The Greyfriars Lodge

Sanjeewa was a lovely welcoming guy. The hotels location is fantastic walk to town. The value was reasonable for Canterbury. The hotel was in need of a freshen up and a good deep clean, could hear a lot of noise from others in the hotel and outside but was not an issue. The mattress wasn't the best but for what we needed it was ideal. He let us keep our luggage there before we checked in and after check out which was so convenient. The morning breakfast was basic but all we needed and lovely little set up. There was no issues and nothing too much trouble. Thanks ☺️

We had a family room, good size although the mattresses were a little past it. Clean though. Only had a bath no shower. the chap who checked us in was lovely, friendly, and helpful. Breakfast was only continental and basic, was enjoyable though. Excellent position. This is a basic hotel and although my comments are not great, it was good value, i didnt expect a lot for the price. i would stay there again

Sanjeewa was incredible, he looked after my sister and me! He made it feel like a home from home and was very clear from the get-go that this was not a 5* experience haha. If you want a home-from-home experience and can look over the little things, this is the place for you. Honestly, it was all down to Sanjeewa making our stay feel so comfortable and safe. He went out of his way to make us feel so welcome and like family! Breakfast was lovely and just what we needed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I stayed at Greyfriars Lodge Canterbury last weekend and had a wonderful experience. The hotel itself was comfortable, welcoming, and perfectly located for exploring the city. My husband and I really enjoyed the breakfast that it was so delicious! What really stood out, however, was the exceptional service from the manager, Sanjeewa. He went above and beyond to make sure everything was taken care of, offering helpful recommendations and making us feel truly looked after. It’s rare to find such genuine hospitality, and Sanjeena made our stay unforgettable. I highly recommend Greyfriars Lodge to anyone visiting Canterbury and will definitely be returning! Many thanks for making our time lovely!

A great little find. Amenities are a bit basic, and the rooms are a tad small (ours was, at least), but the room was clean and very comfortable. So, the details. The location can't be beaten. 5 minutes walk from the Cathedral, 10 minutes walk from St Augustine's Abbey. We arrived and were welcomed by (I think) the owner, who could not have done more to help. Easy check-in, brief explanation on where to park at a discounted rate (no on-site parking here, but guests have a discounted 24-hour rate at a very close multi-storey; £15 per day), and we were shown to our room (top floor, and we could see the cathedral spire from the window). The room was a tad basic, with a *tiny* unsuite sort of added into the room (but, as this would have been a monastery at some point in its past, small rooms are sort of expected). There was no hand soap in the ensuite and no hand towels, only bath sheets, but there is a Sainsbury's Local about 15m away, so the soap issue was sorted for less than £1. Also, the toilet in our room appears to be an electric affair, which does make one heck of a noise when flushed. I think there is a macerator and suction pump, which would explain the racket! The breakfast is a continental style, so cold meats, cheese, bread, cereal, yoghurt, that sort of thing. Nothing bad, and you can get as much as y, ou want. Overall, this is a great little find. The price is probably the slightly higher end for what you get (£93 per night when we stayed, enf of July), but the location, the service, etc, does really make this a great little hotel if you want to stay in Canterbury centre
