Hostels in Canterbury

"We arrived 10mins after checkin and could not get in contact with the “after hours manager” we sat around waiting for an hour calling the provided numbers, and found him lighting the fireplace. Kitchen was nice hot tub was great. They have large TV and lounge area on both levels. Hopefully next time there will be better communication "

"Great facilities all round, affordable, central, staff friendly and helpful "

"The only thing was that I was used to a firmer mattress. And maybe an extra pillow would have been helpful."

"Good eatery street just behinds the hostel."

"Great place for a short stay .... fitting with in the price range . It gave us exactly what we needed when attending a function out of town . Was simply clean compact easy to find and very friendly staff . YES we would stay here again if in the part of the Country. "

"Great atmosphere "

"I have stayed here a number of times and have always found it very convenient, clean and easy to be a guest.The host is always very pleasant and chatty. Generally much quieter than most backpackers which is great"

"The location of this place was great, and the staff were friendly. However the kitchen was dirty and had very few usable utensils or tools, the locks on the bathrooms didn't work, some of the lights wouldn't turn on, and all of the surfaces in our room were slightly sticky. Also, although I realise this isn't something the management have any control over, my children were exposed to language that I was extremely uncomfortable with from other guests."

"Stayed 2nights in private double. Late check in email stated room would be unlocked - it wasn't. Nobody answered the phone. We had to stretch in the window to unlock the door. The room stank. Really horrible old damp smell. Next day we were locked out of our room with our belongings inside "pending payment" - payment had been taken online already. Took 5 phone calls to get keys to our room sorted."

"Good location to centre. We were arriving outside office hours but they left a hand written note and map that we appreciated with the key. Private room was comfortable but outside walk to toilets and showers. Good hostel stay. "

"Badly lacking maintenance and room hadn't been cleaned very well."
