University of Kent - Rutherford College

Needed to stay one night at the university and this was perfect. Really clean room, very quiet and good breakfast. I stayed top/3rd floor of Keynes. I do work at the university but this a genuine review.

We took a room as part of the Unis holiday accomm offer. Takes a while to discover where the facilities that accommodation guests can use are located. We discovered a cafe serving decent food till 8:30pm on campus. In the morning you find the most impressive breakfast refectory hall with its straight line view of the distant cathedral. Also to be discovered in the evening is the 30 min brisk walk into via back paths and residential streets to Canterbury city centre.

I wasn't expecting much as this is basic student accommodation. The room was clean and comfortable enough, although sparsely decorated. There was one toilet shared between the 8 rooms which didn't flush very well. The floor in the corner behind the door, and the grill in the door had years of dust built up which was a little off putting. The breakfast had a good selection. Seating was difficult as every table had a reserved sign for the many groups that we're staying. We gave up looking in the end and plonked ourselves on the end of a table and hoped they didn't turn up! The college surrounding are very pretty and the grounds well kept. The price of 2 single rooms was the same as a twin in a good hotel down the road, so although the stay was pretty much what we were expecting, I don't think I'd rush to go back.
