“Greyfriars Lodge offers a prime location in Canterbury, steps from the cathedral and other historic sites. While some aspects show their age, I think the hotel's 12th-century chapel and gardens provide a unique sense of place and tranquility. For visitors prioritizing location and affordability, this could be a good option, with free breakfast and comfortable beds, but be aware that some rooms may need some love.”
