Budget, family-friendly stay in heart of Canterb'y
The Pilgrim's Hotel was a great value for the money. Our room was cozy and comfortable with plenty of space for our family of three. The lounge/common area has big couches as well as tall tables with chairs, which made it a great place to spend a couple of hours in the evening playing games with our son and having a couple of drinks from the bar, which is a life-saver when you have cold wintry evenings with a five year old and going out really isn't an option (and just staying in your room would be torture). The breakfast is pretty simple fare (yogurt with toppings, cereal, cold meats and cheese, and bread). Was pleased they offered gluten free bread for myself. Coffee was disappointing and toaster didn't work well, but otherwise it's a very adequate start to the day. Great stay overall and excellent location!

I was traveling from the US with my wife, daughter (13 yrs old) and my nephew (16 yrs old). The hotel is very quaint and my kids loved the characters and tradition. It does not have many amenities but in Canterbury city center it is very convenient. The parking was a little tricky to find at night especially from someone from the US. The roads were small and signs were lacking. The biggest complaint was the heater in our room was not working and it was winter. But because of its charm and location, I still give it a 4 stars.

Room had a rattling, noisy window which unfortunately kept us awake with the storm weather.

Had a very pleasant stay. You need to understand and appreciate the 'olde worlde' character of the hotel, which i did. I would have liked better toiletries in the bathroom...i didn't bring my own, as it stated they were supplied. There were two on the wall soap dispensers, one for the sink and one for the shower. The breakfast was lovely with a lot of choice. No full english breakfast, but the continental was delish. The location was spot on. Although its a trek(for me with dodgy back and hips) to and from the car park, the beautiful surroundings made up for it. Enjoyed our stay overall.

Cosy room in old building. In the listing it did say the room was small. Be aware that the stairs are steep and some quirks in the room lighting and shower controls. Very pleasant staff and good continental style breakfast. We had a pleasant stay and it was good value for money

Very good hotel
The hotel is 5 mins from the cathedral and right on the high street, so getting to all the nearby attractions are easy. Hotel is clean and comfortable. Staffs are friendly and helpful. I used the park and ride for 2 days costing less than half of 24 hours parking.

This is a relatively old style hotel, but staff were absolutely fantastic, helping me sort out phone issues etc. The breakfast was a good continental breakfast, and I was not expecting to have breakfast. The building is really well located in a buzzing part of town, but probably is in need of a bit of a refurb. I was a bit pissed to care!!

Alright-ish, but i won't use this hotel again
Tiny single room, with no chair, but good ensuite with bath and shower. Very noisy, with people noisily passing by right outside the room, with a door banging constantly, until late at night. Paper thin walls - man in next room was snoring all night very audibly. Too expensive for such a small room. Tables in breakfast room very obviously hadn't been wiped properly on both my mornoings - sticky ring marks everywhere.

Non opening window made for a very poor sleep
The room was fine - but the window only opened 2 inches and the room was really hot. Made for a very uncomfortable nights sleep as it was so hot.
