The comfortable Number 8 Hotel Canterbury offers air-conditioned rooms only a 7-minute walk from the historic gothic-style Canterbury Cathedral. This hotel also provides guests with a luggage locker.

Location

The Marlowe Theatre lies a mere 0.6 km away, and the Beaney House of Art and Knowledge is a stone's throw from the hotel. The Number 8 is 400 metres from Whitefriars bus stop and within 5 minutes' walk of The Buttermarket.

This accommodation is not far from the ancient St Martin's Church.

The hotel is directly connected with Canterbury West train station, which is 850 metres away.

Rooms

The rooms comprise a storage space and a living room complete with air conditioning and a washing machine, as well as free wireless internet and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels. Appointed with a parquet floor, the rooms also come with tea and coffee making facilities. A walk-in shower and a separate toilet, along with a hairdryer and bath sheets, are provided.

Eat & Drink

The Ambrette Canterbury is located next to Number 8 Hotel and serves fusion dishes, about 5 minutes' walk away.

“This place strikes me as exceptionally well-managed, judging by the consistently positive feedback about communication. I think its location provides an ideal balance: close to both parking and the city center, which really matters in Canterbury. Also, the rooms seem particularly comfortable, especially with air conditioning, which is a real plus.”
