Still under construction and felt a bit neglected. Breakfast was understaffed and in a dark room without windows. But the room itself was clean and comfortable and parking was helpful

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean, lovely, and quiet. The bed was super comfortable and TV was great. The bathroom was modern and clean. Staff were super lovely. No issues for us. Didn't use bar or restaurant so nothing to say for that, but we were able walk into central Cantebury in 7-8 mins and we would have dinner there. So all in all, would absolutely recommend for an easy and enjoyable weekend!

Abbots Barton Hotel = perfection! From check-in to check-out, everything was flawless. The staff? *Chefs kiss*—so attentive and genuinely lovely. Pro tip: Order the room service pizza at 3AM (trust me, it’s a crispy, cheesy lifeline 🍕✨). Location-wise, it’s a dream—just a short stroll to Canterbury’s heart, but blissfully quiet. Comfy rooms, zero complaints. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting!
