8/10 Good

Very convenient and good value for money
John, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The location is in the no-cars zone, plan ahead carefully if you drive. The building is very old, as is to be expected for the area, but well maintained. Easy walking to all attractions and lots of dining options.
Mihail, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Friendly helpful staff, GREAT home baked pastries for breakfast and very convenient. Nice to stay in a hotel with a history. The sloping floors in the bedroom is a bit disconcerting
Meredith, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

Good location, quiet
Jason, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Very overpriced for a pokey & worn room & very cramped overall-could barely get in the bathroom. Staff friendly but under-resourced - ie at times no one on reception,breakfast room or at the bar. Breakfast perfunctory offering & no service.
martin, 1-night trip

8/10 Good

Charming old inn in a convenient spot, close to history and pubs.
Carol, 3-night trip

6/10 Okay

Funny smell in the bathroom. Annoying that breakfast was only continental, as it wasn’t obvious when I booked. If I’d known I’d have gone elsewhere for breakfast.
Peter, 1-night trip

4/10 Poor

Whilst location was good, very difficult to get heavy luggage from car to hotel. Bollards blocking every street nearby. No instructions from hotel to assist. Staff member unhelpful

Loved Canterbury & the Pilgrim Hotel

The Pilgrim Hotel was an old, charming inn right near the River Stour, the Cathedral and the main walking district in Canterbury. We really enjoyed our stay there and the staff, Simona in particular, were wonderful!
