Customer feedback
We guarantee that all our feedback is genuine and can only be submitted by people who have booked through our websites.
Mr Ian Ellison, August 2011: would recommend to all my family and friends, great location and value for money. Breakfast choice was exceptional
Ms Phyllis Fisher, August 2011: I felt every consideration for my stay was thoughtfully and individually given. Staff were nicely approachable and proactive in making my stay as comfortable as possible. The lack of being excellent simply due to limits of student accommodation. Thank you for a really good break.
Miss Marie-Lyne Bouthot, June 2011: Friendly staff
Mike Yates, September 2010: Staff were very helpful, and the room was clean and very good vfm. However the toilet was rather dilapidated (flaking paint and poor ventilation). Also the window in the room only opened a small amount so ventilation in the room was also poor (on a very hot day) - perhaps the air conditioning was not working. However I will be recommending this to others as excellent budget accommodation for the single traveler. Thanks to you all.
Jodi Meyer-Mork, August 2010: The dorm room was very comfortable. Venting in the bathroom area is needed as it always smelled unpleasant. The breakfast offered had a variety of foods. The office personnel were especially helpful. I also liked the walking access to the city centre!
Alan Tutt, August 2010: Only one moan, the young summer school kids were noisy outside, which is fair enough as they are having fun but on the Thursday night this went on until after 12
edward matlock, July 2010: Dinners were self sevice and main meals cost £4.50
to £5 but on the whole good value with a good choice.
Ary van Wijnen, March 2010: We had a very pleasant stay at Canterbury and everything was alright, pleasant and well organised
Lachevre, March 2010: That was very pleasant and I was lucky to have a room with the view on Canterbury.
Among the information you provide, could add the opening hours of the reception desk ? It could very useful. Thank you very much.
Neil Ford, February 2010: Thankyou, I enjoyed my stay at the univercity, I found it to be very good value for money although the staff were not over friendly. As i needed a place to stay in difficult circumstances it was very useful.
Neville Holden, February 2010: I would consider booking this location again.
Robin Appleton, February 2010: It would be helpful to know how far the accommodation is from the train station and the frequency of public transport to the site. As well in Canterbury the signage in the building was unclear as to where the accommodation was to be foound.
Christina Renczes, February 2010: very cheap and very nice!
Mrs MJ Young, July 2009: Beautiful setting lovely views of Canterbury. Room was just as expected, basic but clean and comfortable. One slight glitch as one of rooms had a faulty lock and my friend was unable to get out in morning! Apart from that really good experience. Would definitely recommend and would stay again.
Colin Bytheway, July 2009: Really great place to stay
