Me and my wife stayed at the hotel for 5days. Sanjeewa was really nice and helpful, everyday he is checking on the guest for breakfasts and always asking if we need something. If we back to the Canterbury, we might stay here again.

Really friendly staff. Customer service was excellent. The rooms are quite compact but are well suited to single or two-night stays in the city. The location is right in the heart of the city within easy walking distance of the museum and Marlowe theatre.

Stayed 2 nights here the location was excellent a short walk to shops and restaurants, room was small but clean needs some updating. The cold tap in en-suite was loose and the macerater toilet was very noisy. Sanjeewa was very kind and helpful he seemed to be the only staff there. The breakfast was basic but very nice.

Stayed here for one night (24/4/26). It was good value for money as far as I’m concerned. The Greyfriars Lodge is very old but it’s clean. We were very happy with the location. 10 min walk from Canterbury East Station. 4 min walk to Marlowe Theatre the main reason we came to Canterbury. 4 min walk to Butter Market and the Cathedral. The room we had was spacious and the staff very welcoming (Sanjeewa). If you’re looking for modern place to stay then this Lodge isn’t for you. We like to support small businesses.

The place was really calm and peaceful. My room was very cozy and clean. A special thanks to Mr Sanjeewa who is the property manager. He was very polite, friendly and helpful. He even allowed us to keep the luggage in a safe space in the lodge itself after checkout that may we could finish our lunch before we leave Canterbury. Will recommend the place to others.

Greyfriars is fantastically located but the property is quite tired. The shower was hand held over a bath. The “parking” is a garage a quarter of a mile away and quite expensive. However Sanjeewa was the nicest and most helpful person ever. Nothing too much trouble! 5 stars for him.

Room and linen were clean. Building overall is old and rooms basic with aged furniture in basic repair. Sink was so small it was barely usable shower was ok just. Most annoying was the mascerrating toilets in the building which made a terrible racket every time flushed so from 0600 when people started getting up all you can hear is mechanical grinding. Checkin was prompt and friendly Use this location for a few nights if you are going you be out late and up early, needing a clean bed after a late night. It's a cost effective solution just off the high street.

Great place to stay if looking for somewhere that doesn’t cost too much and you need to be right in the heart of Canterbury. Check in was nice and easy, arranged payment for parking in nearby multi story with no issues. Staff were friendly and helpful. Room was a bit basic but honestly great value for money. You get what you pay for. Ideal for if you’re on a budget. We stayed in family room (2 adults and 2 children). Everywhere was walking distance. Would definitely use again.
