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.

The Cathedral is magnificent and the docent-led tour perfect for even slow walkers. The volunteers scattered about the precinct helpful on my return trips ( I made 4 in one day) to the cathedral. The town has wonderful choices for food. I highly recommend The Parrot. The plaza outside of the cathedral is filled at night with vibrant crowd. Enjoyed the buskers who sang everything from sea chanties to Liverpool anthems. Two other sights not to miss are the ruins of the Augustine Abbey and St Martin's, the oldest Christian English Church in continuous use.Linda - Scored 1010
Great city. Very historic, Roman influences.
Great city. Very historic, Roman influences. Worth doing a walking tour or bus trip. Very clean. Some great restaurants. The cathedral dominates, very imposing and worth a look from the outside. Some great pubs too, we went to the Old Weavers overlooking the river. The crooked house book shop is also worth a look, and try their 'blind date' book! The Beany building (free to enter) is worth a look, and the Roman Museum.AAnonymousUnited Kingdom - Scored 1010

A lovely town with a medieval/renaissance vibe and a famous cathedral. We walked the whole central area in 2 hours and then just leisurely strolled the small streets and popped into shops. Westgate Gardens and Abbots Mill Garden are absolutely charming. Had a bite to eat at a wonderful French bakery, Cafe St Pierre. For a more substantial and inexpensive lunch, Plan Burrito Canterbury. Part of the cathedral façade is under restoration, if you are going for that, it is best to find out when it will be finished. Overall, the town can be seen in 1 day. We stayed here for 2 days but spent one day in Dover, there is a bus from Canterbury that takes only half an hour.

Lovely town centre.
Lovely town centre. The Cathedral was beautiful and is a must-see. Also, I'd recommend booking a guide that will give more insight into the historical background of the cathedral. Take a 45 minute boat cruise https://www.canterburyrivertours.co.uk/ on River Strout. our guide Alex was very good and gave a lot of information on Canterbury. Had a good meal at the local Wetherspoon. There're two zoos in Canterbury: Wingham zoo and Howletts Wild animal park. We went to the latter mentioned. The wild animals have a huge area to roam around that bares the chance of not necessarily seeing them close up but saw lots of monkeys and gorillas. Elephants were quite a sight as they were just let out to the front area. The rhinos also came up to us and also managed to catch the anteaters walking about looking for food. I'd suggest you walk around and if you cannot see an animal, go back a bit later and you might just catch them like we did with the anteaters. Also visited some seaside towns around Canterbury and I'd recommend them if you fancy a walk along the beach in Whitstable, Herne Bay and Deal. Dover castle and the White Cliffs of Dover also worth a visit.EmeseUnited Kingdom - Scored 6.06.0
The people were very nice and friendly .
The people were very nice and friendly . There were lots of closed down shop fronts which looked tacky . There was a huge charge to go inside the cathedral ( crazy ) huge charge to go on boat and go to Roman museum . We choose one activity. There were lots of good places to eat and drink and stunning historical places . Car parks were not easy to find , run down looking and wifi was a huge problem .mariaUnited Kingdom - Scored 1010
The cathedral is a must.
The cathedral is a must. I had an English Heritage pass so was able to get 20% off entry, plus your ticket lasts a year! Many places nearby to visit with your English Heritage pass including Deal and Walmer castles. It was lovely to just walk around Cathedral, some interesting independent shops plus the normal shops. Plenty of places to stop for a coffee or eat and let the world go by. A walk along the river is a must.

- From $117.13 per nightScored 8.38.3Rated very goodVery Good · 3,122 reviewsBreakfast 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.MinnieSoUnited Kingdom
- From $126.24 per nightScored 8.08.0Rated very goodVery Good · 856 reviewsThe 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.
