You couldn't be more central (excellent location). Sanjeewa was wonderful - We thought we had an issue with our TV & he came up immediately to sort it (it was us, not the TV)! Breakfast was so good, continental but plenty of variety. Sanjeewa also allowed us to leave pur bags at the property, after check-out. Really can't rate this place highly enough, at the price we paid. Would recommend 💯

Breakfast was great. The hotel manager a nice helpful person. The beds were very uncomfortable and would be better if the shower head was upright. Overall everything in the room was outdated. The lack of heating too. The big radiator was not working and was replaced by a much smaller one which was too small to heat the whole room. The hotel manager kindly lent us his fan heater from reception but there needs to be something more permanent in place.

Lovely property, convenient location, renovated nicely, comfortable clean and compact, exactly what we needed. Only meet one staff member, but he was polite, helpful and informative. Minor details like taps a bit loose and TV remote needed new batteries could do with attention, but no big deal. Nice range of breakfast items, nice dining room. Listing on Expedia said the hotel had parking which wasn't true but the local multi storey did the job

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.

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.

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
There was one member of staff doing everything without support or security. I booked 5 nights. Area was rough at night and hotel guests were shouting and fighting two of the nights. I was frightened. It looked like manager had been beaten up, but he denied it. Walls were very thin and a couple in next room kept me awake most of night. It was disgusting. Breakfast was basic but there was limited fruit and fresh items. Club and pub opposite Lodge was extremely loud and rowdy well past 12am. This is not a good place for families or decent people to stay. Management need to get a security guard and more staff. They are obviously just interested in making as much profit as possible at the expense of the sole member of staff and the decent clientele. Rooms were clean and sole member of staff was helpful and polite, making the best of a bad set up.

Sanjeewa was a very welcoming host and very kind. We could have left our bags to collect later but we were due to leave Canterbury. It was quiet at night despite warnings of noise on the website. It is very convenient for the City, 5 minutes walk from both the Marlowe Theatre and the Cathedral. The rooms and decor are a little dated but perfectly fine for a short stay.
