Lovely property, convenient location, renovated nicely, comfortable clean and compact, exactly what we needed. Only meet one staff member, but he was polite, helpful and informative. Minor details like taps a bit loose and TV remote needed new batteries could do with attention, but no big deal. Nice range of breakfast items, nice dining room. Listing on Expedia said the hotel had parking which wasn't true but the local multi storey did the job

AVOID. Generally tired, old and run down. Half expected this for the price so not that bothered about that. the location was good. The problem.... bedbugs. Lots of the horrible little things. We've videos of them all around the room and unfortunately we didn't realise until the morning. It's clear there's been an infestation for some time - there's actually reviews that we missed discussing this. It's clear though that this recent infestation has also been going on for a while... pale grey dried blood stains were visible on virtually all linen (easy to see when you look for it). The hotel has ignored all attempts to discuss this issue.

The people were so nice and were always cleaning, but the toilet had some kind of a pump on it. When you flushed it would add water and then make an ungodly noise. This always made me jump. Worse if you used the toilet at night, with a full badder, the pump would activate. OH MY!

Great location, decent value, get what you pay for

Great location. Just off high street, about 6/7 minute walk from either station, right next to Sainsburys express, and loads of restaurants bars etc Very dated interior, doesnt look like its had an upgrade since the 90s, and could do with a renovation, carpets a bit frayed etc. However, having said that, was clean, the owner was charming, and considering the location is very good value.

What a terrible experience

It was such a shame that we stayed in this hotel. I can not even imagine how they managed to advertise on Hotels.com Unfortunately I can not find any positive things about our stay. Even though their staff tried their hardest, I can not give more than half a star.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
For every thing that works well there's some other thing that doesn't, Room 9 has a new basin and loo but a shower with a door that's difficult to open. Plenty of shampoo and handwash but no general purpose soap or shower gel - you have to keep asking for things that should be there already. Rooms are not being checked or serviced, so the notice about hanging towels you don't want changed is pointless. Breakfast choices are erratic - brown bread and yoghurt on some days, not on others, and basics like coffee arriving late. The Lodge is not recommended to those with their own transport or who can't manage stairs as there is no lift. It generally appears to be lacking investment and truly dedicated staff.

Sanjeewa was a very welcoming host and very kind. We could have left our bags to collect later but we were due to leave Canterbury. It was quiet at night despite warnings of noise on the website. It is very convenient for the City, 5 minutes walk from both the Marlowe Theatre and the Cathedral. The rooms and decor are a little dated but perfectly fine for a short stay.
