    It was a bit tricky to find at night. It's accommodation is quite basic. It is not a luxury stay but that is to be expected. It was still good value

    Very good value. Although it is out of the centre, access to the city is easy and it is also convenient for visits to Whitstable. The campus has lots of facilities even out of term time inc a v good small supermarket and regular buses. It was interesting to see how students live, a very different experience to most places you stay. The breakfast was good -canteen style

    Great value for money and generally very pleasant.
    • Leisure trip

    • Budget Double Room
    • Stayed 7 nights

    It was extremely good weather for most of my stay and the room, which was on the third floor, was horribly airless (the windows only opened a tiny bit) and in direct sunlight most of the day, so it was almost unbearably hot at night. Consequently it was very difficult to sleep there. There was hardly anybody else staying in my block for most of my visit but even so on a couple of occasions I was also disturbed by very loud noise - music and cars revving up, shouting etc. The food on campus is rather basic; it's canteen-type fare mostly.

    I stayed for about two weeks while I was waiting for a house purchase to go through. The campus is very pleasant. Plenty of open green space. A nice view. It's a nice walk down into Canterbury. There is good shopping, eating and sightseeing there. Although my stay encompassed a bank holiday, when absolutely everything was closed, generally the facilities are comprehensive. There's a supermarket, a bookshop plus Café Nero, a laundrette, the Gulbenkian theatre and cinema, and several restaurants

    Space in shower was small - to not get the shower curtain stick on you. Lovely student kitchen but nothing to use - cutlery or tin opener.

    Student apartments so plenty of space and en-suite as well.

    I have do understand that dorms are purposely built and furnished for the full-time students. But my only negative about the rooms are the mattresses which are not at all supportive, which are then placed directly on top of MDF. So it would be great if the mattresses were of better quality.

    All the property staff that I came into contact with were always pleasant and helpful. The property and grounds are well kept and clean The position the property sits on hill above the old town, is within its a very peaceful and pleasant nature conscious site with wildlife, such has small wild rabbits etc, happily grazing. grazing naturally. It is also well located for the local bus into town and also to other many surrounding places of interest, like, Whitstable, Folkestone, Hythe, Dymchurch and Rye in Sussex.

    Very functional space for someone wanting to work without distractions. Generous good quality breakfast. Plenty of woodland and countryside surrounding the area. Shop on-site had everything you might need. Distance to the city is a reasonable walk.

    The Beds!. It also would be a great 'addition' to have fans in the rooms, due to the building absorbing the days heat, and making the rooms quite hot during the night.

    Professional, polite, friendly restaurant and reception teams. The location is quiet and restful. Great breakfast options. A very clean environment.
