Breakfast was included with the room which was wonderful. It was delicious and they had gluten free toast for me, which was lovely. The staff has been especially kind and helpful, and much I needed Since my plans changed after I checked out and had to check back in, they honored the rate I had previously booked. They are also within a lovely walking distance of beautiful gardens and the river and the downtown area. Highly recommended hotel.

Our family have stayed at The Victoria Hotel several times over the last three years, and it never fails to impress. What keeps me coming back is the incredible staff—they are consistently professional, welcoming, and go above and beyond to make you feel at home. The hotel oozes authentic English character and coziness. Whether it’s the comfortable rooms or the excellent food, everything feels curated with care. If you want a true Canterbury experience with heart, this is the place.
