Whilst we had the largest room in the hotel, it was certainly not well planned nor furnished. It was impossible to obtain a reasonable temperature for the shower. The floor was quite simply the noisest I had ever been in, my walk from the bed to the bathroom in the early hours woke my wife up. The plated breakfast was fine and next door to one of the finest examples of tiled ceilings and fireplaces I have ever seen, well worthy of the National Trust let alone a hotel. Difficult to locate the parking but at least it was free.

The property is in need of maintenance and an upgrade. It doesn’t feel welcoming upon entrance and there’s no staff on site overnight. Our shower wasn’t working. If you’re not particular about comfort and simply want a bed next to the train station, you’ll be fine. But otherwise I would suggest another hotel.

‘Free car parking’ was taken up by 7 maintenance vans parked all over the place. Room was exceptionally hot and the shower was scalding hot. TV also kept coming randomly during the middle of the night. Phone didn’t work to call reception. Cleaners shouting in the hall from 7.30am. Cleaners didn’t make up bed just emptied bin. Ceiling covered in cracks and cobwebs and rain dripping on me whilst I checked in at reception

parking is not obvious/ easy to find - we needed to be talked in by an excellent patient receptionist. very small grassy corner of the car park behind some skips was the only place our dog wanted to 'go'. breakfast was OK, thankfully freshly cooked rather than under heaters. the hotel must have been very grand back in the day, city centre location. hence very loud youths until well after midnight, and this was a midweek stay. after years of going past Carlisle on the M6, I finally found out it's west rather than east of the motorway! probably wouldn't return.

We loved that the hotel had parking. The bed was very comfortable and it was surprisingly quiet considering it's location. Bryony on reception was very helpful when we arrived. We will stay again when I visit relatives in the area.

Can't Fault It For The Price!
It's an old building so yes you guessed it some things in there may well be old! Consider the Premier Inn and other hotels in the area were around double the price then this place offered good value for money and is very central and convenient, free parking too which is a bonus.

Great spot in the city, my wife and I only stayed the night but it was a good area to rest in. Room was a bit dusty so heads up if you have any allergies. Noise was to be in expected in that area, the breakfast was great and made the stay definitely worth while for the price.

Happy to stay again
Very central for train station and easy access to city centre. Booked a triple room for myself and 2 friends to visit Cumbria Pride. The hotel was the cheapest available which initially concerned me however all concerns were gone after arriving. Ample car parking available, friendly staff and room was comfortable and clean. My only comment is that the bathroom could benefit from a little refurb to be more appeasing to guests expectations and room didn't get replenished during our stay Would definitely book here if visiting again
