Good central location in Carlisle, but looking tired at the edges. Dog friendly bedrooms. Our small double was a suitable description but perfectly adequate for a two night stay. Bathroom had a good shower over the bath and the bed comfortable. A decent breakfast was served with a good range of cooked items at the buffet.

Though the hotel was described as dog friendly, for which a charge is made, they were not allowed in the dining or breakfast room! Either you are dog friendly or you’re not! Coffee at breakfast was like dishwasher!

Central location, pleasant helpful and considerate staff, The style of the Edwardian room for breakfast , good quality breakfast , The Mitre bar available all day for drinks and snacks /light meals. Room very comfortable and well appointed

Dining menu not varied enough … food good and well presented

Room was great, food excellent, staff superb.

Leaving.

The staff are amazing friendly and very helpful. We were allowed to book in earlier as our train got us in @ 10.10 am from Liverpool.

Great location, car parking, breakfast and this time I went for 'executive single'. Much bigger room and bed. Reception Staff helpful re forgotten phone charger.

Room was cold in the night and duvet very thin. No blanket in wardrobe. Shower over bath difficult to operate.

It’s dining room pool it’s grandeur!!

The bed was very uncomfortable

The comfort and cleanliness of hotel. Excellent service and friendly staff with delicious well prepared breakfast.

Dry attentive staff. Good food

Location cleanliness

Great location, walked out the door into shopping area with tourist areas a few minutes walk away. Parking at rear of property

Hotel needed a face-lift, rooms and decor a bit tired looking with an ancient rickety lift

The bathroom looked fairly new and the shower was excellent. The bed was comfortable and the room was quiet. A good amount of tea and coffee sachets were provided. Breakfast was very nice and the room it was held in was nicely decorated. The general feel of the hotel is nice, giving a sense of the building's history, reception is especially nice. The location is excellent, only a few minutes walk from the cathedral and castle.

The carpet looked a bit stained and grubby, same with the chair by the desk. The thin curtain behind the main set had a dark mark on it too. There was a hole in the tiles around the bath and the toilet was a pain to flush. The door to the room was a little stiff to open. The decor was very dated, felt like stepping into the 1950s. The vessel containing the tea and coffee needs to be cleaned, as does the bottom of the kettle and the draw it is kept in.

Location

Unfortunate that the pool was out of use Didn’t get informed beforehand

The location and staff and that there was a car park

The room looked a bit tired and the swimming pool was out of order

Comfy bed, space to move, and a cracking breakfast. Staff very helpful.

Just seems a little dated. Couldn't get in the car park.

Ideally situated. Lovely room, friendly staff and the food in the restaurant was lovely.

Old style gives the feel of the glamor of a bygone age. Stained glass, ornate details, and quirky twists and turns. I didn’t swim, but like that they also have an indoor pool. Good location right on the square.

Characterful and located in the centre of Carlisle’s historic old town. The swimming pool was an added bonus.

Hotel facilities friendly helpful smiling staff position of hotel spotless clean room really comfortable bed close to public transport train station etc excellent menu 👌 Thanks for making my stay a memorable one.

There's nothing not to dislike about the property

Great location for the graduation room could have been cleaner breakfast was fair staff friendly and really helpful

Our room could have been cleaner

Peace and quietness

Excellent breakfast, very pleasant staff

Location was in the city centre. And the breakfast was great. It is a building with history, with decorations bringing you back to the Victoria Era. Some facilities might not be that modern because of that but overall are all good.

The car park was right behind the hotel but takes 6 mins extra drive to finally find it. And they need to have staff open the gate for you every time you leave/return. But the staff was timely on that. If you travel by car, make sure to ask the staff to give you the address of the car park instead of navigating to the front door.

Location was perfect and on site parking a plus.

Just looking a little tired in places. Lift wasn’t working.

Everything

The bed was so comfy and the staff helpful and friendly.

We did not like having to wait to get into our room we arrived from 2pm and still didn't get into our room until 3-45/4pm the bathroom was a bit of a squeeze to get through the door could have done being a bit bigger and the fact that we couldn't get full use of the TV as the remote control was not working so that was a let down the duvet had a small hole in it. The lift also was needing fix car park could be doing with an uplift to make it easier for access to it and could be a lot bigger.

Ideal located when we come to stay with the market. Beds very comfy. Lovely hotel
