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.

The hotel is in a great location and the solo member of staff is friendly and helpful and works hard. The hotel itself, however, is tired and poorly maintained. It was a cramped room, the shower was held up by a bit of plastic, and there was hardly any water from it. The bathroom was tiny. For a quick cheap night it’s passable, but any longer than that would not be recommended.

This property is perfectly located in the centre of Canterbury and extremely well priced. You are within walking distance of everything you want to visit. The rooms are small but adequate for a short stay. My only gripe is the low pressure on the shower. The breakfast was fine and certainly set us up for the day. Sanjeewa the host is a real pleasure. He was always available and was constantly checking that everything was okay. He is worked to the bone and is a real gem for the property owners.

The host Sanjeewa was welcoming, friendly and charming. My bed was comfortable and the facilities in my room were good, apart from the fact that I could not find a remote control for the TV, though this did not really matter to me. I had the only ground floor room, and although it faced out on to the street it was quiet and I was not disturbed. Breakfast, included in the price, was a typical continental one with a reasonable selection. There is no onsite parking, but you can stop briefly to unload your luggage, after which the proprietor will book you into a nearby ANPR car park at a special rate. Bars, restaurants and the magnificent Canterbury Cathdral are all within easy walking distance

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.

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.

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.

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 💯
