A great location in the centre of Canterbury. The owner is most welcoming and kind. The rooms are comfortable and clean. Breakfast is continental with lots of choice to eat in or take away. I recommend this property for a value for money city stay

Great location in the heart of the town. Quirky little hotel with good continental breakfast. Good value. Thank you Sanjeev for making me feel welcome and being very helpful. I would stay there again.
The place was good for location. But you do have to pay for parking at £15 pound a day. The saff member sanjeewa greyfhavs was friendly and helpful.

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.

Excellent breakfast, very clean and cosy rooms. Very calm location but really close to the main street with a lot of restaurants, pubs and shops. Sanjeewa was very kind and helpful in every possible way. We are really happy with our stay.
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.
We had family room in this property. Very dated and basic. Bathroom very tired and weak shower. If you about basic sleep there it was ok.

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.
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.
I stayed overnight at Greyfriars Lodge during the recent hot weather. There were no fans or air conditioning in the room, so I don't think that I would recommend staying here over summer. I kept the bedroom window open for the fresh air, but this meant that the road noise from the street was louder.
The continental breakfast was available from 8-9am, but as the food was not set up in advance, it is advisable to arrive around 8.15 rather than 8am.
For what we paid the hotel was good! Right next to the city center. Breakfast was basic but good and the worker ensured that it was constantly stocked up! Great for a couple of nights :)
The host was incredibly friendly and helpful, and all the other guests were clearly having a good time because we all wound up chatting over breakfast! Lovely!
