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.

The Hotel upgraded us to include breakfast which was nice, the hotels position couldn't be more central so everything was manageable on foot. All the staff were great nothing a problem which made the stay so enjoyable, the hotel restuarant bar etc lovelly, room comfortable and clean but due to its age decoration needed some attention.would definitely return.

The hotel itself is in a fantastic location. The breakfast is also very good. Unfortunately the bar was closed due to leaks coming through the ceiling which meant we was unable to have a drink in the hotel bar. The reason for my average review is that the room we booked wasn’t the room we were allocated. We questioned this with the receptionist, he originally seemed very confused with our room and wasn’t sure what to say. He then said he thinks it may be the room we booked but it wasn’t. He said if we wished to change rooms he could look into this later for us, however we had prior arrangements, and didn’t have time to be waiting around without a room. If this problem could be avoided going forward I would recommend staying at this hotel.

This is an ideal spot to stay in Canterbury. Great vibe and close to everything (shopping, cathedral, Stour river and an absolute ton of restaurants and coffee shops, etc.). Parking was a little tricky but I just took my luggage to the side entrance of the hotel and then parked my car and forgot about it for 3 days. This hotel/city was the highlight of my trip because I felt like I was getting to know the area and loved it.
