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.

Overnight stay in Canterbury
The location price in the high Street ideal. I feel more staff could be present on reception. Nice comfy room. Nice to have additional towels. The showers below standard. I would not consider this room good value for money. Place felt really congested. Nice light in the room. I would consider coming back in the future.

The Hotel upgraded us to include breakfast which was nice, the hotels position couldn't be more central so everything was manageable on foot. All the staff were great nothing a problem which made the stay so enjoyable, the hotel restuarant bar etc lovelly, room comfortable and clean but due to its age decoration needed some attention.would definitely return.

Pros- fantastic location for town centre. Helpful, lovely staff. Very quiet. Rooms have good air con. Bed was comfy. Bar is nice, breakfast was great. Cons- no hot water for shower in the evening, water in the morning was warm at best, not hot. The shower is over the bath; not what I'd expect for a 4* hotel. The bathroom was rather the worse for wear, not especially clean in places, cracked tiles. Needs a revamp.
