Nice comfortable stay. Breakfast was average no complaints. Room was comfortable and location was great. Although good for us a disability would make this difficult as the hotel is at the top of a steep hill. But overall it was really nice for us.

Second time staying here. Stayed in same room 110 which is one of the biggest and great views over the lake. The room is big so can stretch out. Only down side was a shelf to put your clothes but it was fine. Nespresso coffee machine in room. All facilities lovely and staff all great. Couple bits a little dated and still needs tidying up but nothing to worry about. Great location hotel and ample parking. Look forward to stay again in same room which we like for the space and views.

We had an absolutely amazing stay at this property. The staff were so helpful and polite, they took fantastic care of us. The hotel and surrounding area were beautiful and well kept, the rooms were comfortable with plenty of space and accessible showers. Breakfast was included with the stay and was a delicious buffet, and dinner in the restaurant was fantastic. When we return to Windermere we will absolutely be coming back to stay here again.

We paid extra for a premium room and having been to this hotel before we did not sleep in a premium room. More tired than before, something I over looked during winter paying a much lower price. in March a high price for a very tired hotel. The bed however was comfy but I’m not happy with the room we were given & what we paid for.

We stayed for 2 nights in January. The hotel is very stylish and well equipped. Great location near bars and restaurants although the uphill walk after a few maybe a decision breaker! Staff are very friendly and helpful. Our only gripes are the room we stayed in (with balcony view) was very cold. We had to ask for an electric heater to supplement the built in heating. Also we could here the music and noise from the bar (directly below) so if that's an issue don't choose the balcony view rooms. Otherwise a great stay!

From the outside hotel looks amazing and same for the bar area, then you walk to the back where rooms are and it’s in need of a face lift, carpets are worn and dirty and paint work needs a freshen up and the final touches in areas like the bathroom were sealant has been used looked like done via a novice, I go to lots of hotels around the lakes and for the money for 1 night expect more for my money it’s these little touches that can ruin the break away

Ro Hotel not our usual type of hotel, found it a little too corporate for our liking so only for that reason we wouldn’t stay again. Very clean and excellent choice for breakfasts. Very noisy on late evenings as our room faced the entrance/exit and car park; room very small and a little claustrophobic. Area of corridor on ground floor smelt musty from ceiling leaks, a few mop buckets around catching the rain. We didn’t use facilities on evenings so can’t comment on service or facilities available.

The Ro hotel was situated close to the centre of Bowness and was clean and obviously fairly recently been repainted. condition was in general good although the carpets looked like they needed replacing. The rooms were comfortable and the food was good. Drinks were a little on the expensive side and I was unhappy having to pay for car parking at the hotel when we were staying there. However we had a good trip and stay.

Hotel is looking tired. Chipped paint, marks on all the walls. Smells of dampness and flickering lights in hallway. Breakfast has gone down hill from previous stay. At 8.30 am it was barely warm. Previous day very little left at 9.30. Came back from a walk around 1.30 and the excuse for no glasses at the bar for water was ‘clearing up after breakfast’! Disappointed as standards have definitely slipped and no longer value for money

The hotel was okay and that’s all I can say. The breakfast was not good and the room a bit cramped. Air conditioning did not work very well and the quilt on the bed was perfect for a very cold winter. The price for one night was, £261 and I then had to pay an extra £10 for parking. Was it worth the money and would we go back. No and No, sorry.

Great hotel on lake Windermere - convenient to shopping and dining options plus walkable to the boats that taxi around the lake. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Room was ok and had the amenities we needed. Enjoyed the daily breakfast to gear you up for whatever walk or attraction you pursued that day.

Not good at all. The hotel require major improvement work despite it saying it’s had that! Our superior room with lake view was not clean and the shower tray had terrible mould around it. We were offered a change of room. The evening meal was very poor, barely warm and lower than average quality. We were offered a 50% reduction and given an apology. ASKED TO PAY £5 TO PARK YOUR CAR OVERNIGHT IN THE HOTEL CAR PARK & TO HAVE TO SQUEEZE IT UP AGAINST A WALL AS NO AVAILABLE SPACE IS DISGRACEFUL

Worst was receiving parking citation after paying for parking at this hotel. Truly terrible way of treating your customers. No ventilation or cooling of any kind in room on first floor. Window opened about an inch. I will admit the views were nice, but it'd be the same everywhere else.

Great staff, great views but if your walking into town be prepared to walk back up a big hill. Lovely breakfast. Our room was basic but it was the cheapest, damp smell down our corridor, corridor lights didnt stop flickering and room was far too hot in the night. The downstairs area is really nice especially at night time all lit up.

Great stay. Staff were all friendly and excellent, room was comfy, spotless. Using the cast to tv was very easy (other hotels take note, this is how it should be done). Further to other reviews, the hotel is on a bit of a hill so if you're compromised in your walking it may be a struggle and it could get a bit wearing if I was there for a week but it was fine for the weekend. Breakfast was also great although maybe bigger plates would stop even a couple of items feeling crammed in. The room wasn't the quietest, could hear a lot when the footfall was high so the room could have done with some excluders just to cover the gaps below the door to deaden the noise a bit but that's being really picky. A great stay and would definitely stay again.

Room 128 had no view at all just a stone wall 2ft in front of window. There was bird netting between outside wall and bedroom window. There where Pigeons flying inside netting and birds where on window sill cooing all night long. Which kept us awake all night. This needs to be addressed by management.

There was a noise all night from a fan or ac unit. The breakfast selection was good but most of it was only warm, not hot. Nice hotel but let down by a couple of small things, would stay again but would have to be a different room.

The hotel needs some repairs and cleaning, dirty carpet everywhere and poor general maintenance, ie painting and damp. It very much felt like the hotel was trying too save money everywhere. One towel in the bathroom, very cheap loo paper. I also be had to ask for the aircon/heating to be turned on even though it looked like it was on in the room!

We really enjoyed a 5 night stay in the Ro Hotel, and would certainly recommend it and use again if we're in Bowness. The Hotel is clean, with welcoming, friendly staff. Our only criticisms were that the shower flooded the bathroom floor regardless of the towels used to stop water running out of the shower, and that the drinks prices are far higher than the Bowness and the surrounding area.

Very clean, nice staff, particularly the Colombian waitress at breakfast time. Lovely decor around the hotel. Very attractive room. Only negatives was that the sofa bed mattress was too thin and therefore extremely uncomfortable to sleep on. Like sleeping on hard springs. Breakfast time, we had to keep asking for pastries, could be waiting half an hour for them!
