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. Mrs Fox

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.

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.

Duvet covers stained, walls had food splashed on them, none of the furnishings had been updated for decades, the beds needed new mattresses, the shower gave either very hot or very cold water…

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.

The room was a little cramped but for what we paid there was no reason to complain. Sanjeewa at reception was very efficient and kind and everything went smoothly

Very quiet location, good night sleep

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.

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 The hotel was slightly outdated and could do with some upgrading, the shower has no attachment, breakfast was basic but plentiful, the room itself could have done with modernising however it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.

It was a lovely old building and quite basic in terms of amenities but the best value for money if you want to stay in the city centre and have shops and pubs immediately around in Canterbury. Would definitely stay again when on a budget!
Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2023

10/10

The hotel is very well located in the centre of Canterbury, only a couple of minutes walk from the cathedral, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Sanjeewa, who runs the hotel, was very friendly, welcoming, and always helpful during our stay. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. Though the decor could use a bit of an update, this didn't affect our stay at all, and you can hardly expect more at such a reasonable price! A continental breakfast was also included with toast, crumpets, muffins, yoghurts, cereal, jams, honey, etc. Though there wasnt any parking at the hotel we booked parking a minute's walk away through Just Park, which worked well for us. Sanjeewa did contact me prior to our stay though, advising about parking and offering to let us drop off luggage to save us having to walk with it. We all really enjoyed our stay at Greyfriars Lodge and would happily visit again in the future.

I love the way sanjeewa welcome me, he is such a nice guy, very gentle and respectful. His welcome attracted me to love the lodge, I had to apply for another night but unfortunately there was no space again.
