We then had to wait two hours whilst the owner came to the property to get the room ready. Waiting outside in the side proved to be a disaster as their outdoor table and chair was covered in a black bitumen type substance that got all over the bottom of my trousers and completely ruined them.

Top Canterbury Hotel Reviews

The Victoria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful old building, well maintained and solidly built, with nicely stocked gardens. Despite proximity to busy roundabout it was gloriously peaceful. Bedrooms roomy and well furnished, beds super comfortable. Very easy short walk into heart of city, so it was lovely to park the car at the hotel for the duration of the stay. Breakfast, both continental and cooked, plentiful and fresh. Good range of meals in the restaurant, including daily carvery."

Pilgrims Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Nice old building which was very clean. Lots of stairs so not so good for people with mobility problems. We had a leak in the bathroom from old radiator and toilet and were given another room without any hassle. Freedom to come and go as we pleased. Also parking deal so we could leave the car knowing it was quite safe. Staff were all very pleasant. The bar was good, staffed by receptionist so no bustling room but quiet and restful. We have been to this hotel three times now and find it very good for a quiet weekend."
