The lift in the hotel is getting refurbished, so out of use by residents. However, staff can operate the lift and so we didn't have to climb the stairs with our bags. Bit of a pain when entering and re-entering the hotel though, as staff not always available to man the lift. We stayed in one of the suites, and it was massive! Only £25 for the upgrade from a standard room and worth every penny. Massive comfy bed, really big room with two sash windows, a seating area and lots of storage space. Pillow quality could have been better, but we slept well. Bathroom was very dated, which was a shame, and the hot water was scaldingly hot from the outset. In fact, so hot, it was difficult to get a shower in the morning due to the water seeming unable to cool down to a reasonable temperature. Breakfast was really nice. Not a massive selection and no black pudding or mushrooms available, despite these being listed as part of breakfast. Ran out of coffee mugs and I had to go and find some myself. Staff were lovely and pleasant in the restaurant and we were really quite pleasantly surprised of the quality of the items that were there. There is parking in the hotel's car park at the rear, but it's on wasteland, so not very inviting and not secure. £15 seems a lot in Carlisle, particularly when the Rail Station Car Park next door only charges 50p more and is actually tarmaced. The hotel car park is open to non-residents too, so there's no guarantee of a space when you arrive. A discount for being a hotel guest would have been nice. Overall, this is a really nice hotel and I would definitely return again and recommend to others. Bang in the middle of town, but not any noticeable noise. Great staff, and you can see they're trying to modernise the hotel as the lobby and bar were lovely, modern and clean.

“Good Value Hotel”

Although very handy for the train station this probably isn't a plus as it's a noisy area which attracts a strange crowd outside ... The hotel itself is what you'd expect; the rooms are large, clean and well equipped. The staff try very hard at breakfast, and make it an enjoyable experience. Good v… lisää
