The location in terms of proximity to the centre of Canterbury was great and the street where the accommodation is located is really cool. The staff member on shift (Sanjeewa) was really nice and I couldn’t fault him. There was a lot of street noise outside throughout the night and this seemed to be work related, rather than members of the public. Whilst I can’t blame this on the hotel, the original window was broken and stuck in an open position and this probably didn’t help. The room was described as a deluxe king size room. I don’t think two single mattresses, with a gap down the middle is quite the same and this was irritating. Also, the shower was below standard. It had very little water coming out of the head and no attachment for the hose and so I had to hold it throughout the shower. I think this is pretty poor and could easily be rectified.

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 The hotel was slightly outdated and could do with some upgrading, the shower has no attachment, breakfast was basic but plentiful, the room itself could have done with modernising however it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.

Although the property is a little old and tired, it was great for an overnight stay. Manager was lovely and breakfast; continental style and plentiful. Really close to Cathedral and other local attractions. For those with mobility issues there were a couple of steep staircases to climb to get to upper floor rooms. Fans were provided, but rooms were still stuffy, not too much of a problem if you like to be warm like me - it was a warm August night. No on-site parking, you park in a public car park about 8 mins away and it costs £15 via the hotel for 24 hours. Make sure that you keep receipt for this. Council empty bins at 6:30am on Monday morning. This is not a hotel issue, just to let light sleepers know, it happens all over the city. Would go back in the future if in the area.

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 It is a bit outdated and in need of some small repairs but totally worth the money because it's clean, good bedsheets and towels, spacious, and offers a good car park deal.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.

This is an old building but has been made the best of & was v clean. Set in the centre of Canterbury within a stone's throw of the main areas. There are two main drawbacks. 1 There is no car parking at all as it is set in a no through narrow street. Car parking is offered & they will book it for you.It is charged per 24hrs & is a 10min walk away. The other is that breakfast is only Continental although nicely set out.

The staff was VERY kind & helpful. Dark, narrow stairs & very small room. Fridge in room, uncomfortable bed, no A/C but given fan. Had to have window open, woken up by sun rising at 4:20am and garbage man emptying glass at 5:15am. No hand towel or washcloth in bathroom. No shampoo only shower get that could be used on hair. Breakfast provided & appreciated. Staff worried we didn't eat enough, very kind. Offered to hold our luggage. Won't stay again.

Sanjeev was kind, present and available. While the room was clean, the mattresses were not comfortable. Be mindful of packing small and not taking full suitcases up 3 flights of winding stairs. Otherwise a clean place to stay in Canterbury.

Read the reviews
Absolutely terrible, we didn't stay the night. The hotel had more creaks than a haunted house. The smell of old was a hell no, it could of been death... we couldn't be sure. We didn't hang around for too long before ordering a stay at the Premier Inn a little further up the road. There was a deep dark red/brown colour on the net curtains, we were 100% that was blood. The toilet was small and cramped, we believe people missed the toilet and aimed for the floor as the stench was unbearable. Even to stay 10 minutes was unbelievable, my partner even sprayed her perfume around the room but the bad odour was over powering the stench. We had to make up an excuse just to leave the hotel. I paid for the death room for about £70, non refundable.... they can use that money for the demolition needed. I paid £119 for Premier Inn and that included all you can eat breakfast, a no brainer. Stay away from this poor b&b, not worth your hard earned cash. 3 Stars?? Were they on their last breath???
