"When we arrived to check in the room was not ready. Turns out they were not even aware of our booking until we showed it to them.

When we did get into the room the large curved screen TV proved to be...

Top Canterbury Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

8/10 Good

"Clean and tidy hotel and the lady behind the bar on the Saturday night was great. Breakfast was really nice and the room was ok. Shower could do with an upgrade to maybe a lager shower head but it was fine. As its city centre it was quite noisy at the front especially as the hotel is surrounded by noisy bars that are open till late. Lucky for us we were in one of the bars until 1:30 so not to bad but this could be an issue for others."

Castle House Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely stay!"

Pilgrims Hotel

8/10 Good

"polite team, breakfast was continental, good quality and well stocked up. great location, room was a bit tired could do with a splash of paint and deep clean. that said we would definitely stay again!"
