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.

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.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...
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

- 8.9Scored 8.9ExcellentRated excellent· 2,716 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 $149.54 per night8.6Scored 8.6ExcellentRated excellent· 1,275 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.
DylanLuxembourg - From $122.25 per night9.3Scored 9.3WonderfulRated wonderful· 1,160 reviewsUpon arrival, we were greeted by the very pleasant and friendly owner Stuart who showed us to our rooms and offered advice on nearby attractions. The breakfast was amazing one of the best I had ever had I must add as I am a bit of a foodie. Great location, roughly a 7min drive to Canterbury Town centre. My daughter enjoyed the surrounding woodland with resident wild pigs which gave the setting a back to nature ambience. Would definitely recommend and visit again if in the area.ClaristaUnited Kingdom
- From $118.38 per night8.8Scored 8.8ExcellentRated excellent· 627 reviewsLocation, just outside the City Gate -- easy walk into centre and the cathedral. The Dickens Room was clean, light, airy and spacious, with view of city wall tower. Not noisy, in spite of facing on a busy street. Staff was helpful with parking next door and a city map. Breakfast was attractive and generous, but lacking in protein. Everything was sweet. A boiled egg, or some cheese would benefit people with blood sugar concerns.CleliaUnited States of America
- 7.9Scored 7.9GoodRated good· 36 reviewsThe property is perfectly located just a short distance from Canterbury city centre, in a dead end close that is very quiet and peaceful. Unlike a previous reviewer who just looked at the road and turned around as it's a working class area, I never found it intimidating the exact opposite to be honest. The property was very clean and the beds everyone said they were very comfortable, Overall this property is a great base camp.
