Reviews and Ratings

Feedback about Number 8 from previous guests about their experience.
Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Number 8 in Canterbury is appreciated for its fantastic location, just a short walk from Canterbury East Station and the city centre, with some guests noting the proximity to a park. The modern apartments are well-equipped, often including kitchenettes, coffee machines with coffee pods, and even thoughtful extras like dog bowls and beds. The presence of the cafe 'Chatterbox' downstairs is a definite plus for many, though a few guests have found the communal kitchen facilities a bit basic for extensive cooking.

loud ac thin walls
I found some issues . The air conditioning system was quite loud. I could still hear noise from the building's central system even after turning off the AC in the room. I could hear noises from the adjacent room. My neighbor woke me at 7 am singing in the shower.

central apartment with excellent amenities

central location coffee pods quality toiletries dog bed
i appreciated the apartment's central location near the station. the provided coffee pods and quality toiletries were nice touches. i found a powerful fan and a hair dryer ready for use. the inclusion of a dog bowl and bed was very thoughtful.
the ac system was a bit noisy, even when switched off in the room, due to the central building system it runs on. this made sleeping slightly difficult, even with noise-canceling headphones.

EXCELLENT stay!

spacious suite equipped kitchen convenient location strong shower
The suite was spacious AND comfortable. I appreciated the well-equipped kitchen. It had everything I needed. The location is VERY convenient, only five minutes from the town centre. The bathroom featured a strong shower, which i found quite refreshing.
The air fresheners were a little overpowering for my preference. The scent was quite strong and noticeable upon entering the suite. It might be too much sensitive to smells
