ABBEY CANTERBURY GUEST HOUSE - Canterbury

We came to stay for 1 night, were allowed to check in early which helped. Had a few questions for the owner however he never answered the phone! Ignore the 1 star reviews, it's great for what it is. Comfy bed with a jacuzzi bath in a great location 1 min from Canterbury West. Tried to request a late checkout, were told we had to leave as the owner was going out. Slightly unprofessional. Missed out on 5 stars across the board for lack of communication. If the owner's reading this, answer the phone!!!!

We had the family room. The owner greeted us and advised us on where to park which was very helpful. Rooms & decor were lovely. Lots of positives and the location is fabulous. A few negatives; No kettle (Do like a cup of tea in the morning). 4 People who take sugar in their tea with only 2 small sugar sachets. No wardrobe. All guests have to walk through double bedroom to access bathroom. Lovely bath but no shower. As converted house lots of noise from people walking above. I know I have listed some negatives but I would definately stay here again and recommend to others. Abbey Guesthouse, thank you for a lovely stay. We will be back.

I'll be honest I was a little worried about staying here after reading some of these reviews & the outside of the building isn't particularly inviting BUT the room was actually super! The 4 poster bed was incredibly comfy, we had a tea and coffee machine and even a jacuzzi bath which I wasn't expecting to be as fun as it was. Generous amount of soft towels and toiletries also provided.

Lost a star as the bathroom was quite cold

Would certainly stay here again, super close to St Dunstans town center and within walking distance of loads of great places to go for dinner.

Serves it's purpose very well if you only intend to have a short stay. Bed was comfortable enough, good amount of towels provided, room decoration was a bit hit or miss, coffee machine was much apreciated and the jacuzzi was a surprise to be sure but a welcomed one.

This is a lovely little guesthouse that's perfect if you're spending the weekend in Canterbury. My girlfriend and I had a warm, comfortable and peaceful stay in a nice room with en suite. The bed was comfy and it was quiet and relaxing. The guesthouse is also located in the middle of town, just up from the station so it's easy to get everywhere. We'll definitely return.

Small guest house. Our room was spotless but rather small. Was supposed to be a double but should be in the category of small single. Jacuzzi bath facility was unecessary due to lack of space thus no room for shower cubicle. In it's favour is the fact that it is central for Canterbury city but sadly due to my above comments we will not be returning.

The only thing very nice about our experience at the hotel was that we arrived early but they let us check-in. It is also convenient that the hotel is located so close to the train station. Nearly everything else was bad. The room we booked - cheapest at the hotel but not so cheap in general - was very tiny. The bathroom in particular was incredibly tiny, hardly any room to move about to do your things. The wash basin was a joke - so small your hands won't fit, and even that area is half-covered by a huge bowl of soap dispenser which is empty and useless. It was a hot summer day but there was no fan and the window could only open a tiny bit, so we had a hard time sleeping. No AC obviously. Check-out time was somewhat early, 11 am. And when we asked during checking in if we could leave our luggage with the staff while checking out, so that we can go to see the city and pick it up later while leaving by train, the staff refused saying there won't be anyone on that day, we should just leave the key on the ledge while leaving. Then what's the benefit of booking a place close to the station? Not a comfortable experience and won't stay there again.

When we arrived our room was not ready which meant we had to wonder around town for an hour with our bags. There was no official checking in and out process. I was simply told to leave the key for the room on a front desk which was not a secure space at all. Also, there was a power cut that lasted for 2hrs and no members of staff were on hand to assist meaning we were without power for quite some time at night. The rooms were clean and presentable but very small.
