This hotel feels very homey. The owner is fantastic and very accommodating. Everything is clean and nice. The hotel has a kitchen and a lounge area. They provide tea, coffee, and even milk. It was wonderful to have access to free and secure parking in the courtyard.

This was ideal for a 2 night stay where we needed a central location with parking. Clean, airy, very comfortable bed, fridge in the room with ice box, good shower and bath. The biggest bonus was shared use of a full kitchen with gas hob, cooker, microwave, Toaster, coffee machine, large fridge, well stocked with crockery , glasses, cutlery, etc. Secure parking space behind the hotel with use of remote control gate.
The furniture was somewhat random but this didn't really matter. Low sloping ceiling bathroom could be awkward for a tall guest but fine for us.
4.3
A big home feeling, clean and comfortable. Coffee, sugar, biscuits and other unexpected complimentary extras which was a nice surprise. Straight away replied to calls and text when needed, very friendly. I would definitely go back. Great location, close to everything
Some bits were a bit too old or broken. Like a ripped cushion or a container with colour pencils and a broken key or a loose bolt... left inside the room
4.3
Has everything, a home away from home. Big bedroom and ensuite, room 3 at the top. Secure and private. Full use of kitchen and living room. Secure private parking. Great location, walking to town and local supermarkets.

I appreciated the Netflix :)
Little bit awkward to arrange everything by phone when we arrived but actually no problem at all
4.3
Easy to access the building without communication problems.
The room is much smaller than expected. We didn't get the room where the photos were shown. But for one night stay is fine.

Everything was good.

In deze woning op korte loopafstand van het stadscentrum worden drie kamers verhuurd. Alle gasten kunnen gebruik maken van de keuken en woonkamer op de begane grond. Bij de accommodatie is een parkeerplek beschikbaar tegen betaling van 8 pond per dag.
De beheerder was niet aanwezig op de door ons gemelde aankomsttijd. Telefonisch (via antwoordapparaat) gesproken en hij was er binnen 10 minuten. Hij gaf vriendelijk maar summier en onvolledig informatie, bijvoorbeeld geen info over uitchecken en achterlaten van de sleutel.

Very nice location and hot water in bathroom.
It was my upstairs neighbours were loud.

Location to the center of town.
The property smelt heavily of cigarette smoke throughout. I was unable to stay at the due to the fact that I’m allergic to cigarette smoke. I had checked the reviews before I booked but hadn’t seen the complaint from another party that the owner smoked. I contacted the owner to cancel my booking soon after I arrived but he did not respond to any of messages or phone calls over the next few days. He took full payment for three nights even though I didn’t stay at the property. In still waiting for booking.com to resolve the issue.
Other things to note are that there are no kettles in the room so you need to use the rather cluttered communal kitchen. The furniture and decor is tired and cluttered. I did not stay a night so I cannot comment on the comfort of the bed. I would highly recommend avoiding this property. This has been my first bad experience with booking.com. It remains to be seen whether they can resolve the issue.
4.3
Room was Spacious, Close to the Town, owner was friendly, Room was very secure, felt very safe.
# Allowed my daughter & her Friend (both 17yrs) stay when other Hotels turned them away. I was very Greatful and really appreciate his kindness.
The Room was very warm but we found a fan which helped and made a difference.
4.3
An easy walk to Canterbury attractions with on site parking an option if prebooked for £8 per night.
Property was as described with shared kitchen and lounge.
The place was somewhat tired in decor and furnishings but the bed was comfortable and for the price it was fair. There are three rooms, each with locked door access. The proprietor is not on site. We did not see the other guests, possibly they were longer-term residents eg students.
4.3
La proximité du centre ville, une chambre charmante et bien équipée avec salle de bain privative, chambre propre
Une seule serviette pour 2, et très chaud dans la chambre
4.3
Very responsive host, had
noisy guests in the room next door and he straight away sorted it.
4.3
Clean and convenient location
I parked my car in the allocated spot but when I tried to drive out later I couldn’t leave the site as the electronic gate was locked.
I tried calling the host but got no answer. I was so frustrated as I had an important event to attend.
4.3
Very friendly welcome upon a late check in! Comfortable private room only a short walk away from the town
£10 to use certain amenities like toothpaste is a bit steep.
4.3
L'emplacement est très commode, l'autonomie est appréciable pour la cuisine , les repas
Le radiateur de ma chambre ne fonctionnait pas , le thermostat étant cassé et lorsque nous sommes venus il faisait très froid et dans le salon il faisait à peine 15 degrés

