Fantastic little find.
Friendly, quiet, clean. Cheaper than most hotels. Breakfast included was an extra surprise and bonus.
If I’m in the area over night again I’m certainly checking here for availability

Poor standard of amenities- tiny shower, and everything got soaked during shower, toilet was stained and old. Walls falling apart and gaps in grouting and moulding. No ventilation in bathroom and poor ventilation in the room. Windows need opening but located on ground floor so could not open at night. No bedside lamp and room was dark. Bed was great but a little damp. Slept very well as it was quiet and comfortable

As expected, no thrills but clean and comfortable. Would avoid in hot weather though as the rooms are well insulated.

Veey good basic accommodation. Very comfortable bed and en suite bathroom. The college isn't in the centre of Canturbury; it's a good mile to walk to the centre and it's up a hill on the way back. However there's a regular bus service to/from town.

The mattress was so bad, we had to move out and book a premier inn for the second two days.

Worst bed I’ve ever slept on. Mattress is completely worn out. The pillows and duvet smell of damp. There in mold on the shower room. The walls are paper thin and you can hear through them.

Awful check in experience.
I queued up behind a couple whose electronic key fob to open their room wasn't working. They were given a card to get in instead.
The receptionist gave me an electronic key fob to get into my room. I went to my room to discover it didn't work, so went back to reception.
She then gave me an electronic card instead. I went to my room only to discover that that didn't work either, so went back to reception.
One of the other people on reception said they would come with me to try and diagnose the problem. It wasn't clear what needed diagnosing - I think they may simply have thought I was too dopey to use the key fob and card - but I agreed. We went back to my room where they discovered that the key fob I'd told them didn't work, didn't work, and that the key card I'd told them didn't work, didn't work. So we wandered back to reception.
Now I was given a key fob for a different room. Hurrah, it worked! But it was located in a flat full of Dutch school children on some kind of learning holiday. I'd no sooner got in my room than one of their carers knocked on the door and was quite insistent that I had to leave - understandably they were quite concerned about unknown adults around small children. So I wandered back to reception.
At fifth time of asking, I finally got a working key to a room I could stay in.
There are positives: the campus is nice, the breakfast is good. There's a bus stop very close by to get into town.
But very uncomfortable bed.
