Reviews of YHA Canterbury

10 November 2011

Liked: Room is large and less number of the beds there than normal. You can use enough spaces.

Disliked: There is no free internet. You have to pay for it. Using a coin operated locker is charged. This hostel is closed from 10-17. During this time you cannot enter the room at your first day because you don't have a key, only kitchen is available. You cannot bring alcohol you bought outside. Only alcohol purchased at the reception can be consumed in this hostel.

09 August 2011

Liked: Quiet location and city center is not too far away (5 - 10 min walk).

Disliked: Takes quite some time until very hot water comes out then suddenly. The toilet flush worked more like a water pump station. It costs one pound to lock your luggage in a locker. Whenever you open the locker and take something from your luggage you have to pay again. Slow internet connection. Internet connection costs 5 pounds per day. Room was not very clean. No real bathtub or shower cabin. When you showered almost the whole bathroom floor was wet. Overall a very poor cost / performance ratio.

Liked: The building is unique and atmosphere is good.

Disliked: There're a large group of student (maybe middle school) come to the hostel that day, the whole building become the party hall to them, making very very big noise until 2am, then from 6am, it comes again. My friend and I almost haven't slept that night. The receiption closes at 11pm so no one will stop them. That's the worst night I have spend since I begin to use Youth Hostel. If there will be such special situation, the hostel shouldn't offer us into the hostel that night, isn't it?

Liked: I spent a good might, the bed was comfy, but it was so noisy ! i'm used to hostel, I'm not usually picky but there, all night long, doors kept banging. there is absolutely nothing to reduce the speed of the door and no good isolation in the walls. My bed kept shaking everythime someone went through a door and let it shut by itself !

Liked: With a YHA hostel, you always know that you're going to get at least an adequate place to stay. This was no exception -- it was a decently comfortable and clean hostel with helpful amenities. Breakfast being included is always helpful, and they had a tasty selection of cereal and pastries. Overall, it was a good experience.
