“The Pilgrims Hotel, directly opposite the Marlowe Theatre, has a location that can't be beat for exploring Canterbury. It's a family-run place, offering a personal touch alongside a continental breakfast. I think the historic building adds to the charm, though light sleepers might want to request a room away from the high street.”

the location was great, right on the main street, but surprisingly quiet. a good continental breakfast was available each morning. the staff looked after my luggage for several hours after i had checked out. this was really helpful.
Location
9/10
the hotel's location is excellent as it is right in the heart of the city. i stepped right out into a quiet space near a churchyard and the theatre, yet i was also just a short walk from the main street.
Rooms

My room was generally clean and tidy. It was certainly ideal for my business trip. the bedroom was spacious and it featured a decent flatscreen tv, which i enjoyed. the room was well-kept.
