I rented a private room for myself. This meant I had four bunk beds and an en-suite to myself for £40. It was very clean and actually quite quiet and the check-in was super easy and friendly. A much better deal than similarly priced hotels I think. Thanks!

Property was clean and as expected. Check-in time at 5pm is a couple of hours later than other accommodations. Earlier check-in would be more preferable.

Well located, near city center (20 min walk). Love the cooking area. It's very clean and people at the office are kind and helpful. Missing some showers, and it's noisy in the morning (hearing outside the bedroom and outside the building as well). Otherwise, lovely stay!

We stayed in their garden log cabins as they had en-suite facilities. The cabins were just great for our purposes and very private.

Pied à terre économique à Canterbury

Si la formule est comparable au YHA, le bâtiment ici n'est pas récent et quelques rénovations restent à faire (fenêtres, peinture, moquette...). Le lieu reste cependant une bonne alternative en terme de prix pour un séjour court. S'agissant de la propreté, un plus au niveau de la salle de restaurant serait apprécié (vaisselle, poussière, meuble de déserte...) et de la cuisine commune (à partager avec les hôtes qui sont pas raisonnables...). Centre ville proche, tout comme la route bien fréquentée.

Generally very good. Breakfast could be challenging, lack of room, long queues as a large party of kids there. Front room a bit noisy as near main road; but nothing to be done about that!

Basic accommodation and a Warm welcome.

I had a very warm, quick and efficient check in. The room was very clean, with a lovely thick duvet. The hostel has a really lovely atmosphere and the building has many original features and a lot of character, which I like. This is a hostel, so I wouldn't expect the same facilities as a hotel, so no kettle in room etc, however I paid less too. There is no chair in the room, however it was really comfortable to sit and read on the bed. I was able to leave my car in the car park during the day which was really helpful as I was meeting someone in Canterbury that day and parking would have been an additional hassle and expense. The only issue really was the room was cold. This was originally because the windows were open for covid reasons, however the room didn't heat up much during my stay once the windows were closed. Happy with my stay though.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. The property was clean. Great location. The negative was the room was very small and no on-site parking as limited spaces.
