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.Cathy - 6.0Scored 6.0
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 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

- From $121.46 per night7.8Scored 7.8GoodRated good· 915 reviewsLocation was amazing, close to the town centre but far enough away that there was no traffic or noise. Room was perfect, bigger than expected. Ticked all the boxes for a B&B and the bed was super comfortable. Great choice of food for breakfast. Staff were accommodating and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. The back garden was lovely and peaceful, a nice additional feature to have that most hotels don't think about. Look forward to out next trip to Canterbury!GraceUnited Kingdom
- From $112.69 per night8.4Scored 8.4Very GoodRated very good· 2,891 reviewsThe cottage was very clean and tidy and had free parking. We arrive at 10:00 on the Friday night, after a 5 hour journey, to be greeted by the lovely Brian, who made us feel very welcome. The property is situated close to the centre of Canterbury so we could walk into town easily (10 mins). The property had everything we needed for our short stay. The garden at the back the hotel has a lovely seating area. We would definitely stay again.JoanneUnited Kingdom
- 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.
