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.

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 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 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 - 8.0

We found people we came into contact with friendly and helpful,particularly at the hotel,on the boat trip we had and particularly at a restaurant called Marlowe’s just opposite the hotel,lovely food and delightful staff. Getting round the city on foot is easy,by car it’s more problematicalGuest review byJudithUnited Kingdom - 10.0
We very much enjoyed touring Canterbury.
We very much enjoyed touring Canterbury. We walked about the old town, had tea and scones, toured the Cathedral and participated in the 530 Evensong and then had a nice pub dinner at the Parrot Pub. We walked along part of the city walls. Highly recommended for history.Guest review byGordonUnited States

Lovely little garden you can sit in and relax with a drink or cuppa. Across the road from a large Aldi if you need anything. Friendly staff on reception, there is a bar too in the hotel and continental breakfast with a good variety of breakfast foods.Guest review byLindaUnited Kingdom
