ABode Canterbury

10/10 Excellent
"Great location. The roads near the hotel were a tad bit confusing and narrow for drivers but we found the hotel car park eventually. Otherwise great location in the centre of town and close to restaurants and the Westgate Gardens. Hotel staff were friendly and make recommendations on places to visit."
