Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Room comfort
So disappointing
The most uncomfortable bed we’ve ever slept in. So soft we rolled into the middle. Pillows provide no support. Nice hotel overall very old building with a contemporary update though the rooms are very basic. Could hear very clearly the people talking (and snoring) in the next room. Parking is minimal very few spaces and unable to reserve in advance. Nice bar area and very well situated for all that Canterbury hasti offer.

Great location and spotless
Fantastic location and spotless. Everything is on the doorstep and parking too. During these strange times you felt safe here,as care had been taken to keep everything clean and as safe as can be. We had room 202, which was lovely but it was next to the lift, the head board was on the lift wall , which meant you were waken early as it was constantly in use from around 6am. Also it had a disabled friendly bathroom, which was fine but at 6 foot 4 this was not ideal, as you could either limbo or sit on the stool provided. When we complained the staff were friendly and helpful. I’m sure if we had said something earlier they would have moved our room. We would return here, but request a room away from the lift.

Canterbury Abode def worth a visit
Quick and friendly check in, information letter with room cards explaining new procedures due to Covid Which was very handy. Our room was comfortable, especially the bed, good pillows. The aBode champagne bar had a lovely atmosphere, with a real fire burning, which was very welcoming as a cold and rainy day. Lovely old building with plenty of character, with modern aspects. The staff sanitised tables as customers left almost immediately, very good cleanliness throughout . All staff that we met were very polite ,helpful and professional, would definitely return.
