We thought the apartment was very comfortable with good facilities and had a lot of charm. It is very well placed for the city centre. Great for the price.

Cons:

The building alarm went off about an hour after we arrived. I rang the contact number and left a message but my call was never returned .

Amazing Hotel!!
Pros:

This Hotel is Amazing, such a great find in such a great location. This place is spotless and very well decorated!! The moment I walked in, it was warm and inviting. I loved the fabulous decor, the super cleanliness, the generous space, I also loved the attention to detail, how warm the rooms were and the absolutely fantastic location!! The bed was super comfy and I had a fab shower the next morning, the sort of one you don't want to get out of... The only issue I had was that I was only there one night so I will certainly be booking again for a longer stay. Just a note, if you booked through booking.com make sure you check the room you have booked as they are different. I unfortunately booked the wrong room but Hotel 8 were so helpful in putting it right. This hotel is one of a kind and perfect for Canterbury, don't hesitate to book if there's availability as you won't be able to beat it. Thank you so much Number 8, I'm looking forward to staying with you again soon!!

Cons:

Nothing

Beautiful, Comfortable and Convenient stay in the heart of Canterbury
Pros:

Beautifully decorated, immaculately clean, central location Close to the shops, restaurants and theatre, comfortable and quiet overnight, and very responsive hosts. Couldn't ask for more for a spontaneous date weekend.

Cons:

While convenient and easy to find, the City centre car park was very expensive at £17 for 24 hrs, but we were aware of this before arrival. There is also an option to use the Wincheap park and ride depending on your arrival and departure times (the buses stop early in the evening).

Pros:

Great location, very clean & liked the flat style

Cons:

Only thing the mattress was very uncomfortable, left our bodies achy during the day/night. Maybe the other rooms are better and it was just our room.

Pros:

Great location, a lovely room with its own bathroom, mini fridge, smart tv and Netflix included - you don't see that often. Very clean as well :))

Cons:

Little thing only. I'd rather the secondary source of light in the room was not as bright as the main lamp. It felt much too bright in the room late in the evening.

The room was comfortable and met our needs but a bit overpriced
Pros:

The keycode access was very simple and the location is excellent for exploring the city. A clean and simple bedroom with nice shower room.

Cons:

The bedroom is small for a kingsize bed with little storage, and the toilet seat needs securing. The shared kitchen is accessed down steep steps to the basement which could prove inaccessible for some people. The stairs carpet would benefit from a shampoo.
