Top Canterbury Hotel Reviews

Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean, and had been recently updated. The staff were really welcoming and friendly, and it was great to be able to take our dog with us too. A bed and water bowl was provided by the hotel for him. The only constructive criticism would be that the room would benefit from a light above the mirror. We wouldn't hesitate to stay again or recommend this hotel."
