ABode Canterbury

ABode Canterbury

8/10 Good
"Nice room near the lift as requested. Enjoyed a couple of drinks in the cosy bar in the evening. Appreciated the coffee bags in the room. The location is fantastic for exploring the city. Breakfast was very reasonably priced but wouldn’t bother again. The sausage and bacon were nice quality but spoiled by overcooking. The fruit salad was just a mix of melon and pineapple. Our bags were looked after without fuss, while we wandered around the next day. Would definitely recommend and stay again."
