Clean and comfortable hotel in great location

Easy access by car then the large free car park meant we could safely leave the car and were able to walk into the city in less than 20 minutes. Food was very good and the restaurant on site was reasonably priced. Our room was large, clean, quiet and comfortable. The staff were friendly and helpful and we would definitely recommend the Victoria Hotel as a place to stay

The restaurant was particularly good. The room was comfortable and once I turned the radiator (heating) on, as I was staying over in December, it was warm and cosy. The bathroom appeared to be newly renovated and was clean and easily accessible with lots of space. The breakfast was good.

Large room with a big double bed and a single bed. Nice and clean. Hot chocolate, tea, coffee and biscuits provided in the room. We had breakfast included and enjoyed the fry-up both mornings we stayed. Enjoyable stay overall. Only fault was the bathroom door didn't lock.

The Hotel was in a great location, with free parking. Short walk to Westgate area in Canterbury with great restaurants. Great base to see all of Kent. We spent three nights and the staff were amazing, helpful & friendly. The room was very clean and we had a good night sleep every time. The bathroom was in great condition. We even had a bath as it was so cosy. The best thing about this hotel it comes with an amazing steakhouse / carvery. We even decided to eat there every night for dinner as the food was so good and reasonably priced. The Breakfast was very good and they do perfect poached eggs. They catered and took care in allergens and recommend it for anyone who need to eat gluten free. I highly recommend this hotel.

Good value hotel

2 night break, about a 20min walk from city centre. A bit tired but clean. Staff very friendly. Evening meal good and reasonable, Carvery did not look to be that good. Excellent freshly cooked breakfast. Free car parking reason for choosing this hotel.Would definitely stay again as very reasonably priced and good value.

2 night family stay

Ideal location for us visiting family. Walking distance to town but buses and taxi also easily accessed. Hotel is very clean and comfortable. Restaurant serves a good breakfast (little on the slow side of service) but evening service no issues and good food with plenty of choice.
