Top Birchington Hotel Reviews

ABode Canterbury

ABode Canterbury

8/10 Good
"We like the convenience of the hotel and the beds and rooms are nicely clean and the cleaning staff very friendly and helpful. However the reception staff are not that friendly and will ignore you unless you speak directly to them. I am unused to that in a hotel reception. It would be good if they were more welcoming and proactively pleasant. And although the breakfast is included it is just cereal and breads. The full breakfast is a bit of a disappointment and I recommend going elsewhere."

"Lovely place to stay. The room was spacious, clean and well equipped with amenities. This was a key box venue, (so no reception or check-in) so I never actually met the hosts or staff, so can't really comment on the service. However everything seemed well maintained and all information provided in the room. The only downside is the noise factor from other guests, which is not really the hosts fault. My room (The Becket) was downstairs right next to the front door of the property, which meant every time a quest arrived and punched in the code to their key box to get their keys, it felt like someone was knocking on my wall. When the guests entered, the front door slammed shut and this shook the wall and windows in my room. This can happen at any time during the night, so not great if you are a light sleeper, which I am not and it still woke me up. It is street parking and the location is lovely, just a short walk to the seafront with shops, cafes, pubs and restaurants nearby. I would recommend this place, just try and avoid the downstairs rooms if noise bothers you."

"Best hotel we have stayed in when visiting family in Cliftonville over the past 2.5 years. If we were being picky then asked for decaf tea but actually given green tea, so had to be thrown away and no cranberry juice at the bar. Overall, it was an excellent hotel and definitely where we will be staying when we visit again. Staff were very helpful and a credit to the hotel."
