Top Howletts Zoo Hotel Reviews

Hampton by Hilton Canterbury

8/10 Good

"Breakfast was great although not enough staff to manage everything during very busy periods. The two members that were there were most helpful and polite.Long blond hair that was untied was worrying as it was possible for this to touch plates and food. Also insufficient choice of food for evening.[ pitsas only ]"

The Falstaff Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay. Although the special guest happy hour seemed to be open to all of Canterbury and free cheese and biscuits contained just grapes. Disappointing but didn’t ruin the stay. Room was so hot though as no windows to open and small fan."

Canterbury Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Having parking was great. Staff was very kind and helpful. The suite was great. Lots of room."

Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel

8/10 Good

"Overall the very pleasant stay, I did find a few beer bottle caps under the bed upon arrival. But the facilities and food was excellent."

ABode Canterbury

10/10 Excellent

"I grew up in Canterbury and while I live in New York, I visit many times a year to see friends and family and have stayed at many different hotels but after staying here a few years ago, I look nowhere else. It’s central location is second to none, the ornate and wonderfully maintained interior character of the lobby, stairways, bar, restaurant, hallways and of course the rooms is meticulous. From the front desk to the house keeping staff, everyone is extremely helpful, courteous and polite with a professionalism they clearly take pride in upholding. The rooms are always very clean, wonderfully decorated, very comfortable and provide all the amenities you could want when traveling. I have stayed here through freezing cold winters and blisteringly hot summers yet the rooms never fail to efficiently maintain an exceptionally comfortable temperature. I cannot recommend staying here highly enough, and very much look forward to my next visit in a few weeks!"

Canterbury Cathedral Lodge

8/10 Good

"If you want to spend extra time on the cathedral grounds - this is where you should stay. The breakfast was outstanding. The room was a bit small - sort of like a dormitory, but it was very nicely decorated and clean. The only amenity is soap, so you will want to bring your own shampoo and conditioner and toiletries."

Corner House

8/10 Good

"Truly a unique hotel room - the exposed timbers from the 16th century were so amazing! The stairs to the attic room (where we stayed) were uneven and interesting, but not difficult to navigate as long as you are not disabled. The breakfast in the morning was fantastic and the air conditioning was very appreciated."

Cathedral Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Not only was the hotel beautiful with spectacular views, but, the staff were so welcoming, friendly and accommodating. From start to finish every member of staff was so lovely. Thank you so very much for our wonderful stay."

The Coach House Canterbury

8/10 Good

"Lovely stay in the heart of Canterbury. Some of the decor is a bit tired but it is an old building. Everything was clean, tidy and comfortable"
