Location is perfection. Right in the middle of the old part of the city and a very short walk to the cathedral. The Family room in the attic was great, we opened the window and listened to the birds, there was a door between the master bedroom and the kids room which is always nice. Breakfast was lovely.

Pub staff was incredibly friendly and professional. The dinner menu was quite tasty and they were able to fit me in without a booking. Also the size of the tub in the room was delightful; I'm quite tall and I could actually fit into it which is rare in hotels.

Excellent all-round value, excellent breakfast; great location for the cathedral and shops/pubs on and around the main drag; very quiet

Breakfast and dinner was great, plenty of choices, well presented and very tasty.
Room was comfortable and clean and had all that we needed.
Nice grounds and in a quiet location, although close enough to Canterbury for a quick drive.
The staff were very friendly and extremely accommodating - nothing was an issue for them.
Would recommend this to others. If we go again, I would ask to stay in the newer part.
Did enjoy our stay there.

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.

Beautiful with loads of independent shops.
Beautiful with loads of independent shops. Really beautiful gems around the cathedral. Difficult to find decent parking in town. Public car parks not cheap and can’t vouch for their safety. Most city centre hotels don’t have their own car parks…which is a big problem.

Charming historic and very walkable.
Charming historic and very walkable. The cathedral is a must to visit. We also did a ghost walk which was hugely entertaining. The town has an eclectic mix of eateries , big name stores peppered with interesting independents.

I know Canterbury well as parents have lived in many locations surrounding the area including Reculver, Herne Bay, Seasalter, Whitstable. Not easy to get around from area to close area outside Canterbury using taxis. No taxis from various train stations to various surrounding areas. When travelling with friend in wheel chair it was a nightmare. Could not get any taxis. Luckily we were able to rely on relatively good bus services using disabled free bus passes.

The cathedral was beautiful !
The cathedral was beautiful ! The neighborhood has a lot of walkable streets wear tennis shoes though uneven pavements , very unsafe feeling environment where cycles park. There is limited parking there so you have to park blocks away and pay a premium.

We only stayed one night and saw everything we wanted to...
We only stayed one night and saw everything we wanted to around the city; had we come by car we would have gone further afield and I am sure there were buses but this was deliberately a one night city break and we covered everything by walking.
Local independent shops were good, Corkk for English wines and good coffee shop opposite Burgate Coffee Shop with fantastic cakes. The Parrot and The Dolphin served good food and drinks.
The Lodge is positioned in the grounds of the Cathedral, which is perfect for looking around the centre of Canterbury.
Plus, you have free access to the Cathedral itself, Staff are welcoming and helpful and the rooms are excellent with a view of the Cathedral from your bedroom bay window. I would reccomend not missing out on the breakfast, which is cooked to order and the serving staff look after you very well.
Overall, its a bit more pricey than the usual well known hotels, but, the overall experience is well worth the price.
This was my wife's favourite place to stay during our break. It was clean. It was also quiet, which impressed me given one evening there was live music in the pub below. By chance, they happened to serve my favourite beer from my student days, and I can assure you I did test it, although not in my student day style.
The Inn is very well placed to explore both Canterbury and the surrounding area, being in walking distance of the town centre, well placed for driving, and very close to one of the railway stations.
What a treasure! This is a brilliant small hotel, just a few minutes walk from the City centre. The room was so clean and cozy. I was staying in the annexe room, which was great as I could come and go through a separate entrance. There is a min i fridge with water and fresh milk, and breakfast is brought to the room on a tray. Breakfast, although continental was really good - fresh yogurt/granola, juice, hot toast and jam, fresh fruit and patisserie. Its really well thought out. I would definitely stay again.
Upon arrival, we were greeted by the very pleasant and friendly owner Stuart who showed us to our rooms and offered advice on nearby attractions. The breakfast was amazing one of the best I had ever had I must add as I am a bit of a foodie. Great location, roughly a 7min drive to Canterbury Town centre. My daughter enjoyed the surrounding woodland with resident wild pigs which gave the setting a back to nature ambience. Would definitely recommend and visit again if in the area.
The property is perfectly located just a short distance from Canterbury city centre, in a dead end close that is very quiet and peaceful. Unlike a previous reviewer who just looked at the road and turned around as it's a working class area, I never found it intimidating the exact opposite to be honest. The property was very clean and the beds everyone said they were very comfortable, Overall this property is a great base camp.
Lovely hotel, we had a bit of drama at the arrival however Neelum the lovely lady who was on reception was so helpful and sorted this out for us so we really appreciate that thank you she is an asset to your team!
Rooms were clean and of good size, nice bar area with good selection of drinks and cocktails there was a deal on for 2 for £16 peach punch was lush!
Good location right in the centre of Canterbury town
Hotel had a great location. I appreciated that Reception showed me a delightful way to walk into the center of Canterbury through gardens and alongside the river and it was one of the prettiest parts of the city and very restful. Also there was a pleasant garden at the back of the hotel.
Dining staff were very friendly and helpful as was Reception.
The hotel is located just of the main street in a quiet residential area with a beautiful garden at the rear where you can sit out. The rooms were clean, comfy and well stocked, ours had a mini fridge. Breakfast was full english with a buffet of cereals, pastries etc. Just a few minute walk from the centre of Canterbury so perfect.
An old style hotel but we ended up in the 'newer' accommodation at the back of the hotel. Nothing available in the original hotel. Reasonably close to the old centre of Canterbury so an easy walk into town. Staff very helpful with information on what to see and do. A very good breakfast was provided.
The hotel is wonderfully situated in the centre of Canterbury. It's a budget hotel and we did not have very high expectations. However, the staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. Overall, the place feels a little tired but, for one night, it's absolutely fine. Free.e Wifi was a bonus
The area the hotel is in is amazing. We loved that it opened into the closed off courtyard of the cathedral. It made it seem like we had the whole place to ourselves, after a certain hour. Also, the sparkling water station was above and beyond.
A well presented hotel where many of the original features have been retained.
Friendly and helpful staff.
On site parking in mature gardens.
A tasty breakfast that was cooked for me individually.
A10/15 minute walk into Canterbury 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
Nice flat in a quiet block. Excellent location within walking distance of the centre of Canterbury. Lovely comfortable beds, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable seating area. Parking is a real bonus especially in Canterbury.
Setting and sighting of hotel. Ideally located for walking in Canterbury and going further afield if you wanted to discover the local area.
Good choice of breakfast and a nice warm welcome.
