We stayed in a wooden cabin just at the back of the property and it was a great experience in terms of cleanliness, location and generally accommodation type. The staff at the reception was super friendly and helpful. Breakfast was tasty and fresh.

My mum is in Canterbury hospital so I needed a place to stay and be close to her. The location was perfect. All the staff were excellent and extremely supportive to meet my needs. This place is a home from home full of information especially if you want to explore the area they have everything you need. I love to cook and found a well equipped kitchen to lose myself cooking and distress after a full day's visit at the hospital. I totally recommend YHA. Thankyou ☺️

I like the central location of YHA Canterbury, which makes it convenient to explore the city. The property is well-maintained, with clean and comfortable rooms. The staff are friendly and welcoming, always ready to assist. The communal spaces have a cozy atmosphere, perfect for meeting fellow travelers or relaxing after a day out. I also appreciate the affordable rates and the availability of kitchen facilities for self-catering, which is great for budget-conscious visitors. Breakfast was perfectly awesome 👌
