For what we paid the hotel was good! Right next to the city center. Breakfast was basic but good and the worker ensured that it was constantly stocked up! Great for a couple of nights :)
The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, and all the other guests were clearly having a good time because we all wound up chatting over breakfast! Lovely!
You couldn't be more central (excellent location). Sanjeewa was wonderful - We thought we had an issue with our TV & he came up immediately to sort it (it was us, not the TV)! Breakfast was so good, continental but plenty of variety. Sanjeewa also allowed us to leave pur bags at the property, after check-out. Really can't rate this place highly enough, at the price we paid. Would recommend 💯

Love Canterbury!
Amazing location in the centre of historic Canterbury and Sanjeewa was most helpful
The gentleman was so welcoming and accommodating. Had a lovely stay with a delightful breakfast.
Some street noise but other than that a great place to stay.
Beds really comfortable and room warm and clean.

Great central location for a short break
My teenage children and I stayed just one night at the Greyfriars Lodge. It has a great, central location and the host, Sanjeewa, was very welcoming and helpful.
Beds are very comfy too!
Recommend this hotel for a short break. It is in need of some renovation but for a short time it is very acceptable.
Charming place, with a very friendly and helpful Innkeeper. Perfectly located close to the Cathedral and the amazing centre of Canterbury.

Great location, decent value, get what you pay for
Great location. Just off high street, about 6/7 minute walk from either station, right next to Sainsburys express, and loads of restaurants bars etc
Very dated interior, doesnt look like its had an upgrade since the 90s, and could do with a renovation, carpets a bit frayed etc. However, having said that, was clean, the owner was charming, and considering the location is very good value.
Stayed in same room as before. Nice and clean. Was hot as no air conditioning but fan was provided.
Quant and cheap, close to theatre. Everything you need for an overnight stay.
Sainsbury's just up the road too for snacks.
Sanjeewa was a very welcoming host and very kind. We could have left our bags to collect later but we were due to leave Canterbury. It was quiet at night despite warnings of noise on the website. It is very convenient for the City, 5 minutes walk from both the Marlowe Theatre and the Cathedral. The rooms and decor are a little dated but perfectly fine for a short stay.

The people were so nice and were always cleaning, but the toilet had some kind of a pump on it. When you flushed it would add water and then make an ungodly noise. This always made me jump. Worse if you used the toilet at night, with a full badder, the pump would activate. OH MY!
The host Sanjeewa was really sweet and made sure our stay was very comfortable, the bedding and towels were clean and the rooms tidy, the only negative was the smell of damp in the bathroom when you opened the shower door but the water was very hot and I had a lovely shower.
Our family of four had sufficient beds The location is mid-town. The continental breakfast was ample. And Mr Sanjeewa was exceptionally kind and helpful.
Odd smell in room, poor breakfast option, room was dated and bed uncomfortable. However, the single member of staff did a really good job trying to make us feel welcome. A slightly cheaper option than other stays in Canterbury.

Ideal for exploring
Location was perfect! The hotel was slightly outdated and could do with some upgrading, the shower has no attachment, breakfast was basic but plentiful, the room itself could have done with modernising however it was large and the bed was comfortable. Manager was lovely very accommodating looking after luggage until we was ready to go home. Ideal if your looking for something affordable as a base to explore from.

Dated but clean and comfy!
A bit dated and tatty in places and breakfast is very basic. But a very comfy bed with clean crisp sheets and towels. Good nights sleep at the back of the property on the 2nd floor. Guy who checked us in was friendly and helpful. Overall it isn’t plush but great location and things that matter are there.
