My stay at Abode Canterbury had its ups and downs. The location was fantastic, right in the heart of the city and close to the cathedral, which made exploring super easy. However, my room felt a bit cold and stark, and the bathroom could definitely use some TLC. On a brighter note, the staff were super friendly and the breakfast was really tasty, but the overall experience left a little to be desired.

I had a mixed experience at Abode Canterbury. On one hand, the central location was fantastic, just a short stroll from the cathedral and shops. However, my room was disappointingly small with some design issues, making it feel even more cramped. I did enjoy the friendly service and the cleanliness of the hotel, but a couple of inconveniences really stood out.
