Nice Hotel well located (walking distance from Canterbury center) with a parking.

Breakfast and dinner was great, plenty of choices, well presented and very tasty.
Room was comfortable and clean and had all that we needed.
Nice grounds and in a quiet location, although close enough to Canterbury for a quick drive.
The staff were very friendly and extremely accommodating - nothing was an issue for them.
Would recommend this to others. If we go again, I would ask to stay in the newer part.
Did enjoy our stay there.

Location is perfection. Right in the middle of the old part of the city and a very short walk to the cathedral. The Family room in the attic was great, we opened the window and listened to the birds, there was a door between the master bedroom and the kids room which is always nice. Breakfast was lovely.

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 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.

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.

Charming historic and very walkable.
Charming historic and very walkable. The cathedral is a must to visit. We also did a ghost walk which was hugely entertaining. The town has an eclectic mix of eateries , big name stores peppered with interesting independents.

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.

We only stayed one night and saw everything we wanted to...
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.
What 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.
The location could hardly be better for visiting Canterbury. It is only a ten-minute walk to the city centre. Another big positive is that there is ample parking for anyone arriving by car. The building is a beautiful 14th century timber-frame construction, that is now a restaurant on the ground floor with hotel accommodation above, entered by a separate door so that guests don't have to walk through the dining area to get to bedrooms. There is no breakfast service, but there are plenty of cafes nearby.
Breakfast 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.
The hotel is very comfortable, only 15 rooms. The staff were very friendly and made the stay memorable. Situated just outside Canterbury, easy access to city. There is a Park’n’ride, just a few minutes away, excellent way to city centre. The food was excellent, cooked to perfection. I would definitely stay here again. We only booked a small room as we were there only one night. For a longer stay worth having a bigger room. Thank you
The 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.
Location - excellent in Canterbury city centre.Parking available right outside hotel - there were still spaces available the night I stayed.
I inadvertently paid twice. The hotel contacted me promptly and refunded the over-payment.
Friendly staff.Room clean, quiet and comfortable.Good continental breakfast delivered to room due to coronavirus restrictions.
Hotel had a great location. I appreciated that Reception showed me a delightful way to walk into the center of Canterbury through gardens and alongside the river and it was one of the prettiest parts of the city and very restful. Also there was a pleasant garden at the back of the hotel.
Dining staff were very friendly and helpful as was Reception.
The hotel is wonderfully situated in the centre of Canterbury. It's a budget hotel and we did not have very high expectations. However, the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Overall, the place feels a little tired but, for one night, it's absolutely fine. Free.e Wifi was a bonus
The area the hotel is in is amazing. We loved that it opened into the closed off courtyard of the cathedral. It made it seem like we had the whole place to ourselves, after a certain hour. Also, the sparkling water station was above and beyond.
The Hugo hotel is a great hidden gem in the heart of Canterbury , really clean , very comfortable bed and a great shower a well thought out room, even though it's right it the town centre it was very quiet. we would definitely recommend thanks
Nice flat in a quiet block. Excellent location within walking distance of the centre of Canterbury. Lovely comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable seating area. Parking is a real bonus especially in Canterbury.
The hotel is located right in the centre of Canterbury and within walking distance to the cathedral and other places of interest and right in the middle of the best eating places.
I love that the hotel was sooo close to the city centre, I was about a 10 minute wait walk and a beautiful one at that! The car park was handy. the area is lovely too.
Good location with easy walk into the centre of Canterbury. Parking on site was really appreciated.
Spacious, clean room. Helpful staff and very good breakfast.
