I liked the hotel. It opens onto the main street in Canterbury so is an easy walk to shops and restaurants. Lovely size room and bathroom and very quiet, apart from a few other guests, especially the one who snored.On the day I arrived it was chucking it down with rain so it would have been nice to get into the hotel from the car park more quickly than walking all round the outside. Lots of staff around who are very attentive.

We were allocated a room near to the kitchen and had noise of the fans, asked to be moved to a quiet room, which did happen but then we were at the top of the hotel and although it was a little quieter we hadthe lift next to us and it was a shower over the bath which as we are in our 80s we found very very difficult.

Weekend stay
The Stay was really good. When we arrived on the check in day as we arrived late we we’re allowed to park our car in the staff car park overnight only downside about hotel is that the car park is very small. There is another car park not associated with the hotel about 6-7 minute walk away.

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.

We'd had a long, difficult day, and the comfort in the room provided the opportunity to rest that we so sorely needed.

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.
