good to have a guide just for wheelchair access, although the cycle lanes were very handy and well designed.Guest review byJaneUnited Kingdom - 10.0

We went on the ghost tour which was great, with some interesting/scary stories. The Ivy was lovely and the food tasty. Due to the cobbled streets it wasn't so easy to walk around with a walker, which made my arms ache, so it's not very easy if you use a walker or a wheelchair.Guest review byAnonymous - 8.0

The area around the Cathedral was charming but we felt it was expensive to visit the Cathedral. Instead, we went to the Beaney Museum - one of the most interesting local museums we have ever visited. A real gem in the heart of the city.Guest review byHilaryUnited Kingdom

- Scored out of 10, guest rating 8.5Very Good - What previous guests thought, 2,218 reviewsThis is the fourth year that I've stayed at the hotel which speaks for itself. My room was large and comfortable and I was made to feel very welcome by the staff. The restaurant serves a good breakfast and a wide selection of food on the dinner menu. There's a comfortable lounge bar with outside areas at the front and back of the hotel. It's well situated just off the main road into Canterbury and within walking distance of the city centre and both railway stations.Guest review byRobertUnited Kingdom
