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.

Sullen staff. Hopelessly long wait for service in bar area. Thin walls of room; could easily hear adjacent guests. Sorry to be negative, but that’s how it was!

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.
