Top Howletts Zoo Hotel Reviews

Canterbury Hotel

8/10 Good

"Close to town centre old property with parking"

The Evenhill

10/10 Excellent

"Decent room for the price, with a good choice of meals at the pub. The breakfast was also excellent too."

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"So friendly and great position"

Corner House

10/10 Excellent

"Very spacious room and ensuite bathroom, with AC. Lovely fresh breakfast delivered to our room each morning. Parking available nearby at very reasonable rate. Fantastic location, directly opposite city walks and on the doorstep of Canterbury city centre. Staff very friendly and welcoming. Library of books available to borrow. Lovely courtyard garden. Restaurant at venue seems very popular."

The Falstaff Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"We had a 'cozy' room, meaning tiny, but it was nicely furnished with a TV and nice bathroom with a strong shower. The receptionist staff was friendly and helpful, pointing out the happy hour at the bar. 2 for 1 deal plus a cheese plate. The hotel is centrally located with parking behind ( parking in Canterbury is expensive). Very close to the town center and restaurants. Decent breakfast choices. The 14th century building successfully marries old and modern."

Greyfriars Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"Central location, perfect for exploring the city on foot, and easy access from the train station Room was clean with hot shower, towels and toiletries, and kettle with tea/coffee: all we needed for an overnight stay after a wedding reception. Sanjeewa made us very welcome and helpfully let us store luggage after check-out. A varied continental breakfast was a great start to the day. Thank you Sanjeewa"

The Maidens Chambers

10/10 Excellent

"Clean comfortable room, ideal for cross channel stop over."

Canterbury Cathedral Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"I can not recommend this spot enough- first of all, every staff member is so warm and congenial. The room is beautiful, and the complimentary breakfast is table service (mind blowing to my American standards!). Being right in the Cathedral grounds puts you in the midst of everything but yet in a nice quiet oasis. Would come back just to stay here again."

The Bat and Ball

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely hotel and great staff! My partner left some clothes behind and they sent them by mail, so pleased. We are definitely coming back"
