    The location was convenient and within walking distance of the stations. the room was comfortable with a great bed, TV, and sink, and the bathroom was very clean. the staff were welcoming and helpful, providing advice and information. the facilities, including the kitchen and lounge area, were spacious and well-equipped, with a beautiful garden.

    The selection of TV programs in the communal sitting room could be improved.

    I had a great value for my money at Kipps Backpackers. The room was clean, comfortable, and had everything I needed, like a TV, kettle, and sink. The location was convenient, just a short walk from the train station and bus terminal. The staff was friendly and helpful, and I loved meeting fellow travelers from all over the world.

    The breakfast option could be improved by offering a wider variety of choices.

    I absolutely loved my recent stay at Kipps Backpackers in Canterbury! The location was extremely convenient, just a short walk from the city center and railway station. The budget-friendly price was a great value for the comfort and amenities provided. The common lounge and kitchen area downstairs were perfect for socializing and meeting other travelers. I also appreciated the availability of basic cooking ingredients in the kitchen. The friendly and positive attitudes of the staff made me feel welcome and at home. The fresh bouquets of flowers added a lovely touch to the overall ambiance. I highly recommend Kipps Backpackers for anyone looking for a comfortable and enjoyable stay in Canterbury.

    The hostel provided a wonderful and cozy atmosphere that made our romantic escape truly special. the staff was friendly and helpful, and the rooms were immaculate with fresh towels. It was great to have a comfortable bed and a clean bathroom, which added to our relaxation. the location of the hostel was perfect, just a short walk away from the center of town. We enjoyed being able to easily explore the area and take in all the sights and sounds.

    One minor inconvenience was the limited access to the kitchen before 8am. It would have been nice to have the option to make our own breakfast without worrying about breaking any rules.

    I recently stayed at Kipps Backpackers for a few nights while volunteering. The staff were friendly and made me feel very welcome, even inviting me to join them for Christmas dinner. The accommodation had a homely atmosphere, with a cozy kitchen area and lounge. The bed was comfortable and the shared bathroom was clean with fresh towels. The room had a hotel-like feel with a TV and tea and coffee making facilities. great value for money and a nice place to stay.

    Would be happy to recommend this hotel.

    I stayed at Kipps Backpackers for a weekend while helping my daughter settle into university. The hotel's layout was lovely and the rooms were spacious. The well-designed garden provided a peaceful and homely atmosphere, which was exactly what I needed after a stressful day. The location was perfect for exploring the city on foot, with the Cathedral and my daughter's halls just a short walk away. I would definitely choose to stay here again.

    Can't recommend highly enough this hotel.

    The hostel exceeded our expectations with its clean and spacious rooms. the bed was extremely comfortable, and the facilities were amazing. We were pleasantly surprised by the modern furniture and the extra touches like towels and pillows. the location was perfect, within easy walking distance of the historic center, shops, and restaurants. This made it convenient for us to explore and enjoy the local attractions. a great place to stay for our romantic escape.

    We didn't have enough time to fully enjoy all the facilities the hostel had to offer. It would have been great if we could have stayed longer to make the most of the amenities.
