Canterbury Hotel Guide - Luxury Hotels in Canterbury, United Kingdom

Quick stopover to visit the Cathedral, restful oasis.

We stayed only one night but wished we could stay more The place is awesome, so nice and tranquil

We had a lovely couple of days on the way to the car ferry

Stayed for a mid-week 2 night break. Location is brilliant but you must pre-book the onsite parking. Room was compact but perfectly suitable (we prefer a king size bed but has forfeited this for the location). Loved the cathedral view and walking back from our meal in town at 10pm we enjoyed sitting in the grounds with no-one around. Very special. Breakfast was great and the fact that we had access to the cathedral for 3 days made the hotel even more reasonably priced.

Comfortable rooms well appointed. Unfortunately on our 2nd night we were kept awake by noise transmitted from the room above from 3am. If booking, and you are sensitive to noise, insist on a non ground floor room. The owner, Nicky, was very apologetic and unfortunately could not move us to an alternate room owing to the busy season. She did arrange for us to move to a nearby B&B which was very comfortable and quiet (Bagham Farm B&B). She refunded the 3rd nights' payment. The meals were very tasteful and competitively priced. We loved the outside garden where we sat for drinks and talked to friendly locals. The hamlet of Chilham is very idyllic & interesting. You can drive, use a bus or train to go to Canterbury or other towns but a car is the best way to access the area. Parking is available.

Great hotel with really friendly staff. Room was clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable and was massive! Was starting to look a little tired around the edges but doesn't stop the enjoyment of your stay. It was very competitively priced and I would recommend it to anyone.

We had a two night stay in Canterbury in September and stayed at the abode. The hotel was in a great location in the centre of the town and was lovely though the bedroom was small. We had breakfast on the first morning which OK - not the best cooked breakfast but ok. However we had cream tea in the afternoon which was delicious The only thing which upset our stay a little was a busker who started playing outside the hotel at midnight on Saturday. We expected the hotel staff to move him on but they didn't until we complained.

This review is based on a £50 overnight stay in the middle of one of Britain's most popular tourist attractions. The welcome by the male receptionist was excellent and he gave me a useful guided tour before showing me the Cathedral Room which I was allocated. No en-suite in this room but it had a fantastic upstairs view of the Cathedral and its grounds. Like my last stay in the Isle of Man the feeling that the floor was not level was confirmed when I placed the remote control on the bedside cabinet and it slid the whole length and fell off the end. It also gave the phrase climbing out of bed a new angle. The doorway was also built in times of smaller stature and I learned to be careful the hard way. However the location could not be better for the City and was about 10 mins walk away from both railway stations. The layout of the stairs and passageways was a challenge but I coped easily as it turned out. The breakfast experience reminded me of times gone by but was none the worse for it. The mature gentlemen in charge was most efficient and coped admirably. A quirky hotel, a Travelodge antidote, but excellent value for money.

The location is good and the hotel condition is fabulous. The drawbacks are 1. Rubbish toilet paper. 2. Not enough cooking facilities in the kitchen.

We stayed for three nights and had a fabulous time. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Breakfast was delicious. Location couldn't be better.
