A great location in the centre of Canterbury. The owner is most welcoming and kind. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Breakfast is continental with lots of choice to eat in or take away. I recommend this property for a value for money city stay

This property is perfectly located in the centre of Canterbury and extremely well priced. You are within walking distance of everything you want to visit. The rooms are small but adequate for a short stay. My only gripe is the low pressure on the shower. The breakfast was fine and certainly set us up for the day. Sanjeewa the host is a real pleasure. He was always available and was constantly checking that everything was okay. He is worked to the bone and is a real gem for the property owners.

Sanjeewa worked extremely hard to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The room was clean, as was the bed and linen. Breakfast was adequate, but would have liked a croissant.

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 💯

Breakfast was great. The hotel manager a nice helpful person. The beds were very uncomfortable and would be better if the shower head was upright. Overall everything in the room was outdated. The lack of heating too. The big radiator was not working and was replaced by a much smaller one which was too small to heat the whole room. The hotel manager kindly lent us his fan heater from reception but there needs to be something more permanent in place.

Lovely property, convenient location, renovated nicely, comfortable clean and compact, exactly what we needed. Only meet one staff member, but he was polite, helpful and informative. Minor details like taps a bit loose and TV remote needed new batteries could do with attention, but no big deal. Nice range of breakfast items, nice dining room. Listing on Expedia said the hotel had parking which wasn't true but the local multi storey did the job

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.

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.

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.
