Canterbury hotels near Canterbury Cathedral

Pros: A perfect stay. Just could not be beaten on any count. Paul and Heidi offer the ideal mix of friendly and professional service.

Pros: Paul and Heidi have a true treasure and we were delighted to be guests. The bed was comfy, the food delicious and the hosts were lovely!

Pros: Great breakfast in conservatory. Clean room with comfy beds. Just 10 mins from town centre on foot via roads and nice footpath by the river.

Cons: Some noise from main road but quiet during the night so ok really.

Pros: There was so much that was positive - the attention to detail, the décor and quality fittings, the breakfast and good proximity to the centre via various quiet routes, taking about 12 minutes on foot. Heidi and Paul are charming as expected from previous comments we read. They are intent on creating a quality offering, it seems, and have succeeded.

Cons: Perhaps - a very minor detail - the quilt was a little over-warm for this time of the year but it was easily removed!

Pros: Beautiful property and amazingly lovely hosts. We will definitely return for longer!

Cons: N/A

Pros: Very clean and safe lovely surroundings

Cons: Kind and friendly hosts

Pros: Everyone was amazing and kind from the moment we got there and all throughout our stay. Rooms were cleaned daily fresh milk and water replaced every day. Breakfast was really tasty one of my best to date :) We was only about 10 mins from the town and we never used the car once as everything was within walking distance. I will definitely be recommending to all our friends and most certainly be back for a long weekend.

Pros: Good location, easy to find, parking and a pleasant walk into the city. Friendly welcoming hosts. Comfortable room and very good breakfasts. Definitely lived up to its positive reviews and have no hesitation in recommending.

Cons: Nothing really - if I have to say something a cafetiere for coffee with breakfast would be better than the machine!

Pros: A very warm welcome from Heidi & Paul who couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect. The little extras - full choice teas /coffee machine & biscuits. Great continental choice and full breakfast. Spotlessly clean, beds made up in the daytime & towel change if required ( & chocolate treat ). Fan & heater in the room, good shower & plenty of toiletries. Lots of local info & advice. It was our wedding anniversary and the couple presented us with Prosecco for breakfast which was a nice surprise. Bed comfy & pebtyvof cushions.

Cons: Only thing I would say was we were on the ground floor and could hear people moving about in the room above. I think they got up earlier than us! Not a great problem - I’m struggling to find any negatives ! My husband couldn’t find bbc on TV ( maybe that was just him).

Pros: Lovely friendly hosts, fantastic room with every thing I could want. Great breakfast choice and cooked full English as well as cereals , toast etc

Cons: Nothing to dislike at all.

Pros: Superb location and views Fabulous helpful staff

Cons: A proper lounge area would be good to socialise with friends in the hotel

Pros: The staff and accommodations were very tastefully presented. The whole experience was comfortable and generous.

Cons: The stairs but we got playoff help with the luggage.

Pros: great location

Pros: Excellent location & lodge - staff very professional & friendly

Pros: Beautiful views. Lovely cooked breakfast, full English breakfast tasty & substantial. Scrambled egg with salmon, delicious. Apple juice really good. Toiletries were exceptional quality.

Cons: Ran out of sparkling water at the water fountain. Shower fittings unorthodox & a little tricky to negotiate.

Pros: Receptionist is helpful, we lost our way from google map as no reception of Wi-Fi, and the entrance has no obvious signage.

Cons: The 2 bedrooms type located at separate building and it is not a hotel room type. It is like the apartment which we are unexpected. The entrance is at the alley of the main hotel building.

Pros: On site of the Cathedral with free admission to the attraction. Excellent breakfast.

Cons: Not enough plugs for devices

Cons: nothing

Pros: The location is amazing - literally in the cathedral grounds and you get free entry to the cathedral and discounts at nearby restaurants included with your stay. The breakfast is very hearty and great value. There are considered touches in the room such as a hairdryer, fan and a good selection of tea and coffee. The staff were really friendly and helpful.

Cons: Our room was in the additional building and it's definitely not as nice as the main building with the reception and other bedrooms in. The room really stank of damp - I think that cupboard in the bathroom has carpet in it and it soaks up the water that comes over from the shower. The shower isn't a stand up situation so it's either a case of having a bath or attempting a careful balancing act to use the shower! The mattress felt like it was very old and wasn't comfy at all (although the pillows were!), and the bed was a small double (not a complaint, more a point to note for tall people like me and my fiancé!).

Pros: You are paying the upper end price for the location. I was disappointed with the room, the bed was small as was the bathroom sink. The shower was aimed at a person with disabilities, albeit the power of the shower was excellent. ... Breakfast was outstanding as were the staff

Pros: It does not look like a hostel. The owner from the beginning welcomes you and make you feel at home. There is also a welcoming drink in the living room and it is so nice with the chimney on. She is very thoughtful and she has your bed with a map and a sweet and the towel perfectly placed and matched with all the room. She shows you the whole hostel and everything is clean and organised. The kitchen is lovely and it is a pity I was not able to use it.

Cons: I did not find anything that I did not like.

Pros: Great place and staff

Cons: No parking

Pros: I liked the facilities in the kitchen and in the lounge plus sitting in the garden.

Cons: I did not like the behavior of some of the staff (very rough) and I really did not like the system that i met for the first time in my life after my visits at many hostels. They close the kitchen between 10am and 2pm and the dorm from 11am to 2pm what makes my stay very stressful.

Pros: All the staff in there were very kind with everything. The house of the hostel is just amazing, and it is located 15 min walking from city center. The breakfast is very cheap, and very well served. Completely recomendable!

Cons: There is only one shower. However, we didn’t have problem waiting for other. FYN.

Pros: Cozy hostels, kind staff and very convenient. If you need a cheap and clean spot, this could be the place to be.

Cons: Room was smelling like feet, people should be required to keep their shoes in the corridor or in a closed place.

Pros: The bed was extra extra comfy! It was a 10/15 minute walk to Canterbury, which was just what we wanted and the staff were very friendly.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The bed was extremely comfy and the room was super clean. I wasn’t expecting much from the photographs but the room exceeded our expectations. It surprised us how spacious it was and how many facilities the hostel had. Would 100% stay again and recommend to our friends.

Pros: Staff found me a very quiet room as per my request.

Cons: The TV in my room was on it's way out and the screen was very poor, it hurt my eyes trying to watch it. After reporting this, they did nothing. I ate the carvery the first night but didn't think it was value for money as the meat was dry and not too hot, that said the vegetables were very good.

Pros: a perfect family room. Good value for money!

No complaints at all.

No cutlery it crockery to use when ordered take away food. The second room we set up as two single beds. We asked for them to be made into a double but never happened.
