+ A wonderful place to stay that I highly recommend! The accommodation is beautiful, clean, and well maintained, with excellent services and a very welcoming atmosphere. The shared kitchen is fully equipped with everything you need and offers a great opportunity to interact with other guests and share experiences, making the stay even more enjoyable. The staff are exceptionally professional, friendly, and helpful. The location is excellent, and the prices are very reasonable for the quality of the services provided. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for comfortable, enjoyable, and affordable accommodation.
− The only suggestions for improvement would be to provide more personal lockers for luggage and to extend the check-in hours, ideally throughout the day and until late at night.

Bunk Bed in Male Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom Bunk Bed in Male Dormitory Room with Shared Bathroom 4 weeks ago review category group of friends
+ Staff friendly and helpful, nice building and convenient location, close to Canterbury city. Sufficient number of bathrooms and facilities for the number of rooms, . The bedroom was fine and it was reasonably quiet. Nice kitchen and seating area for breakfast, with plenty of seating. Breakfast was ample and tasty. Nice quiet lounge to sit in too.
− Parking was limited so we had to find street parking a few minutes walk away.. There were a couple of issues with lights in bathrooms not working and a toilet didn't flush. Final issue which isn't their fault is just other people moving around or being noisy at night.
