Our family have stayed at The Victoria Hotel several times over the last three years, and it never fails to impress. What keeps me coming back is the incredible staff—they are consistently professional, welcoming, and go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The hotel oozes authentic English character and coziness. Whether it’s the comfortable rooms or the excellent food, everything feels curated with care. If you want a true Canterbury experience with heart, this is the place.

The noisiest hotel I have stayed in. Heard people coughing, their tv and others using their bathroom sink. The age of the building showed. Carvery ok but Beef too tough to eat. Breakfast was fine and good value. Staff fabulous.

The room was spotless. Clean tidy and cosy. When we booked in they gave us an opportunity to have a ground floor room which was especially helpful. Food excellent and prompt. Bar area comfy with prices on par with pub. Would recommend a stay here if coming to Canterbury. Staff extremely helpful, very big car park.
