Abode is in the middle of the high street, yet no noise was heard in my room. Canterbury is easily explored on foot. There is parking, but I came by train, and the west station is a 10 minute walk.

A lovely modernized medieval building. Wonderfully helpful staff, great room facing the Beany museum. On the first floor is a lounge very reminiscent of a Tudorish sitting room, beamed ceilings and all.

We had a lovely stay at the abode. Hotel is located in a great location for exploring Canterbury. The hotel was clean and the staff were very helpful. Some areas of the hotel looked like they needed a lick of paint but overall it was good value for money.

Room 125, constant noise of a door slamming throughout the night, the noise appeared to be coming from a staff / service area, the bed was unlevel and like a blancmange, certainly won't be going back.
