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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
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.

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 The hotel was slightly outdated and could do with some upgrading, the shower has no attachment, breakfast was basic but plentiful, the room itself could have done with modernising however it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

Although the property is a little old and tired, it was great for an overnight stay. Manager was lovely and breakfast; continental style and plentiful. Really close to Cathedral and other local attractions. For those with mobility issues there were a couple of steep staircases to climb to get to upper floor rooms. Fans were provided, but rooms were still stuffy, not too much of a problem if you like to be warm like me - it was a warm August night. No on-site parking, you park in a public car park about 8 mins away and it costs £15 via the hotel for 24 hours. Make sure that you keep receipt for this. Council empty bins at 6:30am on Monday morning. This is not a hotel issue, just to let light sleepers know, it happens all over the city. Would go back in the future if in the area.

Glad we found it.
The best thing about this visit was the outstanding service of Mr Sanjeewa. His willingness to go above and beyond what was expected of him was surprising and refreshing. Another great plus of this lodge is its location. It is a bit outdated and in need of some small repairs but totally worth the money because it's clean, good bedsheets and towels, spacious, and offers a good car park deal. We were very happy with our stay. Thank you Sanjeewa for making it so pleasant.

This is an old building but has been made the best of & was v clean. Set in the centre of Canterbury within a stone's throw of the main areas. There are two main drawbacks. 1 There is no car parking at all as it is set in a no through narrow street. Car parking is offered & they will book it for you.It is charged per 24hrs & is a 10min walk away. The other is that breakfast is only Continental although nicely set out.
