Best Western Abbots Barton Hotel

I was a guest at a wedding here and it is in a convenient location near the city centre with more than adequate parking. The staff were friendly and welcoming and the hotel looked well cleaned and cared for. The venue is perfect for a wedding with an adequate sized function room with good toilet facilities for guests. I was due to actually stay at the hotel overnight but due to the government putting up migrants there - other guests and I had to book into a hotel over the road overnight instead which was slightly problematic as we had bad weather on the day of the wedding and had to walk about 600 metres in the rain after the evening function finished.

With its gothic exterior and excellent location, this hotel is an ideal place yo stay in Canterbury. The rooms are extremely well appointed, the staff are very helpful and when the restaurant and bar are open, good food and drink. You can actually walk into the city centre. However, it is quite expensive.

We were given the newer decorated rooms in this hotel and they were lovely. The hotel is on the main road but set back so doesn't feel like it. Beautiful building, warm welcome. Staff were very helpful and polite. Parking on site as part of the price - godsend!!

Our room was beautiful!! Newly restored. The bathroom was great, and the bed was super comfortable We actually slept in! We loved the historic feel to the building but we're happy to see the room updated. Excellent parking!! Also has an elevator/lift which is a perk in an older hotel.
