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.
What Guests Said About Canterbury:

Loads of places to eat.
Loads of places to eat. A lovely medieval feel about the place. So many lovely old buildings. Too many very large groups of (schooĺl/kind-of-supervised) kids. The massive centre is mainly cobbled narrow streets with no cars! The cathedral is wondrous. We ate at Pho Canterbury - Vietnamese, The Olive Grove - Mediterranean, Posillipo - Italian. Would return to any of them. All first class.Guest review byJenniferUnited Kingdom - 10.0
I was there for a conference, so I wasn't sight seeing.
I was there for a conference, so I wasn't sight seeing. I've been before for a break and it was great. Lots to do and see. Last time I did a boat tour on the river. Some of the younger delegates at my conference went for a Karaoke night.Guest review bySusanUnited Kingdom - 8.0
I came to a gathering of the Cathedral Music Trust.
I came to a gathering of the Cathedral Music Trust. The Cathedral could not have been more welcoming and helpful. Great range of music. Canterbury is very user friendly: huge choice of places to eat and drink and at reasonable prices. Lots and lots of history - the cradle of English Christianity. Everything is within a reasonable if not easy walking distance huge variety of early and later buildings: a living book on English architecture. Seething with humanity and vitality given the student population and closeness to continent. Note the prairy planting in the cathedral close. Good sign posting and information boards.Guest review byBradley - 10.0
Canterbury is 'bathed' in much history and archcitecture...
Canterbury is 'bathed' in much history and archcitecture that reminds of you how well and asthetic thinking went into buildings made a few hundred years ago. Restaurants tea/coffee rooms are abundant. Good shopping area with all you could wish for. Make the most of culture with a museum etc, two theatres and some great pubs with lots of character!!!!! Find 'The Parrot' pub (14th century) out of the way but well worth a visit! Don't forget the cathedral - beautiful...even if you only look at it from the outside! We are 'city freaks' and so glad we made sure that Canterbury was an experience we haven't missed! You can easily get a train to Margate and other destinations.,Guest review byKerryUnited Kingdom - 10.0
The cathedral was fantastic.
The cathedral was fantastic. The light and sound show was very atmospheric and worth the money. Good range of shops and luckily our hotel had its own parking although that was an extra cost. All in all it was a great short break (3 nights). We come from suburbs of London so it was only an hour and a half drive.Guest review byMarilynUnited Kingdom - 10.0
We loved the set up of the shops and restaurants in the city...
We loved the set up of the shops and restaurants in the city within all the old buildings which looked stunning. The cathedral visit was wonderful with a guided tour lasting about an hour and a half which was well worth the additional £5, better than the audio tour.Guest review byYvonneUnited Kingdom

- From $92.22 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very Good - What previous guests thought, 1,140 reviewsThis was my wife's favourite place to stay during our break. It was clean. It was also quiet, which impressed me given one evening there was live music in the pub below. By chance, they happened to serve my favourite beer from my student days, and I can assure you I did test it, although not in my student day style. The Inn is very well placed to explore both Canterbury and the surrounding area, being in walking distance of the town centre, well placed for driving, and very close to one of the railway stations.Guest review byDylanLuxembourg
- From $108.25 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 8.4Very Good - What previous guests thought, 2,205 reviewsThe hotel is in a great location with plenty of parking available. The city centre is within 20 minutes by foot, so it's brilliant to be able to leave the car and enjoy strolling through the old city. Breakfast was great and the staff were very friendly. The room was clean, cozy and spacious with a bathtub included. Good WiFi connection. This hotel will be our first thought whenever we visit Canterbury again.Guest review byHui-LingUnited Kingdom
