Turing College - University Of Kent

“Comfy but good value student rooms”

Stayed for a Diocesan Conference for two nights. Large bed than a single and well designed bathroom. Tea/coffee making facilities and free internet. Parking a little walk if all the spots nearby are taken.

“Great value for money”

Great room for an overnight in Canterbury. Clean and roomy. Lovely toiletries and fluffy towels. Kettle and teas/coffees in room. Breakfast was in Hut8 restaurant - cooked, cereals, yogurts etc. Would recommend.

Review more for parents really 🙂. Main door opens using a Secure fob into a spacious hallway. The halls are broken into secured numbered pods Off the hallway. Beyond the secured door numbered Pod say number 1 are the studios numbered 1a, 1b etc.. The one we looked at has 5 studios within it plus a spacious kitchen exclusive to these studios all Within the same pod. The Bedroom is spacious with lots of storage, shelves, a small wardrobe, under bed storage, a desk, a bin, carpeted, but advise to take a rug 🙂, own bathroom with a shower and toilet. The spring mattress felt old and uncomfortable, we may have to buy an additional thicker foam topper. There were new cleaning and dusting cloths left out. We took some anyway plus cleaning sprays as well. The kitchen was very clean, enough cupboards for each of the 5 studio rooms. At least a cupboard and a half. There were cooking pots etc though we took a set as well. There are two standing fridge freezers with enough space in the freezers for at least a compartment for each room. Good to know if you want to bring cooked food to be frozen. Large Gas cooker with six hobs and a large oven. No dishwasher. There is a laundry room outside and adjacent to the halls which is shared with the other three or fours houses in the Cul de sac. All in all satisfied as parents when we left.

“Great breakfast!”

I stayed here for two nights when I was at a conference at the Uni. This is student accommodation, so is quite basic but was clean and comfortable. I paid £100 for two nights B&B. Pros for me were: The room and all areas I visited were very clean It has an en-suite with a shower, which was lovely and warm and they also provided hair and body products and the elusive shower cap. You get a kettle with a variety of teas and coffee. Staff lovely and friendly Breakfast was great. I'm veggie and they already had vegetarian sausages cooked and waiting which rarely happens! There is a variety of juice and hot drinks, full cooked breakfast buffet, cold meats and cheese and a bread area where you can toast your own if required. Uni grounds are well sign-posted There is a bus that runs through the Uni. I didn't catch it but assume it can take you into the city. There is an on sight leisure centre, which you get free access to. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to visit it. Cons The bed felt quite cheap and was a small double, so think you'd be a bit cramped with two people Parking throughout the uni requires permits. Whilst you get one with your stay, the parking around Turing College is very limited No lamp in the room, so you're either in bright light or pitch black! Walls are very thin. I heard snoring and talking in the adjoining rooms. You're still about 1.5 miles from the centre and I thought £50 was a little excessive for what you get.
