The Victoria Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great place to stay and explore Canterbury from. Already our second stay, we'll be back again 😊"

Holiday Inn Express Canterbury by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were really friendly and welcoming. Was a little disappointed to be charged for parking, this seemed a little unnecessary given the location and felt like just a way to extract more money from guests. Given the location almost all guests would have to have driven so it would be clearer to include the full costs in one hotel price than have hidden costs as soon as you arrive. "
