8.4/10 Very good! (1,005 reviews)
"Fantastic spot right in the center of Canterbury. That being said, not recommended for light sleepers: the streets outside are lively into the night and the delivery trucks start very early. Room was immaculate, comfy beds, and modern bathroom. Great lounge in the lobby too!"