Convince to all amenities

La pulizia. Ovviamente come italiani sulla pulizia ci teniamo un'po di più,però.... 5gg senza cambiare gli asciugamani....
4.3
Excellent location for city but very quiet at night, comfortable, light large room which felt like home with all convenience of access to kitchen (inc. washing machine)dining room and lounge. Friendly and helpful staff responded to any questions we had immediately. Excellent value! Thankyou for a great week stay!
Dated unnecessary decor… but not my place so…
4.3
The location is excellent! Waitrose and Tesco express are just 3 mins away. There's also parking @£8 per day. We can walk to the Town Centre within 10 mins.
The house is well equipped. The host is very pleasant and accommodating. On the day we checked put, we left our car in the designated carpark until 1pm , allowing us to do more sightseeing, shopping and lunch.
The house is off a busy main road, it wasn't easy to locate and we drove pass it twice! Perhaps need to leave instructions how to get to the place, especially those who are driving. You can actually safely drive to the back where the designated car park is located.
4.3
Clean room, powerful shower, all facilities to cook for yourself, good WiFi. I would definitely stay again!
4.3
The property was large (a 3 level townhouse layout) and spacious and placed well for the town centre.
The room was spacious, clean and also had a small fridge in the room which helps with cold drinks etc.
The check -in time of 16.00pm and check-out time of 10.00am, needs to be reviewed to better accommodate guests. During my stay one room was vacated at 10.00am, but not turned around until that late afternoon.
With the property not being a large one and only having so few (3/4) rooms to turnaround the check-in/out could be more accomodating for the guests.
The shower rail and curtain 'inside' the bath is a bit of an obstacle and due to the curtain not being cut to size, all the the excess wet material sits around your feet, and could be a bit of a trip hazard waiting to happen.
The lounge has a sliding patio door that opens onto a small courtyard which then opens directly out through a back gate into a public neighbouring property parking area.
The doors original locking mechanism is missing, and this has been replaced with just a brass 'hook and loop latch' which was always left unsecured, so the doors could be just slid open from the outside, which happened during my stay with a small group of people entering the house through these doors.
From both a guest and property security perspective the owners / management should get the door replaced or professionally repaired to avoid unauthorized entry.
4.3
Excellent comms and flexibility from landlord - provided fridge for stay and let us leave luggage after check out

The room the bed the bathroom, brilliant! Washing machine didn't work which was a shame but everything else was fab! Couldn't fault it. Location was great too. Close to shops food and bars. As well as the historical sites of canterbury
Lack of washing machine.
4.3
Far was amazing to deal with, very friendly and welcoming. There was anything you could possibly need, chargers, hair-dryer and basic cooking supplies in the kitchen which often get missed like baking paper for the oven and salt, pepper & oil. Room was spacious and the bathroom spotless which is more that what I can say for many a place I've stayed in!
The decor was a little dated, and there were a couple of small stains on the carpet in the room, but certainly not a big deal and attributable to normal wear and tear. There was a new carpet square around the bed as a mat which was newer and unstained so clearly there has been effort made to make up for it. Overall, the cleanliness was great!!

The owner was on time when we arrived and responded promptly, but that was, except to the near city centre, almost all... and yeah, Netflix for free with a good TV, if I had more energy and time :/ yeah and the last positive aspect - we were capable to leave at 12, which I appreciated.
Don´t understand why anyone has a bed in accomodation with a front wood (don´t know the exact term in English). I had my long legs part of the night and that wood wasn´t exactly soft. What´s more, the matresses were too soft, which is not good for sleeping.
Amongst other things I "appreciated" the most when other accomodants walked, closed the doors or did whatever movements, for the walls were from cartoon! Same for the owner or his family? It´s not appropriate to smoke under someone´s window, even less when he or they might be still sleeping...
Considering all above written, the price (even though we booked the same day, I admit) was astronomically riddiculous.

Lovely little place great room great location overall very happy
Nothing

Good size carpeted clean room and comfortable bed with small fridge and large tv and good wifi. Coffee and tea etc in the kitchen left by the management for guests.
Nice property located within a short walk to the centre and parks etc.
Personally found the internal shower curtain placed inside the glass shower screen a bit challenging, but nothing major to ruin my stay.
Overhearing a guest sitting below in the small fenced court garden smoking and spitting onto the ground in the mornings.Other than that relatively quite house.
4.3
Very comfortable and spacious accommodation. The bedroom was great, having lots of nice features and touches : fridge, large flat screen TV, wardrobe, bedside tables, plenty of wall sockets, electric fan, en-suite ....
Shared features include a fully fitted kitchen with a larger fridge-freezer, dishwasher, washing machine, oven & hob, and tea and coffee.
The shower in Room 1 was a letdown. There was a contrived shower curtain / shower screen combination and not very spacious. The shower head either sprayed such a wide jet of water that it went everywhere or slowed to a low-pressure trickle.
We couldn't get any of the BBC channels on the TV in the room; the picture was scrambled and the sound distorted.
4.3
Great location in a beautiful town, room was big and clean, kitchen even had a coffee machine
4.3

Fab location
