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.

Lovely place with lots of unique shops also the main shops and banks you would expect in a big city. Used Canterbury East station and South East Kent trains to travel to Dover Castle . Luke at the hotel told us how to get there only a 5 minute walk from the hotel. Plenty of places to eat or buy food from.
JudithUnited Kingdom - 6.0Scored 6.0
A busy bustling place.
A busy bustling place. The older part of the city is full of narrower streets with independent shops, and is by far the nicer area to stroll around. The cathedral is very interesting, but the charge of £17 to enter is a rip off.

Canterbury is an historic city, as such is easy to get around ancient streets, very intimate centre. For me the Lovely Cathedral is the jewel in the crown, and from the Hampton by Hilton Hotel is a few minutes walk, I could see the Spires from room windows.. This hotel has a rooftop restaurant and the views from there are spectacular, I went for a look. As I travel alone I usually eat at M&S Cafes or similar, and if I need anything else take back sandwiches to hotel. I can recommend Canterbury for a visit, I got train from London St, Pancras to Canterbury West Station, hotel 10 mins walk or Taxi £7,00.

The city abounds with areas to discover...take the time, walk, it will be rewarding. We used local bus services to visit the local region...Deal, Sandwich, Dover and Folkstone...fabulous! We discovered that Good Friday was the best day to see the Cathedral because litugically it is an empty space that day...but it was being prepared for BBC broadcasts and hence was fully open. The surrounds are worth some time also.LukeWAustralia - 10Scored 10
The Cathedral is awesome.
The Cathedral is awesome. Plenty of places to eat and drink....the Cafe du Soleil stood out the food was very good and the staff where friendly & professional. We loved walking around Canterbury, lots of green spaces, side roads that led you on, our stay was too short so we didn't find anywhere that we would avoid.....we'll just have to go back!SarahUnited Kingdom - 8.0Scored 8.0

Enjoyed the historic buildings and the lovely cricket ground which was the reason for our visit. We ate at a variety of places - good pub (The Two Sawyers), a turkish restaurant A la Turka and the Weavers. Canterbury was compact and good to walk around. Only have to avoid the numerous food delivery cycles

- 8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 1,287 reviewsThe 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.PaulineUnited Kingdom

We were also welcomed with lovely complimentary snacks. The kitchen was well equipped for the 7 of us and there were enough bathrooms/toilets facilities for our group. The location of the house was conveniently close to the city and within a short walking distance to all the places we wanted to visit in Canterbury.Wai YingUnited Kingdom

The room size was great and it was lovely and warm with a spare blanket.

Self check in and out was particularly handy and very secure and safe.

The pub around the corner does a decent Carvery meal and there are buses to Canterbury town centre running frequently.
