Comfortable bed, spotlessly clean room with a view onto the green and the main road. I thought it would be noisy but I slept really well. The staff were polite and very welcoming. As well as the Carvery,there was a wide choice of food on the menu and the restaurant was well set out despite the new restrictions. I was fortunate to have stayed at the hotel during the 'Eat Out To Help Out' scheme so I saved money too. Well stocked bar with a safe ordering and collection system in place. The gardens add a touch of class to this hotel. Small, but nice enough to sit for a quiet drink or to read a book or newspaper.
Only 1 small critcism. In these times of enhanced cleaning, greater care must be talen to ensure staff are doing things correctly. Twice during my stay I watched the same person sanitise the area thoroughly. However, they cleaned the chairs first then used the same cloth for the table. As an NHS Worker, I know this is not good cleaning practice.
Apart from that, I would gladly recommend this hotel and would definitely stay here again.
Granted, it's not the most modern of hotels in Canterbury, but my mother has been to Canterbury a few times before and stayed at a different hotel, a more expensive hotel, yet she much preferred The Victoria Hotel. We booked directly with the hotel, via the phone and requested one of the rooms we'd seen online. We got a great deal and got the exact room we wanted.
From start to finish, every single member of staff we met had a big smile on their face and couldn't have been more helpful. Especially Carly, who by the end of our stay, felt like our friend. Our room was great, all the food we ate was fantastic and the many alcoholic drinks I drank were brilliant. And all so affordable! Breakfast, which was included in our booking was excellent. So tasty and so much to choose from.
Covid wise, they did everything they could so you felt as 'normal' and at ease as possible. Because of said global pandemic, the staff are having to work a lot more/harder, ie. no breakfast buffet, them having to get everything for you, but this wasn't an issue or a problem for any of them. Each and every member of staff was more than happy to help.
The hotel is situated a very short walk from the city centre - the walk itself is a very nice little stroll and only takes around 10 minutes. Again, at the other hotel my mum has stayed at in the past in Canterbury, because of it's location (city centre) there was a lot of noise. You don't get that at The Victoria Hotel.
All in all our stay and experience at The Victoria Hotel was 10/10 and we're already planning another trip to Canterbury, in which we'll 100% be stayed here again.
The Liver and bacon was the best I have ever tasted! The carvery was lovely, good portion sizes. Due to Covid-19 the staff had to bring the breakfast to the table instead of self service. When the second lockdown happened they continued to serve dinner, it just had to be eaten in the room instead of in the restaurant.
There is a lovely conservative area in the bar area where the sun shines in and you can watch the world go by.
As a single person staying in the hotel the staff made me feel really welcome, like I was part of the family.
As I live locally I have have never stayed before but would now highly recommend this as a brilliant hotel. I have visited the carvery on many occasions, it is always perfect.
Staff were lovely throughout our stay and can’t recommend this hotel highly enough. Delightful stay!!!
The dining room décor is rustic with wooden beams and plank panelling, stained glass dividers and hanging ‘oil’ (electric) lamps, giving a lovely cosy ambience.
However the best thing of all about this hotel were the staff who were incredibly friendly and helpful and made us feel so welcome and at home. Special thanks to Angela, and also to Rosario (who sadly was on holiday while we were there) but I had found her delightful to deal with when booking and would have liked to say hello in person.
The only downside was that we got a bit lost when arriving because the Satnav assumed the postcode was located halfway down the London Road, whereas the hotel is actually accessed directly from the roundabout. I recommend you check its position on Street view before coming to the hotel.
Other pluses were a large car park and a very pleasant walk into town ( 15 minutes) along a tree lined road then through delightful gardens. The price was extremely reasonable and brilliant value for money.
We thoroughly recommend this hotel if you are planning a visit to Canterbury, We are planning to come back with a group of friends next summer.
The rooms were fairly clean and decent..although.. staff attitude was quite rude when asked by other members to clean up rooms infront of visitors and responded quite arrogantly.
I wouldn't recommend this hotel to anyone..honest review guys
