Great city centre location. Lovely rooms, service and food (breakfast). The only drawback to the location being that it was very noisy at night - parties 2 doors down until 3am. But, no fault of the hotel. However, I would recommend the hotel otherwise.

Location is in the heart of Canterbury so great location, walking distance for all attractions. Parking is hard and difficult we were lucky to get parking on site which is limited, but if that was not the case the parking is a good walk away. Which can be horrible if raining. It was very noisy in the hotel while we stayed sounded like the rooms above were moving all the furniture around. Because the flooring was polished wood no rugs or any other covering was noisy. We only stayed one night and did not have breakfast.

Good position, nice hotel

Perfect position, nice and tidy. Personally i wouldn't bother with the breakfast. No buffet, all made to order and quite slow service (maybe just unlucky). So close to many other dining options

Abode is in the middle of the high street, yet no noise was heard in my room. Canterbury is easily explored on foot. There is parking, but I came by train, and the west station is a 10 minute walk.
