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.

We went to the Cathedral. Well worth the entrance fee. There is more to see than just the main cathedral. Walk the riverside walk. Roam the side streets as well. It is a small city easy to walk around. Plenty of eating places to suit all budgets.

From all the places I visited in the Kent county, Canterbury...
From all the places I visited in the Kent county, Canterbury was the most captivating city. The city centre is built surrounding a huge cathedral, with many shops and cafes/restaurants/pubs around it. I visited the city on a Saturday morning, and up to the evening it seemed quite lively. The way the blocks are irregularly placed around the cathedral makes it more interesting to explore and walk around (think of it as an opposite to Milton Keynes blocks). The roads in the centre were made of cobblestones and a bit restricted to cars (they can drive through tho), which allows for large groups of people to circulate around it. I definitely recommend it to those who would enjoy a visit into the Canterbury Cathedral, which is incredible. There also happened to be a medieval pageant event going on, which made it even more fascinating!HenriqueUnited Kingdom - Scored 1010

The hotel was ideally placed in the midst of the busy town centre. There are a variety of shops, bars, restaurants, bakeries, nail bars and other tourist attractions including the cathedral (recommend a visit) with its beautiful grounds and gardens, the river for boat rides, a large park close by. Only a short walk to Canterbury East train station. Would recommend the restaurant Pinocchio, a lovely Italian diner with a wide choice of food, a specials board and very friendly, helpful staff.LindaUnited Kingdom - Scored 1010
Canterbury was fascinating.
Canterbury was fascinating. From Roman to medieval history to the present day. There are numerous coffee shops and restaurants. The Coty Centre is pedestrianised and comfortable to walk round. Plenty of guided walking tours are available. I’mAAnonymous - Scored 1010

We found Canterbury an easy walkable city with lots of enjoyable walking options. Our walk in Westgate Gardens along the river was lovely and relaxing. We had tried earlier in the day to walk the ramparts but we couldn’t find any access points as we were strolling around, so we eventually gave up. There are loads of takeaway options in Canterbury to choose from. It would be so great if some of the tourist sites were open later during the spring and summer when the days are longer.CandaceCanada - Scored 8.08.0

I spent a lot of time in the cathedral, it is very interesting and the guided tour for five pounds was excellent. The city is charming with lots of interesting buildings. I ate at The Cosy Club which has good food, pleasant staff and an especially good miso based pudding. The Chapter Pizza restaurant was very good as well. Both restaurants are very reasonably priced.MadeleineUnited Kingdom

- From £140 per nightScored 8.28.2Rated very goodVery good · 2,321 reviewsThe hotel is very convenient for Canterbury town centre. It is located opposite the Marlowe Theatre. We were able to leave luggage after checking out. The reception staff were very helpful and pleasant. The rooms were well presented and the beds were comfortable. Wifi was good throughout. The en-suite bathrooms were very good. Breakfast was very good and nicely served in a light and pleasant space dining room (the former bar). I would stay again.
HilaryUnited Kingdom - From £160 per nightScored 8.38.3Rated very goodVery good · 3,058 reviewsThe cottage was very clean and tidy and had free parking. We arrive at 10:00 on the Friday night, after a 5 hour journey, to be greeted by the lovely Brian, who made us feel very welcome. The property is situated close to the centre of Canterbury so we could walk into town easily (10 mins). The property had everything we needed for our short stay. The garden at the back the hotel has a lovely seating area. We would definitely stay again.JoanneUnited Kingdom
- Scored 8.48.4Rated very goodVery good · 2,413 reviewsThe hotel is in a great location with plenty of parking available. The city centre is within 20 minutes by foot, so it's brilliant to be able to leave the car and enjoy strolling through the old city. Breakfast was great and the staff were very friendly. The room was clean, cozy and spacious with a bathtub included. Good WiFi connection. This hotel will be our first thought whenever we visit Canterbury again.
Hui-LingUnited Kingdom - From £109 per nightScored 7.87.8Rated goodGood · 2,647 reviewsLocation for visiting cathedral and city centre very good but I chose this hotel because advertised parking . Not only was access a nightmare involving very small streets , the car park was full and we then had to reverse up the same streets. Best to park elsewhere at considerable expense and walk. Good breakfast and pleasant staff.
PatUnited Kingdom - From £147.51 per nightScored 8.68.6Rated fabulousFabulous · 5,621 reviewsThe location of the hotel was perfect for a weekend stay in Canterbury. Didn't need to use the car at all as stayed the whole time in the city centre.
