Best breakfast we had in the UK - great selection, try the croissants and yogurts. It gets busy but staff are all on it and friendly. Rooms have been updated, are originally from a time where things were still built sturdy and larger....very welcomed in the UK where rooms tend to be very small. I'll take larger over more "modern" any day! Clear, great cider selection and very nice outdoor back patio-garden area. Walking distance to Canterbury centre. Large, easy parking lot.

Very little to fault, one or two bits could do with a little TLC, but check in was seamless and Staff very helpful. Room was very hot when we arrived, but a fan was ready in our room. Breakfast was served hot and served fresh in good time, I was surprised by the number of Staff for a hotel of this size. Being able to park at the hotel and walk into Town was a great bonus. Will definitely return if in the area.

Lovely hotel, staff friendly, breakfast good. Good location, short walk into the town centre. Parking, always a bonus

The food at the hotel was very good and excellent value. The bar was a bit dingy and old fashioned. The weather was hot but the hotel provided good fans. There was plenty of hot water and a very comfortable bed. Overall it was good value and we enjoyed our stay.

Clean single room at front of building some traffic noise,stay was during heatwave room was hot although a fan was provided. Should have requested a ground floor room as have some mobility issues staff were helpful and carried my case for me to room. Breakfast excellent, good choice and attentive staff as was the case when taking other meals which were also excellent Bar/lounge area comfortable again attentive staff, garden quiet and relaxing to sit in well cared for. Did not have a car but plenty of parking available

Brilliant location staff superb food fantastic couldn’t ask for anything else staff really couldn’t have been any more helpful

Great location very close to the town centre, we had large bright room, friendly staff and excellent breakfast

Excellent location; just a short 10-minute walk from Canterbury's gardens, shops and historic buildings, and the lady at reception kindly gave us directions and a map of Canterbury, which came in very handy. All of the staff were super-friendly and helpful. Food in the restaurant (including breakfast) was excellent, and very reasonably priced. Bring a healthy appetite with you, you'll need it! A couple of slight idiosyncrasies with the bathroom, but nothing worthy of knocking a star off the review. We've already recommended the Victoria to others, and we'll definitely be back.

My partner have stayed at The Victoria a few times and will keep returning when life takes us to canterbury. Our most recent stay was due to a family emergency which became more complicated and protracted than expected. Staff at The Victoria couldn't have been more accomodating to our constant requests to extend our stay and were kind enough to jiggle thier bookings to allow us to keep the same room throughout to reduce our stress. This and their kind words made all the difference in a difficult time. Their hospitality is consistently excellent and we love how personable the service is compared to other hotels nearby which can feel a bit corporate and stiff. Breakfast selection and quality is excellent. Food offered in the restaurant for lunch/dinner is tasty, good quality, large portions and excellent value for money. Service is always swift and super friendly with special requests treated as no problem. Plenty of parking space which is free and only a short stroll into the town centre. Highly recommend this hotel!

A lovely stay, felt safe as a single traveller

On first arrival quite easy to miss car park entrance off the roundabout, large car park, lovely breakfast, good evening menu.

Good location, nice area.good size car park. Staff were very helpful, Breakfast good choice for everyone. Nice clean room,lovely comfy bed. Only suggestion would be nice to have air-conditioning in room.just very hot in bedroom..

I was very impressed with our family room, we was given a two bedroom suite, with a large bathroom and living area.

Arrived earlier than expected bur no problems checking in. Our room was extremely large and comfortable with Tea and coffee facilities. Car parking was free which was Ideal you can leave your car and take the a short walk to the Westgate of Canterbury and enter the centre of Canterbury and Canterbury Cathedral. At the Westgate you can take a Punt trip along the river, which we did and found it serene and saw lots of wildlife including Swan's Ducks and Ducklings. On our return to the Hotel we took a walk from the Westgate alongside the river though Westgate park . We ate in the hotel restaurant the Menu was extensive and there was the option of a carvery. Very good friendly service.

We were made to feel welcome by everyone working there. I would . recommend to anyone. Food was excellent,there is a really good choice.t

Cooked breakfast (too long under heat lamp ) dried out. Continental breakfast, basic but sufficient.

Had a great stay. The staff were. EXTREMELY helpful and attentive to supporting our needs.

Easy to walk to and from city centre. Restaurant hours were very convenient. Breakfast was very good.

Fifth time of staying . Recommend, Great food. Good room. Quiet nights sleep.

Comfortable hotel with great carvery.
