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.
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.
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!
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.
Staff were very friendly and the location is central.

Liked: Cleanliness
Room was clean but small and dated. Had to fill the kettle with water in a mug due to the sink being very small.
Breakfast fine, and the owner very nice.
Sanjeewa worked extremely hard to make our stay comfortable and enjoyable. The room was clean, as was the bed and linen. Breakfast was adequate, but would have liked a croissant.
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.

A clean bed and on suite. Walking distance to the Cathedral and most Canterbury attractions.
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 💯
