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.

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.Daniels - 10Scored 10

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 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 - 10Scored 10

Canterbury is a lovely old historical partly walled City, it has a beautiful Cathedral and a castle well worth visiting. The high st is a mixture of modern and quaint old shops, the older buildings/architecture is lovely to see. Great variety of cafes/restaurants/pubs to visit . We visited the Olive Grove for dinner on the first night great food , very friendly staff, good atmosphere! Guided walks available throughout the day & evening . Two days was not enough to see & do all we wanted, Will definitely be back again soon.

- From £160 per night8.9Scored 8.9FabulousRated fabulous· 2,691 reviewsThe Lodge is positioned in the grounds of the Cathedral, which is perfect for looking around the centre of Canterbury. Plus, you have free access to the Cathedral itself, Staff are welcoming and helpful and the rooms are excellent with a view of the Cathedral from your bedroom bay window. I would reccomend not missing out on the breakfast, which is cooked to order and the serving staff look after you very well. Overall, its a bit more pricey than the usual well known hotels, but, the overall experience is well worth the price.
GaryUnited Kingdom - From £120 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 1,271 reviewsThe 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.

ManeeshaQatar - From £93.26 per night8.6Scored 8.6FabulousRated fabulous· 5,310 reviewsFront desk staff were very lovely, they took the time to ask us if we were in town for business or leisure, when we would prefer to have breakfast, and on check out they helped us leave our luggage with concierge to allow us to spend a bit more time in Canterbury. Hotel was very clean, and the thermostat is fully adjustable, the room heats up or cools down quickly. Breakfast included fresh waffles which I loved. Good choice of cooked or continental.MarthaUnited Kingdom

- From £99 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 2,546 reviewsWe upgraded our room and were overwhelmed with the size. It was more like an apartment then a hotel room. All facilities in the room were exceptional. The food was plentiful and delicious. The location of the hotel being right in the centre of Canterbury was great, easy walking distance to all areas, and although quite busy and noisy on the street, not a sound could be heard within the room.MarilynUnited Kingdom
