Host was lovely however the rooms are dated and cramped. Shower was broken and the toilet moved when you sat on it. Great location needs a revamp

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.

2/10 Poor

What a terrible experience

It was such a shame that we stayed in this hotel. I can not even imagine how they managed to advertise on Hotels.com Unfortunately I can not find any positive things about our stay. Even though their staff tried their hardest, I can not give more than half a star.

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.

10/10 Exceptional

Great location and value for money

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.

An OK value option

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.

Only desperate travelers need apply

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…

Good location

This place is in a great location for the town and where we were headed. The room was described as premium twin room but unfortunately i would remove the word premium, it needs a lot more work. But for what we needed, a bed near to the town it was OK. Bed was comfy but if i can suggest anything it would be to look at things like curtains (ours were hanging off the window) general cleanliness dust and cobwebs...and a paint job. But our host / manager Sanjeewa was great, very friendly and even extended the breakfast times as it was after NYE. He was very welcoming, we would stay here again but that would be just for location.

Nice place. Friendly services.

The hotel is very nice and within 5 minutes walk of the centre. Sanjeewa was very nice. The continental breakfasts was good, plenty of breads, crumpets, cheese, ham and salami, etc. The only bit of problem for us was that the room we were in, on the top floor, the wifi was extremely weak. We have to move around the room to find a connection near the door. Obviously we can't stay at the door all night so had to use our mobile data. Like some other reviews on here says, there's NO onsite parking despite whatever they advertise as. You can park in a car park abouts 8-10 minutes walk way for 15 pounds a day or find some on street parking further out.

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.

Stay at Greyfriars Lodge

We arrived at Greyfriars Lodge and was met by Mr Sanjeewa who was polite and friendly. During our stay, he responded to our request for shower gels , towels among other things quickly. Breakfast was continental and Sanjeewa was was attentive. Location is convenient and near to town centre. Will come back to stay at this hotel again if we visit Canterbury again. LIM & Family.

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.

8/10 Very good

The location in terms of proximity to the centre of Canterbury was great and the street where the accommodation is located is really cool. The staff member on shift (Sanjeewa) was really nice and I couldn’t fault him. There was a lot of street noise outside throughout the night and this seemed to be work related, rather than members of the public. Whilst I can’t blame this on the hotel, the original window was broken and stuck in an open position and this probably didn’t help. The room was described as a deluxe king size room. I don’t think two single mattresses, with a gap down the middle is quite the same and this was irritating. Also, the shower was below standard. It had very little water coming out of the head and no attachment for the hose and so I had to hold it throughout the shower. I think this is pretty poor and could easily be rectified.
