"We really enjoyed our stay at Abode Canterbury. It is in an excellent location, right in the center of the old town, just across from the Cathedral. My room was clean, the bed was very comfortable and the room was quiet. The staff were friendly and helpful. The only complaint I have is that the "included" breakfast was just dry cereal and fruit plus toast, oatmeal or a croissant. All carbs. It would have been nice to have had yogurt or something that offered a little protein. Otherwise it is a really nice place to stay."
Dover Marina Hotel & Spa, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
10/10 Excellent
"This hotel is very suitable for cruise travelers. Everything was excellent. The breakfast was plentiful and offered a wide variety of choices. The service was outstanding, and it was very convenient for shopping and visiting tourist attractions. I had a great stay and would highly recommend it."

Breakfast was good quality fresh and hot. Fruit selection basic.
Intending on a return visit and will stay 5 days"
"Such a beautiful building very very poorly maintained the first room we were in had plaster falling from the wall and smashed tiles in the bathroom. They changed our room and that was much nicer but still poorly maintained. The gardens are amazing and very well maintained! The bar staff didn’t know what drinks were (aperol) and was only saved by a very nice F&B manager! Dinner was great however breakfast was terrible with a long queue after being told to book for 09.30 we stood in line for 20 mins and no table was available then no pastries at all and asked if I would like toast after my breakfast arrived. Reception was not manned in the morning and the person manning reception when he had clearly returned from his cigarette wasn’t helpful at all! In summary a lovely location building and grounds with some to the worst Maintenece I’ve seen in years and I travel globally every week and totally understaffed with the trained and the untrained!!"
"The hotel stands in its own grounds just of the M20 junction. It is large hotel with three floors and long corridors. Checkin went ok and we were allocated a third floor room overlooking the old tennis court (now used a truck park). The room is a little dated but functional. The shower worked ok inside a bathtub. There is no Aircon however as we stayed in a cool period, the windows gave adequate ventilation. The beds were firm and comfortable. The resturant provides a good Breakfast for £12 /head with a bar next door. We attended an event in the adjacent function room which was well organised. The leasure facilites are good with a large swiming pool, hot tub and steam room. Overall I would rate this mid 3 star hotel."
"Hotel as you enter is lovely, a cosy vibe and friendly welcome from staff. Lots of seating area for drinks by the bar. We stayed in a junior suite which was decorated lovely, bathroom was great with robes and nice soaps (only thing I’d recommend changing is the floor in bathroom which looked oddly cheap compared to everything else). Lovely tea and coffee facilities with biscuits is a nice addition for when you get back from a day out. Happy hour with complimentary cheese and biscuits is a fab idea and the espresso martinis were nice.
Only downsides that took the shine off things, one was the TV didn’t have apps or phone casting even though it said it had both it’s not actually set up and we’d plan to come back early and watch a film on Netflix so that was a shame. Then I slept terribly as the walls were so thin (room 57) and I could hear the man next door or below, unsure which, snore all night so I barely slept then when I did I was woke up early by the same people at 6.45am getting up for their day talking!! You really need to sound proof the room properly that’s not ok. And if you can’t sound proof you need to provide good ear plugs and a white noise machine.
Overall lovely just the edge taken off by not sleeping."
"We arrived on the hottest weekend of the year and our room had no AC. However, the staff had prepared the room the best they could, a fan, curtain closed etc. and it was fine. We were in the refurbished side and the room was lovely, clean and modern.
The breakfast buffet wasn’t great - limited continental and low quality hot items. Staff were friendly and efficint.
I would recommend this hotel for its lovely room, parking and close to town."
"I put this for my two daughters as they were staying away near Maidstone in Kent, we use these hotels all over the country and can say that this one did not let them down it was as good as all the others and my two daughters had a great stay"
