Kipps Canterbury is simply amazing!! Best hostel I've ever stayed in. Small, cozy, quiet -- like a b&B. Wonderfully outfitted with great facilities, staff, fresh linens, etc. 10/10

The staff was excellent, very helpful, the facilities were all in good working order and clean and they organise something for the guests every evening? It felt like a home away from home! For me personally, there was nothing I disliked, but because this hostel is so very different from others, it might not be suitable for every young traveller. Or it could be a refreshing change!

The place was clean, the staff was incredibly friendly, and the common areas/kitchen were very big and cozy. I loved the free popcorn and hot chocolate. The price seemed reasonable. It's a little bit of a walk from the Canterbury village central. I wish we could have gotten a double bed, but we should have booked further in advance.

The staff is very warm and friendly. It is really good value for money. The place has good facilities for backpackers including kitchen and washers. There is a small garden which is very pleasant in a sunny day. We can get tea or coffee supplies during our stay. On the day we left, we checked out early in the morning and left our lugguage in the hostel so that we could come back in the afternoon when we move on. We could even help ourselves to another cup of tea when we came back to get the lugguage. The furniture is very old. However, this is not an issue for me. The hostel is good value for money.

One of the best hostel I have ever had. It's located near the bus station with a 10 minutes walk, so it's close to the city centre but you feel like a local. It's an independent house with everything like a real home: garden, kitchen, lounge, stairs..... Gave me a real home atmosphere. Really lovely. Strongly recommend it to everyone who comes to Canterbury. Have a really nice stay here. Wish I could stay here longer. Will definitely come back again and recommend to my friends. No key card but not a big deal.

Ostello economico e colazione compresa nel prezzo. 10 minuti a piedi dal centro ma ferma anche il bus 25 al costo di £0,90 che porta in centro in 5 minuti. Tea e caffè gratis in camera. e anche l'uso del PC Gentile lo staff . Stanza piccola e bagno condiviso ma in compenso c'è un piccolo lavandino in camera. La tv è nella saletta. Modesto

値段が安いからというだけでこのホステルを予約しましたが、スタッフの人は皆親切で英語が良く分からない私- にも丁寧に対応してくれました。 他の利用者もとてもフレンドリーで気安く話しかけてくれたので、英語を勉強している身としては大変勉強にな- りました。7人部屋を貸切状態で使わせてもらいましたが、部屋は広いしベッドも堅くないし快適でした。ロッ- カー、紅茶、コーヒー、wi-fiは無料です。正直こんないいホステルだと思いませんでした。 特になにもありませんでしたが、強いて言うならラウンジのテレビが夜になるとなぜか電源が入らなくなります- 。

El trato del personal. El baño compartido da alguna que otra complicación pero para una noche o dos no es un gran inconveniente.
