Staff were very friendly and extremely helpful.
The room was clean and had everything we needed, the comfort of the bed was exceptional, great nights sleep!!
All in all a lovely stay and we would recommend the Abode in Canterbury.
We stayed in Canterbury for a little over a week, and ABode was the perfect place to stay. The staff were all gracious and helpful; the room was exactly what we needed; we were close to the cathedral as well as the shops and restaurants. The Christmas dinner was delicious, and there was so much of it! We also loved the breakfasts every morning. Highly recommend.
Incredible hotel with a great room and breakfast was fantastic

Thank you for a great stay. The room was generous size and a great shower. The breakfast was perfect! But what a wonderful building! Steeped in history with an oak unit dating back to the 16th century!!!! Incredible 🙏
Charming hotel, lounge & brasserie. Front desk staff and restaurant staff were excellent. Breakfast was both delicious and plentiful. Our only complaint was the shower in our room had various temperatures that made it difficult to take a proper shower. Other than that, it was very good and would stay there again.
