Number 8 is a beautifully renovated Boutique Hotel in the heart of Canterbury (15min walking to Canterbury West train station, 5min to Canterbury bus station, 5min to Canterbury Cathedral). I was able to check in early, which was of great help to me; thank you again! I stayed in Suite 5; the pictures completely reflect the rooms advertised. I loved the separation between bed room and lounge. The small 'kitchen' area with a fridge (no freezer), a coffee mashine, and a kettle was sufficient to have a relaxed breakfast in the morning. There was a fully equipped kitchen plus washing mashine in the cellar; both I did not use. The small bathroom has a good size with a washing basin, toilet, and walk-in shower. The bedroom had a big and comfortable bed. Available heating was sufficient for November temperatures. Overall, I can recommend staying at Number 8.

There is some general ventilation that cannot be switched off or regulated by the guest. The ventilation in the bedroom is situated directly over the bed: the sound did sometimes disturb my sleep, and I also felt some air movement on my head, so I slept the otherway around to get out of it. I am a supporter of sustainable approaches but I did not like the wooden cutlery and paper plates/cups/etc. I appreciate the tought that these are nature friendly and compostible. However, there is no seperation of waste, all ends up in one bin. Within the 5 days of my stay, I would have loved to accumulate less waste. In my eyes, it would be perfectly fine to clean a cup, a plate or some cutlery in the wash basin of the bathroom or step down to the kitchen to do so.

Location is fantastic!! Only a 6min walk from the station. The apartment itself was wonderful. You can tell the owners care about the details. Quality coffee pods, nice shampoo/conditioner/body wash, powerful fan for bedroom, and there was even a chair next to a mirror in bedroom with hair dryer and rack for your flat iron or curling iron! We love that they provided a dog bowl and bed, and there is a park only 3 minute walk away (there is a grassy patch literally around corner of you need somewhere even closer). We found the entire place very comfortable and instantly felt at home. Also sits above a coffee/shop cafe!

Everything is great

We had a wonderful stay at number 8. The location is just amazing within five minutes of everything. The only negative and it didn’t detract from the stay for us was when booking it isn’t very clear the facilities in each room. We will go and book there again, but next time I would like to have a room that has a sink for washing up. We were travelling with our dog. I would highly recommend the apartment. Also just across the road is an amazing very small burger bar which does fantastic fresh food. It’s a short walk to the car park which was locked at night so it made us feel our car was secure.

Brilliant location, super comfortable and spacious. Fully functioning shared kitchen on LG floor. Car parking very easy to organise with hosts at nearby multi storey, costs £15 per 24hours and can come and go as needed. Did not find it noisy at all. The host was very kind and answered any questions promptly- we had a lovely time!

Would be an added bonus to have a kitchen sink in the mini kitchenette to wash up cups/plates as we were on the top floor- however there is a fully functioning, and extremely clean shared kitchen on the lower ground floor.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The heating could be easily adjusted and there is also a separate air-conditioner unit for the summer. I stayed in room number 3 which has a little fridge. There is a kitchen in the basement, which includes a washing machine. All the rooms and suites have different features and I would recommend that you have a look on the hotel’s website to choose the most suitable room for your stay; as detailed descriptions are given there. Do check out the nearby Three Tuns pub. It has a great open log fireplace and they were doing lunchtime deals. Three courses for £7.49!

All good

The suite I had booked was small and cosy and absolutely tidy, with a comfortable bed and no noises to be heard in the bedroom at night. In the bathroom, there was a rainfall shower and a sufficient number of towles of all sizes, as well as different kinds of products, like soap and shampoo. Check-in was easy and Laura was very helpful, when there was a problem. Number 8 is close to the High Street, so you have all kinds of shops, restaurants, tea rooms and coffee places nearby. And it is only a five minutes walk to Canterbury Cathedral.

I would have appreciated, if there had been at least one hob for preparing fresh coffee in the flat (I don't like the capsules that are being offered at accomodations). Actually, there i s a kitchen in the basement which allows guests to do their own cooking, but it is dark and there isn't much space. So I went out for dinner every evening. Luckily, there is a roastery nearby, they make very good coffee; so with a coffee to go I could have breakfast at the flat.

Lovely cosy modern flat with everything you need for a short stay, and at a very affordable price. Tea/coffee/milk provided, plus toiletries. There’s also a communal kitchen ( basement) and bike lockers in the yard free for guests use. Fab location close to Canterbury East Station and the shops. Has a cafe below ‘Chatterbox’ which was perfect for breakfast. It was dog friendly too. We can’t wait to stay again!

Everything was good, just a little too hot for us. Also, being on the 2nd floor could be problematic if you’re less mobile/carrying a child/dog/shopping up the stairs.

The suite was self-catering as we expected and needed as we've got two children and eating out is always difficult and expensive. The rooms were comfortable, clean and well looked after. It was well stocked and it was handy having the guests' kitchen downstairs. The rooms were in Canterbury city centre so very convenient for shops and seeing the city. The car park was just down the road and it was really helpful of the owners to sort out parking vouchers for us. This worked well as we were driving to Dover for one of the days. The owners were really helpful and informative. Price was the best in the city for us, especially during holiday time.

I can't say anything could be improved. We had a good time in the suite.

Location is really good, the room was nice and the shower had always hot water and decent water pressure. Coffee machine in the room was great as well.

The mattress cover was clean but not 100% spotless and because the duvet cover was open at the bottom, the duvet can start hanging out of it. Now, if they also clean the duvets between guests that's not a problem but if not, it would be preferable to have a duvet cover that has some sort of closure at the bottom.

The facilities were well thought out on the whole, and it's a very central location. Easy to follow and accurate instructions for entering the appt. Having Netflix on the TVs was great. The shower and bathroom were big.

The rules stressed that all washing up should be done by guests to avoid a fine. But the sponge provided looked as though it had been there a while and was not suitable to clean with. It made you feel like all the crockery provided (in a well thought out way) had not been cleaned for you to use in the first place. The tray under the draining board was also scummy. The Nespresso machine was a great addition, but all of the pods except for one were decaff.
