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.

A beautiful historical place to visit the cathedral is a must £17.00 admission per person but that entitles to visit a full year as many times you like the old cobblestone streets are beautiful with little hidden shops.Afternoon tea in Tiny Tim’s is also a place to visit

We loved exploring the Kent area whilst based in Canterbury. We did 3 x Day trips - to Whitstable, Margate and Ramsgate. Then the White Cliffs of Dover and on our final day did a day trip to Dover Castle.PettinaAustralia - 10Scored 10
Beautiful with loads of independent shops.
Beautiful with loads of independent shops. Really beautiful gems around the cathedral. Difficult to find decent parking in town. Public car parks not cheap and can’t vouch for their safety. Most city centre hotels don’t have their own car parks…which is a big problem.

I know Canterbury well as parents have lived in many locations surrounding the area including Reculver, Herne Bay, Seasalter, Whitstable. Not easy to get around from area to close area outside Canterbury using taxis. No taxis from various train stations to various surrounding areas. When travelling with friend in wheel chair it was a nightmare. Could not get any taxis. Luckily we were able to rely on relatively good bus services using disabled free bus passes.Cathy

- 8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 2,752 reviewsThe Cathedral Lodge was a fantastic choice for our one-day trip to Canterbury. The location is perfect and the breakfast was well above our expectations. The tickets to the cathedral were also included in the room price, so are discounts in many restaurants across the town - which were not even advertised when we booked. Tourists who are like us on a budget should really check out this place. It was the best hotel choice we made during our trip around Southern England. Great value! Excellent service!JingboIreland
- From R$ 626.83 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 912 reviewsThe inn is located within easy walking distance to the historic area. It's a quick 6 or 7 minute walk to the Canterbury West train station. Although the inn's front door is always locked, access instructions were easy to follow. The common areas were clean as was the bedroom and bathroom. Everything in the bedroom and bathroom was in good working order. WiFi worked really well. The continental breakfast selection was great with the option to purchase a full English breakfast if desired.
BarbUnited States - 7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 35 reviewsThe property is perfectly located just a short distance from Canterbury city centre, in a dead end close that is very quiet and peaceful. Unlike a previous reviewer who just looked at the road and turned around as it's a working class area, I never found it intimidating the exact opposite to be honest. The property was very clean and the beds everyone said they were very comfortable, Overall this property is a great base camp.

M J CarrollUnited States - From R$ 581.59 per night7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 2,023 reviewsWe had booked to stay in this hotel to attend our son's graduation at Canterbury Cathedral, which is a short walk from the hotel. It is a historic house with spacious comfortable rooms. Very helpful staff. The breakfast was a buffet with a good range of cold food. I wondered about this when booking but it was actually very good and to be honest better than the usual 'full English'.

Staff very friendly and helpful.

- From R$ 644.86 per night8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 1,190 reviewsI couldn't have been closer to the entrance to Canterbury Cathedral, my main attraction. The breakfast was excellent. I DO like a real English breakfast. The room was larger than the average British hotel room--meaning that I could leave my suitcases flat on the floor and still walk around.
