Carlisle Station Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

10/10 Excellent

"Right next to the station but not too noisy, large comfortable room, friendly staff, rather better than we expected. Lift wasn't working though."

Keswick Country House Hotel

6/10 Okay

"The room was clean, but overall the hotel felt dated and in need of refurbishment. There was noticeable wear and damage to the skirting boards and furnishings, and the same could be said for the third-floor corridors and the lift. While the bathroom was in slightly better condition, it still felt tired and could do with updating. There was also no fridge in the room. The walls were extremely thin, meaning noise from neighbouring rooms carried very easily. I’m not usually a light sleeper, but I can imagine this would be a significant issue for many guests. The bar area looked pleasant enough, although I didn’t use it myself. I also chose not to have breakfast, as the additional £18 per day for my two-night stay felt overpriced. On the positive side, the location is very good - it’s only a short walk into the town centre, with two lovely parks nearby. There’s also a scenic walk to Threlkeld along the converted railway line, which starts near the leisure centre just a couple of minutes away. The route is around 6.4 miles there and back. Overall, I feel I would have been better off spending a little extra to stay somewhere of a higher standard. Even a Premier Inn would likely have been an improvement. The main advantage of the Keswick Country House Hotel was the included on-site parking."

Ox Hotel Carlisle

6/10 Okay

"We entered the room there was no kettle,no bin then no remote control. We got down to breakfast for 8.10 am there were no sausages,eggs,or bacon we had to wait untill the receptionist went through to the chef and asked him to put food out. All of this would have been ok if the room had been safe it was a twin room with wooden floors the beds were on castors so when we went to sit on them the bed went flying across the room I landed on my rear end. So we pushed the beds to each end against the wall. So pillows up sat up leaned against the wall the bed shot forward one cup of tea all over me. So we had to put out a chair at the bottom of one bed and a bag at the bottom of the other to stop them moving. Next once beds moved it exposed open wires where new wireing had been done and no plate put on to cover the wires. Safety very poor."
