Only desperate travelers need apply
Duvet covers stained, walls had food splashed on them, none of the furnishings had been updated for decades, the beds needed new mattresses, the shower gave either very hot or very cold water…

The host Sanjeewa was really sweet and made sure our stay was very comfortable, the bedding and towels were clean and the rooms tidy, the only negative was the smell of damp in the bathroom when you opened the shower door but the water was very hot and I had a lovely shower.

Good location
This place is in a great location for the town and where we were headed. The room was described as premium twin room but unfortunately i would remove the word premium, it needs a lot more work. But for what we needed, a bed near to the town it was OK. Bed was comfy but if i can suggest anything it would be to look at things like curtains (ours were hanging off the window) general cleanliness dust and cobwebs...and a paint job. But our host / manager Sanjeewa was great, very friendly and even extended the breakfast times as it was after NYE. He was very welcoming, we would stay here again but that would be just for location.

Dated but clean and comfy!
A bit dated and tatty in places and breakfast is very basic. But a very comfy bed with clean crisp sheets and towels. Good nights sleep at the back of the property on the 2nd floor. Guy who checked us in was friendly and helpful. Overall it isn’t plush but great location and things that matter are there.

Stay at Greyfriars Lodge
We arrived at Greyfriars Lodge and was met by Mr Sanjeewa who was polite and friendly. During our stay, he responded to our request for shower gels , towels among other things quickly. Breakfast was continental and Sanjeewa was was attentive. Location is convenient and near to town centre. Will come back to stay at this hotel again if we visit Canterbury again. LIM & Family.

Ideal for exploring
Location was perfect! The hotel was slightly outdated and could do with some upgrading, the shower has no attachment, breakfast was basic but plentiful, the room itself could have done with modernising however it was large and the bed was comfortable. Manager was lovely very accommodating looking after luggage until we was ready to go home. Ideal if your looking for something affordable as a base to explore from.

Nice place. Friendly services.
The hotel is very nice and within 5 minutes walk of the centre. Sanjeewa was very nice. The continental breakfasts was good, plenty of breads, crumpets, cheese, ham and salami, etc. The only bit of problem for us was that the room we were in, on the top floor, the wifi was extremely weak. We have to move around the room to find a connection near the door. Obviously we can't stay at the door all night so had to use our mobile data. Like some other reviews on here says, there's NO onsite parking despite whatever they advertise as. You can park in a car park abouts 8-10 minutes walk way for 15 pounds a day or find some on street parking further out.

Glad we found it.
The best thing about this visit was the outstanding service of Mr Sanjeewa. His willingness to go above and beyond what was expected of him was surprising and refreshing. Another great plus of this lodge is its location. It is a bit outdated and in need of some small repairs but totally worth the money because it's clean, good bedsheets and towels, spacious, and offers a good car park deal. We were very happy with our stay. Thank you Sanjeewa for making it so pleasant.

It was a lovely old building and quite basic in terms of amenities but the best value for money if you want to stay in the city centre and have shops and pubs immediately around in Canterbury. Would definitely stay again when on a budget!
