Lock in a great price for The Victoria Hotel – rated 8.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

The breakfast was brilliant. The room was lovely - quite literally the best hotel we've been to in a long while.

Phoebe, United Kingdom

The food in the hotel was delicious. They have a continental breakfast at a reduced rate which is very good when you can't have a hot breakfast. Most hotels charge the same for hot or cold so that was a plus. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Mccormack, Ireland

Me and my Husband stayed in a very spacious Double room for 1 night on the night of our Wedding April 2017. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was very clean and ready for our arrival, we even request to book in early as the Wedding service was at 10.30am, the staff was very accommodating and agreed to an earlier book in at 12pm. I would definately suggest this Hotel to anyone I know. I would like to add 1 thing to anyone "Never Judge A Book By Its Cover" On behalf of my Husband and me, we would like to thank the staff and Hotel for making such a perfect ending to a wonderful day 😄 👏 👏 👏 xx

Teresa, United Kingdom

John, United Kingdom

Staff welcoming and helpful. Accommodation comfortable and of a high standard.

Jill, United Kingdom

Great location only a 20 minute walk to downtown Canterbury and attractions. Room was beautiful and spacious. Beds comfortable. Everything very clean. Wifi worked well. Staff friendly and helpful. Full English breakfast and was very good. Hotel also serves linch and dinner which was convenient. We were very pleased with this hotel and would recommend it to all traveling to Canterbury.

Janice, United States of America

My wife and I were extremely pleased with all that this hotel had to offer and would have no hesitation in recommending it to friends and family. We hope to pay a return visit later this year.

Charles, United Kingdom

T hotel is situated on a main road axis but just 10 mins walk from the centre of Canterbury. There are frequent buses that pass in from of the hotel and a lovely walk through a park to the city centre. The rooms are large and well equipped. The beds are very comfy and there bathroom is lovely. Lovely, helpful, professional staff. Great breakfast.

Slinkykitten, United Kingdom

We were given a self-contained flat that included a living-room and kitchen area. The breakfasts were excellent.

Jonathan, United Kingdom

Excellent service - nothing was too much trouble. And when I left some clothes behind they rang the same day to let me know and offered to post them to me. Food was all delicious and great value for money and room extremely spacious for a city hotel. Easy walk into the centre and all attractions. Highly recommended.

눉The room was plenty big enough but because of its shape, there was only a small gap to get around the end of the bed. This is being a bit picky, as it was a large room otherwise
눇A nice traditional, family-run hotel. Makes a change from the modern chains Excellent value for money Great breakfast, freshly cooked, big selection and arrived quickly Staff very friendly

눉Dislike twin beds pushed together to make a larger bed. Would prefer a double bed without a seam between us In our opinion it makes the bed uncomfortable.
눇Very good breakfast. Not far to walk into the city centre. The walk also takes you through some beautiful gardens and along the riverside.
