Canterbury Hotel Guide - Fordwich Town Hall hotels in Canterbury, United Kingdom.

"First impressions were “oh, no!” Reception area seemed dark and claustrophobic and the long walk to the room was almost depressing. The room seemed pretty dated, but it was immaculately clean. The super king size bed was super comfortable, and despite being part of a busy pub/restaurant in was incredibly quiet. Bathroom was so clean it almost sparkled! The breakfast was made to order and really tasty. The walk into town was easy and leads through the park which is beautiful. Would happily stay again if in the area "

"Perfect location. Staff were incredibly helpful and breakfast was wonderful. Would stay here again."

"Comfy bed, nice breakfast friendly staff and free parking available nearby "

"Room was ok. * Could have been cleaner (cobwebs on the light shades) * No bottled water in the room. * Only two teabags / no biscuits (like other hotels) Breakfast was ok * Buffet service - limited selection / machine coffee Desk staff - friendly and helpful"

"This was our 5th stay at this wonderful hotel, I cannot praise it enough, I just don't see a negative"

"Lovely breakfasts that catered for my changes without any problem. The staff provided good directions to our stay when we arrived on the other side of town. Parking was great and the location perfext"

"Generally the standard of hygiene could be improved dramatically , just very dusty and dirty in certain areas. They just need to hoover the carpet more. We had a blocked sink and the water wasn’t very warm despite setting to maximum. I understand other guests had similar issues. Positives were - very friendly staff, comfy bed and oreo snacks were nice"

"Stayed here for one night (24/4/26). It was good value for money as far as I’m concerned. The Greyfriars Lodge is very old but it’s clean. We were very happy with the location. 10 min walk from Canterbury East Station. 4 min walk to Marlowe Theatre the main reason we came to Canterbury. 4 min walk to Butter Market and the Cathedral. The room we had was spacious and the staff very welcoming (Sanjeewa). If you’re looking for modern place to stay then this Lodge isn’t for you. We like to support small businesses."

"When we arrived to check in the room was not ready. Turns out they were not even aware of our booking until we showed it to them. We then had to wait two hours whilst the owner came to the property to get the room ready. Waiting outside in the side proved to be a disaster as their outdoor table and chair was covered in a black bitumen type substance that got all over the bottom of my trousers and completely ruined them. When we did get into the room the large curved screen TV proved to be utterly useless at it did not receive any signal and as there was no wifi either it was nothing more than a black wall decoration. The kettle did not work, even going so far as to turn itself on and off at random and the microwave was so complicated I was unable to boil water to make a cup of tea. Not that they provided any tea bags so it was just I well I had brought my own. The room itself was recently decorated and in good order and could have been very pleasant had anything worked as it should. The room overlooks a main road and as there are no net curtains any and all passers by have a clear and uninterrupted view into the room so if you want any privacy at all you have to shut the curtains. The noise, OMG, it went on pretty much all night due to the traffic on the main road. No chance of sleeping at all. My written complaint was completely ignored and I received no reply to it whatsoever. Unfortunately I would have to recommend that you avoid this place at all costs."
