The room that we were given overlooked the High Street and the hotel is perfectly located for sight-seeing. It was also a little strange, with glass walls in the bathroom which gave you little privacy. However, all in all it was well appointed and comfotable. However, we were kept awake until about 3:30am by the shouting, screaming and swearing from... More

Having stayed at another Abode Group hotel recently, the Slaughter Country Inn, which was absolutely lovely, decided to try another Abode hotel, the Abode Canterbury. Sorely disappointed - whilst the reception area and dining room where breakfast was served were very nice, the bedroom left a lot to be desired. We were appointed room 213 - right at the very...

The hotel is perfectly located in the city. It is clean and the staff are polite and try hard. Breakfast food quality is excellent - as you might expect from the Michael Caines restaurant.Finding the car park is challenge for those without GPS - and access is a slight downside. Recommend "non high street" room if you are to avoid... More

A very nice room, but the kitchen venting chimney operated just outside the window. Even with double glazing, there was a loud, uneven hum all night. I put the air conditioner back on because that noise was easier to sleep with. Staff were very professional and friendly, but if I stayed here again I would be careful about asking for... More

I stayed for one night on a business trip. The hotel is very centrally located on the main drag and 2 minutes away from the Cathedral Finding the hotel by car is a bit tricky as the streets are very narrow. There's limited parking which is a few minutes away from the hotel and costs £6 per night. The welcome... More

We stayed here for the night and went to the stunningly good Michael Caines restaurant. Service in the hotel was excellent. The room was clean and functional but perhaps just a little disappointing for the price. The bathroom needed to be cleaned a little more thoroughly but the room in general was good and I would return to stay here... More
