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 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.

The cathedral was beautiful !
The cathedral was beautiful ! The neighborhood has a lot of walkable streets wear tennis shoes though uneven pavements , very unsafe feeling environment where cycles park. There is limited parking there so you have to park blocks away and pay a premium.JaniceUnited States - 8.0Scored 8.0

We only stayed one night and saw everything we wanted to around the city; had we come by car we would have gone further afield and I am sure there were buses but this was deliberately a one night city break and we covered everything by walking. Local independent shops were good, Corkk for English wines and good coffee shop opposite Burgate Coffee Shop with fantastic cakes. The Parrot and The Dolphin served good food and drinks.AnneUnited Kingdom

- From US$143.84 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 635 reviewsWhat a treasure! This is a brilliant small hotel, just a few minutes walk from the City centre. The room was so clean and cozy. I was staying in the annexe room, which was great as I could come and go through a separate entrance. There is a min i fridge with water and fresh milk, and breakfast is brought to the room on a tray. Breakfast, although continental was really good - fresh yogurt/granola, juice, hot toast and jam, fresh fruit and patisserie. Its really well thought out. I would definitely stay again.SusanUnited Kingdom

- From US$145.56 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 5,416 reviewsThe hotel was on a pedestrian precinct, which I would describe as central to Canterbury. It had cafes, bars and shops/boutiques there. Further up on the High Street, we did witness a few homeless people begging on the street. But we engaged and said hello not just ignored them and they were polite back, so I didn't feel uncomfortable, and it didn't detract from how I felt about the area.DeborahUnited Kingdom

Loved the city centre location so close to the many attractions Canterbury has to offer, and literally right opposite the Marlowe Theatre which couldn't be more convenient when seeing a show there. My second stay at the Pilgrim Hotel and will definitely be back!AmandaUnited Kingdom
- From US$100.06 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 2,920 reviewsWe were allowed to park before our check-in so that we could explore Canterbury centre, which is a 15 minute walk away. Both check-in and staff were great, the hotel grounds are fantastic and the bar area is a bonus. Lovely choice of food for breakfast. Howletts Animal Park is only a 10 minute drive away, Ebury is perfect for exploring the area.
CraigUnited Kingdom - From US$137.58 per night8.3Scored 8.3Very goodRated very good· 1,567 reviewsA very nice stylish hotel in a green and quiet environment, a bit out of city centre, but only 7 minutes away by car. I liked the old-style interiors of the manor house, even the squeaky floors, it all had a nice flair to it. Very polite staff and the best cooked breakfast I have ever had in a hotel of this category.

Welcoming staff, room fairly basic but warm, clean and comfortable. Nice garden area. Honesty bar a nice touch. Breakfast went down very well.

As with all hotels and B and Bs it would be nice to have lighter weight bedding options for summer months. We were able to open the windows for fresh air and no real traffic noise through the night. Only a few minutes walk into the centre of Canterbury and the cathedral
EileenUnited Kingdom - From US$124.81 per night8.8Scored 8.8FabulousRated fabulous· 1,184 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.
