Budget, family-friendly stay in heart of Canterb'y

The Pilgrim's Hotel was a great value for the money. Our room was cozy and comfortable with plenty of space for our family of three. The lounge/common area has big couches as well as tall tables with chairs, which made it a great place to spend a couple of hours in the evening playing games with our son and having a couple of drinks from the bar, which is a life-saver when you have cold wintry evenings with a five year old and going out really isn't an option (and just staying in your room would be torture). The breakfast is pretty simple fare (yogurt with toppings, cereal, cold meats and cheese, and bread). Was pleased they offered gluten free bread for myself. Coffee was disappointing and toaster didn't work well, but otherwise it's a very adequate start to the day. Great stay overall and excellent location!

Grace, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good hotel

The hotel is 5 mins from the cathedral and right on the high street, so getting to all the nearby attractions are easy. Hotel is clean and comfortable. Staffs are friendly and helpful. I used the park and ride for 2 days costing less than half of 24 hours parking.

10/10 Exceptional

Cosy room in old building. In the listing it did say the room was small. Be aware that the stairs are steep and some quirks in the room lighting and shower controls. Very pleasant staff and good continental style breakfast. We had a pleasant stay and it was good value for money

Absolutely great experience while im staying, good location(middle of city centre), quality of service nice and quick and you will satisfy with breakfast in here
JEHUN, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

I was traveling from the US with my wife, daughter (13 yrs old) and my nephew (16 yrs old). The hotel is very quaint and my kids loved the characters and tradition. It does not have many amenities but in Canterbury city center it is very convenient. The parking was a little tricky to find at night especially from someone from the US. The roads were small and signs were lacking. The biggest complaint was the heater in our room was not working and it was winter. But because of its charm and location, I still give it a 4 stars.

This hotel was a heaven send. It was the nicest hotel on our entire trip. Clean. Neat. Scenic. In a great location. If i am ever in Canterbury again, i will stay here.
