The room I was allocated was very dated and decor looked very tired. Room size was excellent and would stay again as it also had parking onsite - Bonus.

lovely hotel with helpful staff. A 15 minute walk to town which was great. Amazing breakfast - included everything you could think of with cooked breakfast and cold buffet. Easy parking. Although you have to ask for your room to be serviced if you needed any items like tea/coffee we just asked and it was all provided promptly. Good value. Would definitely recommend and visit again.

It’s great that you can just turn up and park immediately for free! The staff are also very friendly and welcoming. The hotel is perhaps looking a little tired, and the walk to the cathedral, at 20 minutes, is a little long. However, this is well reflected in the price which overall is very good value.

If you are thinking of coming here to rest, forget about it. The hotel is very noisy, either because of the people in the pub or the people in the rooms. The room leaves a lot to be desired. The shower is blocked. Another thing that left me speechless is that you have to ask reception if you want them to come and clean your room, when I think that generally the logical thing is for them to come and do it every day. For everything else, it was good. Well located. Food was good value for money. Very attentive and polite staff.

The Victoria Hotel, is a very friendly, comfortable hotel for a stay in Canterbury.It offers a lovely garden area , comfortable beds and great fresh breakfasts. I loved the fact it offers spacious free parking, and is only a short walk into Canterbury. It is spotlessly clean, but the decor is a little dated. I would thoroughly recommend staying there if you are visiting Canterbury.

A walk in shower would have been preferred. At my age climbing into a tub is not safe. No heat in the cold summer season. Everything else was pretty good.

A Canterbury tale
Really enjoyed the stay. Close enough to walk through the streets of Canterbury and the Cathedral. Travelling by myself I found the room was functional and comfortable. Food was great as was the service.
