Dirty, uncomfortable, cold (no choice to put heating on) tv didn’t work. Shower didn’t work properly. Wouldn’t stay here again. Cheap enough but you literally pay for a dirty mattress and a tea towel for a pillow.

Overnight Stay

Great location, central to the lively city centre and on the doorstep of the railway station. Although there's a busy night-time economy all around the hotel, we didn't experience and noise disturbance.

I regret staying at this hotel. The stairs are carpeted and in need of a wash and vacuum.Floors are uneven so wearing heels is a hazard here. The double room had wall paper peeling off, the carpet was dirty, windows rusty and the bathrooms ceiling was flaking off in chunks and mouldy wood.

Staff were very nice and polite, lift was a bit intermittent and I ended up having to walk up 3 flights. Don’t like the 3rd floor with sloped ceilings and having to bend down as I have a bad back. Otherwise we enjoyed our stay

Acceptable for the price.

Bearing ion mind that is a 2 star hotel and exceptionally well priced, I would say my stay was closer to 3 stars than 2. The lift was not working on arrival and I had to climb to the 3rd floor with my suitcase and backpack. I have a major health issue and this was tough. The hotel is generally run down and shabby, but the staff are pleasant and the breakfast was excellent. Housekeeping was quite poor and only the bare minimum was done. The room was comfortable and there was plenty of tea, coffe milk, etc.

This is an old style hotel with huge public spaces and big staircases but the rooms are very comfortably equipped. Comfortable bed, tea and coffee maker, TV with a big bathroom with bath and shower. Although it's in the centre of town next to the bars and nightlife, I had a comfortable quiet night because the building is stone and well insulated. It's 100m from the railway station at the top of the strip which has bars and restaurants - it has it's own bar and restaurant as well. It was also a great price and one of the cheapest in Carlisle. A really good price for a really good hotel.
