This is a converted Victorian Gothic manor, which has been clumsily extended and updated. The place is a poorly signed warren, and attempts to make the new part look "authentic" are poorly executed, and choices such as having a windowless dining room simply don't work. I was in a single room which was adequate, but with poor attention to detail... More

My husband and I only were able to stay just one night this weekend - how sorry we were! We can only say this hotel was faultless - the staff really could not do enough for us. We arrived early and were looked after and welcomed so well by Ian and this trend continued for 24 hours. The young Romanian... More

I stayed in this Hotel with work colleagues for 3 days in Dec 2011 and had a relaxing stay, the room was a single however spacious and adequate for my needs. Clean room, good shower and facilities, with a well stocked breakfast and friendly and efficient staff. The Hotel was quiet in the evenings hovever it is a short walk... More

Just had a really poor experience with a small conference at the Abbotts Barton hotel. On arrival the room wasn't ready - as the equipment we had booked hadn't been set-up. Went to ask for it and there was no one about except the receptionist who was busy settling bills - so had to queue up to speak to her... More

We weren't sure what to expect from the hotel. We are originally from Canterbury and way back in the day this hotel wasnt great. However we were back last night for a family occassion and stayed at this hotel. We had our black lab with us and he was made very welcome by all. The room was on the whole... More

Currently staying at the Abbots Barton hotel as a coach driver on a tour I have been here for 3 days and go home tomorrow. I am in a single room on the ground floor overlooking the car park, no issues with that very quiet. The room needs a bit of TLC like the shower riser will not stay up... More

I stayed at Abbots Barton Best Western Hotel for two nights in June as it was the closest hotel to clients I was visiting and I had also stayed at the Best Western in Peterborough previously. Based on my Peterborough experience I was expecting the Abbots Barton Hotel to offer similar standards in terms of rooms, facilities and food. My... More

We stayed for a 2 night break to explore Canterbury and have to say what a great place to stay. The staff were polite and helpful. (Special thanks to the young blond girl on reception who was extremely helpful with directions). Both check in and check out was efficiant. Breakfast is one of the best I've had. The choice was...

The hotel is in an excellent location just 10 minutes walk from the centre of Canterbury. Our room was comfortable, spacious and very clean, indeed the whole hotel looked as though it had recently been refurbished, don't know if it had! The staff were most helpful and although we only ate in the hotel one evening the food was very... More
