    The charming old-world décor with period features truly enchanted me, making the experience feel like a step back in time. The accessibility made it easy for me to get around, adding to my enjoyment!

    Steeper stairs may be challenging for some seniors.

    limited breakfast options

    The hotel boasts an excellent central location near the Cathedral, ideal for exploring Canterbury. The room was spacious, clean, and well-equipped, with a newly renovated bathroom. The staff were friendly and ready to assist, which contributed to a pleasant overall experience.

    The noise from the street during the night was disruptive.

    The location was perfect for catching a show just across from the Marlow Theatre. The character of the place added to the charm of the stay, which was much appreciated after a long day of exploring. it was a bit noisy at times, especially late at night, which made it hard to get a good night's sleep.

    cozy room
    fluffy towels
    inconsistent water temperature

    Had a lovely time here, especially enjoying the cozy room and the fluffy towels. Relaxation options like the TV lounge and game room made it even better. The water temperature in the shower wasn’t always consistent, but it didn’t dampen my overall experience. 😊

    breakfast issues

    we had a great time at pilgrims hotel. the location was super convenient, just steps away from the cathedral and shops! the room was fairly large and comfy, especially the bed with a good mattress. staff were friendly and always ready to help. we also enjoyed the relaxed vibe of the bar, really nice to unwind after a day of exploring.

    only downside was the breakfast wasn’t great, bacon was really hard to eat, and no butter was a bummer. also, the noise from the street at night was a bit annoying.

    perfect location
    easy access
    narrow bed

    Had a great trip with friends! We loved exploring the nearby Cathedral and catching a show at The Marlowe Theatre. The hotel was in a perfect spot for enjoying local bars and restaurants. Staff was helpful, and the location made everything super accessible. Don’t miss the scenic river boat tours while you’re there!

    The single bed was the narrowest I've ever encountered. A bit cramped, especially if you move around in your sleep. The breakfast options could also be better. they were quite limited with just some cold items.

    great location but limited amenities

    The room featured a lovely four-poster bed that added a touch of luxury to our stay. The efficient breakfast staff ensured we had a delightful fresh continental meal with a wide variety.

    The amenities in the hotel felt limited.

    A Comfortable Stay with Room for Improvement

    Enjoyed a restful 3-night stay in a double room with a private bathroom. The location near the theatre offered convenience. Breakfast options could be enhanced, but the adjustable bathroom mirror was a thoughtful touch. Pro tip, inquire about extra pillows if needed for a better night's sleep.
