Everything was better than expected after arriving from Heathrow Airport after bumper-to-bumper traffic on the M25.
At checkin the front desk made parking available on the Cathedral grounds and only a couple of minute walk to the inn. Breakfast was one of the best in many weeks in the UK and the location couldn't have been better with FREE access to the Cathedral and only steps away. Grounds were extremely well maintained and the room was excellent wth great internet service.

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.

Enjoyed the historic buildings and the lovely cricket ground which was the reason for our visit.
We ate at a variety of places - good pub (The Two Sawyers), a turkish restaurant A la Turka and the Weavers.
Canterbury was compact and good to walk around.
Only have to avoid the numerous food delivery cycles

Canterbury is one of those rare British cities that has retained its character as it somehow escaped being wrecked by appalling postwar planning decisions. The relatively few modern buildings, like the Marlowe Theatre, are of high quality, at least from the outside. It's a comfortable size to stroll around (and flat) plus it has the two arms of the river to add interest and the opportunity to punt or take a boat tour. Hard to say whether there are more pubs or churches - there are lots of both, so if you don't want to pay for entry to the cathedral there are other historic buildings to see. Didn't bother with the shopping centre so can't pass judgement on its value as a place for shopping - there'll be the usual boring 'high street' chains, no doubt; I did notice a few independent shops in the High Street as well. The tea shops we came across are insanely expensive so are probably best avoided if you're on a budget. We ate at The Old Weaver's House and had a superb meal - their pies are worth a trip to Canterbury alone! The Beaney House museum etc looks interesting and is free - we just explored the front room which has some fine 19th century paintings. Probably worth a more detailed investigation on another visit.

A beautiful historical place to visit the cathedral is a must £17.00 admission per person but that entitles to visit a full year as many times you like the old cobblestone streets are beautiful with little hidden shops.Afternoon tea in Tiny Tim’s is also a place to visit

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.
The Cathedral Lodge was a fantastic choice for our one-day trip to Canterbury. The location is perfect and the breakfast was well above our expectations. The tickets to the cathedral were also included in the room price, so are discounts in many restaurants across the town - which were not even advertised when we booked. Tourists who are like us on a budget should really check out this place. It was the best hotel choice we made during our trip around Southern England. Great value! Excellent service!
Location 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!
The location was so good. it was beautiful and room was clean with comfy beds. a bus stop to Canterbury is right in front of the facility.
the staff were the kindest. all of them were very friendly and helpful in every way they could.
they called for a taxi for us helped with our baggages and even packed delicious breakfast for us since we didn’t have enough time to have it at the hotel.
one of the best stays i’ve evert had and definitely recommend. 11/10
All the staff were great, really friendly & helpful.
The room was clean and tidy but we felt that it catered more for short stays as hanging space was limited. The bathroom, although clean, lacked shelf space. Parking at hotel was no problem as it was right next to a park and ride with easy access to Canterbury town centre. The restaurant was comfortable with a varied menu. The meals we had were well presented & delicious.
This is the 3rd time that I have stayed at The Maidens Chambers and on each occasion, the welcome has been warm, the rooms comfortable and spotless and the facilities are all that you need for an overnight stay. The hotel is located on the edge of the city centre, but that brings with it the benefits of free parking on site and all that Canterbury offers is within a very short walk.
Breakfast was hearty to start the day, Dinner was very good with good prices, room was very clean and roomy, and plenty of parking with secure lighting. Great location to accomplish several short day trips in the area like seeing the Canterbury Cathedral, a restored Viking ship near Ramsgate. and a medieval castle like Dover Castle.
Very tidy and lovely room equipped with everything you need. A good bed and nice bathroom. Location is convenient as well — it’s literally a 3 minute walk to everything you need in the area. Literally nothing bad to say! Definitely staying there if I ever have to go to Canterbury again. Would highly recommend you do the same!
This hotel is smart and comfortable, with helpful staff and a great location in the history-steeped town centre. (You can even see a fragment of the Roman amphitheatre remains through the floor of the reception area.) Our room was large and comfortable. The choice at breakfast was good, with vegan sausages on offer.
This was one of the best stays we have ever had in Canterbury a perfect short break after the Christmas rush, the room was of a high quality, very comfortable king size bed very warm and comfortable room ,
The staff are very polite and helpful an ideal location to stay in the city,
10 out of 10 for service
The room was clean, spacious. The location overlooks the site of an old watermill and is convenient for West station and the city centre.
Breakfast choke was better than some larger hotels I have experienced, and well presented. The evening menu was interesting and good value.
The staff were friendly.
The staff were very available and friendly. The breakfast was great. There was enough parking and the hotel was a short walk into the city centre. The pool was great! Our room was spacious and comfortable. The shower pressure was weak but it was nice to also have the option of a bath.
The hotel is located about 3 miles from Canterbury centre with no bus service. There is however a park and ride at Wincheap for £4/day with very frequent bus service into town centre.
The breakfasts at the hotel are excellent and the dinner menu good value for money.
room was massive. Wasn't too sure about staying in a pub but the room upstairs was clean and comfortable. felt more like a proper hotel. the toilet was huge. really good location (right on top of an affordable pub that opens until late) and right in the city centre.
The Hugo hotel is a great hidden gem in the heart of Canterbury , really clean , very comfortable bed and a great shower a well thought out room, even though it's right it the town centre it was very quiet. we would definitely recommend thanks
The hotel is located just outside of Canterbury city centre on beautiful grounds. The room was spacious, beautifully furnished and the bed was extremely comfortable. The cooked breakfast was excellent.
I really enjoyed my stay at Victoria Hotel. It’s in a very good location close to Canterbury City Centre. My room was clean and was very comfortable. The staff were helpful and friendly.
The hotel is located right in the centre of Canterbury and within walking distance to the cathedral and other places of interest and right in the middle of the best eating places.
