Pros:

The location is perfect for the City.So nice to have a fridge in the room too. The owners are very helpful, and a nice little cafe right next to it. Very quiet and a relaxing stay

Cons:

The only thing I didn't like was the rather noisy resident above. Why do people have to slam doors , and not just close them !

Great loacation. High quality.
Pros:

Great location. High quality conversion. Perfect bed. Plenty of tea, coffee and milk.

Cons:

The ventilation system was very noisy in the bedroom. We were in Suite 5 and I think some of the equipment is in the loft above. Could not have slept without ear-plugs. (Of which there was a large supply provided.

Bathroom was nicely fitted but the toilet was fitted too high and too close to the sink unit. Made it awkward. (Builders fault)

Central, modern apartment
Pros:

Great central location, 5 minutes' walk from the centre but still quiet. Well appointed, modern apartment. Very comfortable bed. Good host communication and easy access via keypad.

Cons:

The only negative, and it's a minor one, was the toilet which was uncomfotably high off the ground!

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!!
