Good size room and clean. Nice complementary bathroom products. Only thing I would say that lets the room/bathroom down is the poor lighting for applying makeup. Friendly helpful staff and breakfasts was very nice. Great location for theatre and some lovely restaurants. Would definitely stay again.

All the staff were friendly, the bedroom was pretty spacious and clean. Only area that let the hotel down a little was the bathroom. It was clean but the plumbing for the hand basin was noisy and the shower, over the bath, was clearly quite old and not very efficient, taking a long time to warm up and then only to a fairly tepid temperature. We never ate there so can't comment on the quality of the food but there was a nice bar. It is right on the middle of the High Street but we didn't notice any noise and all the main shops, restaurants, bars and sites are probably within a 10 minute walk

It's an OK solution if you want to be central. It does require some updating ( I get it's an old building, but it truly needs a revamp ) and wasn't spotlessly clean. Breakfast was disappointing. However, the location make it up for all those negative bits.

The lack of sound proofing in the rooms is still there - similar to our last stay here, sleep was interrupted. Would not recommend for a good nights sleep

Unfortunately, not a great experience and be sure to ignore that you can see the Cathedral lit up at night. That’s from ONE ROOM (most expensive room) in the hotel.

OK, so there were a few problems with this place that kinda made it not worth the premium. Pro's - The nicest and most helpful staff you could wish for. - Breakfast was freshly made, rather than a buffet. Great! - Location is superb. You're right in the heart of Canterbury. - Beds were comfortable, although duvet was super thick, so it did get pretty hot! - Solid WiFI - Good Safe there for your expensive belongings. Cons: - Heating stopped working, so we couldn't take a shower. They said they'd reset it. But 45 minutes later and it was still tepid for us. Ended up having to wait till the evening. - Nobody came to clean the room until 4pm, by which time we were already back! They'd said "Sorry, we're running late". But honestly... Really? - The view was of the bins outside. I am not sure there's much they could do, but not really a pleasent thing to look out to. - Not their fault, but there was some sort of music gig going on outside. Due to the lack of soundproofing on the windows, it didn't stop until gone 10pm. Not "too" bad, but boy that spoiled our first night! All that said, I think we still had a nice time there. Just a bit annoyed with the general logistics of the place. -

The aBode hotel is first-class. We didn't eat in the restaurant or hang out in the bar, but they both looked lovely. We managed to find affordable parking by Googling 'free parking', which led us to "Park and Ride", a parking lot outside of town which costs a mere $4.00 a day (as opposed to the $40-50 a day option nearest the hotel). We drove to this lot, parked our car and a bus was waiting to take us back to central Canterbury, an easy walk to our hotel. Our room was lovely - two single beds in a room well appointed and immaculate. I can't believe that I could well afford such a hotel. The room rate was cheaper than many hotels that were far out of town. The cathedral is just down the street from this hotel and everything else in Canterbury an easy walk. I am grateful to have booked a room in aBode.
