“I appreciate the hotel's central location, offering convenient access to key attractions like the Botanic Gardens and Canterbury Museum. The flexible event spaces and range of room configurations-from dorms to deluxe apartments-make it suitable for diverse groups, but some may find the communal showers less than ideal. In my opinion, it stands out for its commitment to community support and sustainability initiatives.”

poor ventilation loud parking
I found a couple of issues . The heat in the room was quite uncomfortable. There was no ventilation except for opening the entrance door. the view from my window overlooked the parking lot, and I was bothered by car door slamming throughout the night.

the location was very convenient, right next to the gardens.
my room faced the street and i could hear street noise at night. the shared bathroom was quite a walk from my room (i felt a bit unsafe). the breakfast options were limited and not very appealing (i really wanted some fresh fruit).
