Room was nice but quite tired, lovely bed and sofa, but floors were old, bathroom quite shabby witb lots of broken tiles and dated design. The shower gel and conditioner dispensers didnt work/ were empty but the shampoo worked. 2 light switches didnt work. The £2.50 water cartons were a con and with such a small sign it was easy to miss. The breakfast system is strange why not just do a continental buffet with hot food? Even if its hot to order it was nothing special so why pretend to be.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The staff were friendly and efficient and the location of the hotel was excellent for walking around Canterbury. However, our room (215) looked out onto what looked like a junkyard next to a pub and we could hear a lot of noise from people standing outside the pub until very late at night.

Beautiful old converted building with stunning Tudor details inside. Quiet rooms, despite being right in the busy shopping area. Welcoming and friendly staff, and a modern and well presented room. Breakfast was lovely; good selection of food to choose from.

Abode Canterbury was in very central position to everything we needed Nice warm comfortable room but felt overheated during night as no window to open, tried aircon but that wasnt working well ! I’m not sure if our room had dogs but my husband woke up with 3 bites and his legs and I itched all round my ankles throughout the night ? Our room was 221 …. Parking for the two nights was £50 !! Which is so expensive and the lady at reception I felt was rude as I asked what bars and restaurants were near and she said there are spoons either end of the high street !! I don’t mind a Wetherspoons but how rude to think that is the only place I would like !! I do like an ivy restuarant also which was located nearby ! So maybe someone with a bit more

We stayed in Canterbury for a little over a week, and ABode was the perfect place to stay. The staff were all gracious and helpful; the room was exactly what we needed; we were close to the cathedral as well as the shops and restaurants. The Christmas dinner was delicious, and there was so much of it! We also loved the breakfasts every morning. Highly recommend.

Not a brilliant stay all round. The room was cold and the heated towel rail was off, so the bathroom was cold too. There is no hot water to have a shower. At breakfast, we asked for a second coffee but none appeared. In actuality, I had asked for breakfast in our room on account of it being our wedding anniversary, but there was no acknowledgement of that at all.
