Location. Peaceful.Excellent breakfast Everything was great besides the poor wifi. Also no air conditioning. It was mentioned very clearly but I somehow missed it. Highlighting it for people like me. Double room was a standard UK double. So if you want a larger room and bed, book a twin room and request for the beds to be joined. Room is bigger with more space to put stuff. The hotel and service is just lovely

A gorgeous, charming boutique hotel, located in the centre of historic Canterbury. Quirky historic building with modern interior design features. Perfect location for exploring this beautiful city. The rooms are beautiful and spotlessly clean, absolutely loved the luxurious toiletries, Verden is my favourite brand, great tea selection too. The breakfast was not your typical breakfast buffet and in fact a lovely menu cooked to order, it was delicious.

The cottage was very spacious and with everything needed for a family with a newborn, to enjoy a short stay in Canterbury. Everything was spotless clean, the rooms were very spacious, with generous wardrobes as well as the bathroom. The kitchen was fully equipped with hob, oven, microwave, kettle, and dish washer.

I was pleased to see oat milk and plenty of cooked breakfast suitable for vegetarians at breakfast. Good to have to opt in for room cleaning as standard rather than opt out. Gosia had made the room up very nicely. I had a few queries and all the staff were lovely and helpful .

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.

Canterbury is a beautiful city even though it was very wet we had a lovely time. We went to complete our Christmas shopping and we were not disappointed. The markets are good and there are stalls that offer real handmade crafted goods. Our hotel was central and we found lots of lovely places to eat and to grab a coffee. We will definitely go back!

The Cathedral is a must as it is surrounded by many historic buildings as well as the views of the Kings School. The ruined Abbey is nearby and worth a visit. The lack of vehicles in the central area is wonderful. Several pleasant parks are within the city and some small rivers cross the it. The library and museum are well worth a look particularly the museum with a reasonably good collection as well as regular featured exhibitions.

Canterbury is beautiful. The cathedral is a must. The Christmas market lovely but shuts at 6pm! We ate in the Cosy Club which was good. As a disabled person, the cobbled streets can be a bit painful on the mobility scooter!

Super interesting history at the Cathedral, St Augustine Abbey ruins, the old town, St Martin's church. There is a popular cat cafe and plenty of bars, restaurants and shopping. I was there in late November and some of the open hours were shortened. A beautiful and interesting visit nonetheless.

Absolutely love Canterbury - so pretty.

Absolutely love Canterbury - so pretty. We visited the stunning Cathedral and just loved the selection of shops and seeing the Christmas lights and surrounding stalls around the cathedral. Really put us in a Christmas mood. A huge choice of places to eat and drink - train station within walking distance of town centre.

We loved everything. Little Wisteria is a very spacious modern and impeccably clean loft apartment. It is in a rural location, but only 35 minutes walk from the Canterbury town centre. The hosts, Colette and Mark are lovely, warm people who make you feel very welcome. They have paid a lot of attention to detail when sett up the apartment. It has great views and really does feel like being home. I would not hesitate to recommend Little Wisteria to anyone looking for a 5 star accommodation near Canterbury.

Christmas break in Canterbury . Our stay at the Abode Hotel in Canterbury over Christmas was truly exceptional, with comfortable rooms, friendly and attentive staff, and a prime hotel location that made exploring the city and our short walks to Canterbury Cathedral very enjoyable . Thank you and we look forward to seeing you again next year ! With best wishes Maryna and the family

Lovely well equipped kitchen/ dining area with beautiful wooden beams on the ceiling. Split on 2 levels so bedrooms are private and quiet with very comfortable beds. Excellent location right in the town centre near to shops, pubs and restaurants. Stunning views of the Cathedral and the vibrant city centre. Would definitely go back.

it’s in the city centre and has parking ( charged ) so is ideal for those wishing to explore Canterbury on foot. it is an individual hotel with a nice size rooms , not a chain ( or at least I don’t think it’s a chain ).
