Top Canterbury Hotel Reviews

ABode Canterbury

ABode Canterbury

8/10 Good
"We like the convenience of the hotel and the beds and rooms are nicely clean and the cleaning staff very friendly and helpful. However the reception staff are not that friendly and will ignore you unless you speak directly to them. I am unused to that in a hotel reception. It would be good if they were more welcoming and proactively pleasant. And although the breakfast is included it is just cereal and breads. The full breakfast is a bit of a disappointment and I recommend going elsewhere."

"A great location in Canterbury. Right next to the cathedral. Clean, well organised room. Full room service each day. Lovely breakfast. Cereal, yoghurt, fresh fruit, croissants and toast and jam. Bottled water available for guests to take for day trips etc. Great for the hot weather. Staff were very helpful, polite and professional. Highly recommend"

10/10 Excellent
"A very old building but clean and the staff were very helpful. I had a fall while staying (not in the hotel) and Sandra on reception was very concerned and assisted with ice for my bruises and also fetched my bags down on our departure date. Would go there again but request a slightly bigger room. Ours was a little small for two adults trying to get ready to go out!"

"Firstly, every member of staff we came across, from reception, security, cleaner or catering were extremely welcoming and helpful. The room was as you would expect, and clean and comfortable, perfect for a short stay. We would absolutely return and wholeheartedly recommend Keynes college as a base."
