Basic student residence
It's OK for what it is, but it certainly isn't 3-star, or even really 2.5; it's just really basic student accommodation with no frills. For example, there's only a shower, with a fixed overhead rainfall head; the only lighting is extremely bright, with no low-light options; and there was only one chair in the room. The bed was comfortable enough for sleeping, but the mattress had a very stiff edge that made it uncomfortable to sit on. Parking arrangements were unclear; guests get a permit at reception, and there are a small number of spaces available, but they were all taken. The remaining spaces were all marked "Loading Only - 20 mins max, 24/7" - but people were parking there anyway, and it eventually transpired that "24/7" doesn't include weekends!! Access is not too bad but the officially available parking is not that close, depending on which block you're in, and of course there are no lifts, so guests may have to get luggage up/down several flights of stairs.

Great clean place to stay with a wide choice at breakfast. Tables there are set up to sit large numbers at one sitting. There is plenty of parking, if a bit of a walk away from the accommodation. There is a regular bus service into the centre of Canterbury costing about £2.50. The stops are a short walk down a grass path. I would stay there again.

Not bad
The staff at the reception was very helpful and friendly. The campus is amazingly located in hectares of green and very well organised structure wise. The room was nice and clean but being a student accommodation the bed was not up to a hotel standard (small size and mattress uncomfortable and old as springs were coming out ). Couldn’t comment the breakfast because we had to rush out by 10 am so we missed it, although it was included.

Good value stay
This is a value for money place to stay. Everything we needed was provided including a good buffet breakfast with hot breakfast options. My only small complaint would be that the only lighting in the room was very bright ceiling lights with no alternative forms of lighting available. It would have been nice to have had the option of turning off the bright light and used bedside lighting instead.
