Absolutely gorgeous hotel and the perfect location for exploring Canterbury! ❤️ The Abode is literally in the heart of the city, with everything right on your doorstep and within easy walking distance. The hotel itself was beautiful, and the staff were incredibly polite, accommodating and helpful throughout our stay. Nothing was too much trouble, and we felt really welcomed. Had a lovely stay and would definitely recommend The Abode to anyone visiting Canterbury! ✨

I grew up in Canterbury and while I live in New York, I visit many times a year to see friends and family and have stayed at many different hotels but after staying here a few years ago, I look nowhere else. It’s central location is second to none, the ornate and wonderfully maintained interior character of the lobby, stairways, bar, restaurant, hallways and of course the rooms is meticulous. From the front desk to the house keeping staff, everyone is extremely helpful, courteous and polite with a professionalism they clearly take pride in upholding. The rooms are always very clean, wonderfully decorated, very comfortable and provide all the amenities you could want when traveling. I have stayed here through freezing cold winters and blisteringly hot summers yet the rooms never fail to efficiently maintain an exceptionally comfortable temperature. I cannot recommend staying here highly enough, and very much look forward to my next visit in a few weeks!

I had a pleasant stay overall. The room was lovely and spacious, with a comfortable lounge area to relax in, the staff were polite, and the hotel is in a very nice location. One thing that wasn’t clear when I booked was that the terrace shown in the photos, with its beautiful cathedral view, belongs to just one room. There is no hotel roof terrace available to guests. My shower also didn’t drain properly. Breakfast was mixed: the croissant was very nice, but the porridge with chocolate and raspberries was unexpectedly cooked with the chocolate mixed into it, making it dark brown and so sweet that I couldn’t manage more than one spoonful. Apart from these points, it’s a nice hotel and I enjoyed my stay.
