Fabulous night sleep, the most comfy of all beds, lovely breakfast and great service. Only gave 4 stars as parking is limited and car parks locally are more expensive when parking for 3 days!

Abode is a lovely place to stay. We have stayed at abode many times. There must be quite a high turnover of staff because noone recognises us to say welcome back. The city centre location is very convenient. The staff are friendly.

Good location. Room however was looking tired, particularly in the bathroom. Terrible service over breakfast, very clear cut backs are being made and sadly we encountered a very rude member of staff with a very poor attitude which was also commented on by the table next to us

Hotel staff didn’t great us on entry, just stood there doing some work, the room was okay, not high quality, but clean, but we had a room next a street that had a pub with outside drinkers which were very noisy until early hours and a generator that came on and off! Not what we expected.

property was not warm and cosy as advertised, very few staff members around, you need to chase to get any service, restaurant food very ordinary and overly expensive for what is was. Canterbury city centre not what it was just a few years back.

Good size room and clean. Nice complementary bathroom products. Only thing I would say that lets the room/bathroom down is the poor lighting for applying makeup. Friendly helpful staff and breakfasts was very nice. Great location for theatre and some lovely restaurants. Would definitely stay again.
