Pilgrims Hotel

We were attending our daughters graduation so ideal location just 5 minutes walk to cathedral, on the main shopping street and opposite the theatre. We parked in St Radiguns car park, paid £16 to the hotel for 24 hours. Provided a room to leave our luggage in as we arrived before check in time. Huge bedrooms, tea/coffee facilities and a big fan in the wardrobe which was definitely needed.

Comfortable bed, nice linen, all very clean, although carpet a little tired. Ability to open a window for fresh air. Coffee, tea in room. Nice continental breakfast with plenty of healthy choices, nuts. seeds, dried fruit plus alternative milks - oat, soya, coconut - wasn't expecting that! Friendly staff.

Old and small room with old furniture but very clean. The bathroom was nice and had everything needed. The breakfast was good, didn't have lots of options but there was bread, ham, cheese, croissants, different types of milk, coffee etc etc. The staff was very friendly. They let me leave my bag there before the check in time as well as after checking out! Great location! right in the centre of Canterbury. I ealked everywhere from here and never needed to take any means of transport.

It's a quirky place, a mix of old and new fixtures and fittings, which I really liked. Modern downstairs and older upstairs. Great location. Easy walking distance from the train station and all amenities, such as restaurants, river, parks, museums etc. The staff were friendly, and helpful but not always easy to find. Perhaps they were short staffed when we were there. The room was a good size. We had a family room, where I had the double bed and my friend and her daughter had the adjoining room with two single beds. I had to walk through it to use the bathroom, and the door hinges could've done with a little oil. My bed was comfy, as were theirs, and although the room felt a little chilly with I think single glazing, the duvets were warm enough, without needing an extra blanket. It was quiet. We weren't disturbed by other guests. The food at breakfast was good and enough but not very exciting. There were some games downstairs in a lounge area, which was nice to sit in with kids.

The hotel was conveniently right in the centre of the City in the old pedestrian quarter, so there was no buzz of traffic, and plenty of places to eat close by. The bedroom was very clean and warm (it was very cold outside) and the bed was very comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful. It was explained in advance that there was no hot breakfast, but the spread of cold offerings was just right for us.
