We were passinmg through the city and passed the Abbots Barton Hotel and decided to ask if they had a room available for the night. The receptionist was more than helpful and offered us various rooms, superior double or a standard double and we settled for a special rate of £135 for a standard room and that price also included... more

Our family were in the U.K. for a family wedding, staying with relatives except for the night before the wedding, when we were booked into Abbot's Barton. The building is lovely and all the staff were helpful and pleasant, but the beds were harder than the one the Black Prince is lying on in Canterbury Cathedral! The very heavy, metal-hosed... more

Having read other reviews of the Abbots Barton, I am beginning to wonder if my wife and I actually stayed in the same hotel! We stayed at the Abbots Barton Hotel for two nights in November 2006. The hotel is located about a ten minute walk from Canterbury Cathedral so is ideally situated for sightseeing. The room that we were... more

We stayed for two nights, while visiting Canterbury for a friends wedding. The hotel is very pleasent, and we found the staff to be helpful, friendly and very polite. On our first night, we had dinner in the restaurant, and we were very impressed at the service. The food was nice too. The bed in our room (203) really let... more

The worst hotel management I've ever experienced. Rude, abrupt, got the bill wrong and no apologies at any point in time. The place also has this vague smell of sewage. Stay anywhere else, but not here! more

The building is beautiful, the blonde receptionist appeared to by very busy and stressed, slightly rude I felt not welcome on arrival. These prices you charge for a double room I would expect a nice and friendly welcome . more

Well what an extremely expensive room, turned out to be a double in the loft above the kitchens. The bed like a rock and just cramped and small. Food in restuarant was very nice. Building and gardens very nice. But for 160 pounds per nite with breakfast its nothing short of a rip off. Look elsewhere. more

I stayed an the Abbots Barton on a number of occasions over a four month period ending in January 2004. It's in a quiet location though only 15 minutes from Canterbury city centre which was one of the reasons for me staying there as there are numerous places to eat in the evening. The hotel had been recently been refurbished... more

We stayed at the Abbots Barton Hotel for 2 nights and although the hotel is nice, clean and the staff very attentive, the restuarant meal was somewhat disappointing and would recommend a walk into town for dinner instead where there are numerous good restaurants such as Marlowe's and Cafe des Amis. Oh and be warned the rooms have no air... more
