Quant and close to theatre

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.

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.

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.

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…
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Alison, 1-night trip

Charming place, with a very friendly and helpful Innkeeper. Perfectly located close to the Cathedral and the amazing centre of Canterbury.

For the price, it’s a solid and affordable option in Canterbury.

8/10 Very good

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
David, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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!
Charlotte, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

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.
Nicola, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

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.
