Comfortable and Good Value
Lovely location in the scenic grounds of Canterbury University. Room was similar in size, facilities, and comfort to a Travelodge, but with breakfast, wifi and room cleaning included, much better value.
Great breakfast.
A great location for a weekend trip to Canterbury.

As expected, no thrills but clean and comfortable. Would avoid in hot weather though as the rooms are well insulated.

Veey good basic accommodation. Very comfortable bed and en suite bathroom. The college isn't in the centre of Canturbury; it's a good mile to walk to the centre and it's up a hill on the way back. However there's a regular bus service to/from town.

Worst bed I’ve ever slept on. Mattress is completely worn out. The pillows and duvet smell of damp. There in mold on the shower room. The walls are paper thin and you can hear through them.

Cheapest accommodation in the area. Good price for own bathroom and breakfast included. The room was clean, but the the room and whole building had an unpleasant smell, and windows only open about 10cm, so couldn’t really air it out. Also the amenities weren’t the best with no soap or shower gel, which I didn’t bring and was hoping to be included. Not a major problem but would have been nice to know beforehand. I stayed for 2 nights, and housekeeping came to clean my room on the second day.

Awful check in, uncomfortable bed, nice campus
Awful check in experience.
I queued up behind a couple whose electronic key fob to open their room wasn't working. They were given a card to get in instead.
The receptionist gave me an electronic key fob to get into my room. I went to my room to discover it didn't work, so went back to reception.
She then gave me an electronic card instead. I went to my room only to discover that that didn't work either, so went back to reception.
One of the other people on reception said they would come with me to try and diagnose the problem. It wasn't clear what needed diagnosing - I think they may simply have thought I was too dopey to use the key fob and card - but I agreed. We went back to my room where they discovered that the key fob I'd told them didn't work, didn't work, and that the key card I'd told them didn't work, didn't work. So we wandered back to reception.
Now I was given a key fob for a different room. Hurrah, it worked! But it was located in a flat full of Dutch school children on some kind of learning holiday. I'd no sooner got in my room than one of their carers knocked on the door and was quite insistent that I had to leave - understandably they were quite concerned about unknown adults around small children. So I wandered back to reception.
At fifth time of asking, I finally got a working key to a room I could stay in.
There are positives: the campus is nice, the breakfast is good. There's a bus stop very close by to get into town.
But very uncomfortable bed.
