The Victoria Hotel

The Victoria Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"We spent four nights here, the staff were all lovely, especially the breakfast staff. Our room was lovely, quiet considering it was close to a main road and roundabout. 10 minutes walk to the town centre, a map was provided. Large carpark. We had breakfast included which was continental and English. Restaurant was open at dinner time and evening. Food was lovely."

"We had a wonderful stay. The Millers Arms made our Canterbury experience even better. The room was clean and had all the amenities you could need. The people managing the property were extremely friendly and welcoming. The breakfast was amazing! But best of all was the location and the view of Solly’s Orchard from the room. Everything was barely a 5 minute walk from this place. Highly recommended if you want a great stay away from the busy market area."

"Very nice old building, immediately adjacent to the entrance to Canterbury Cathedral ticket office. Centrally located on the Royal Mile. The main downside is that parking is about 1/4 mile away and Ubers and Taxis can only get you within 100 yards of the door"

"We had a two night stay at this guesthouse and for the price we paid had no real complaints. The room was small but adequate for our needs. However, street noise during the night can be problematic there was also a problem with the radiator making it unbearably hot during the night. A basic breakfast is provided which may not suite everyone but was just enough to get us started for the day. The staff member on duty was pleasant, friendly and helpful. A nice touch was the discounted and the vicinity of the nearby car park."
