We were getting an early train from Carlisle and wanted to stay close to the station the night before. This hotel is literally across the road. We had a double bed with extra single bed room for 3 of us at a total of £42. Overall the hotel is a bit dated, but beds were comfy and it was handy for plenty of restaurants and bars the night before. Breakfast started at 7am after we left, so I can't comment on it. But there was a Costa across the road which opens at 6am. Staff on check in and check out we're lovely and friendly. We had a great night's sleep and were ready for the journey the next day. Would absolutely stay here again Great value for what we paid.

Whilst previous reviews are correct in that the hotel is "tired" that aside the room facilities were fine, the shower was good, a switch next to the bed to switch off the main light (often there isnt one), adequate lighting and adjustable heating, tea coffee and a kettle and a comfy bed with 2 decent pillows so all round very good value for its position in Carlisle. Defo use again if in area.

Liked: Cleanliness
The room could do wish a refresh, but for the price, it was acceptable. The bed was comfortable, but the bedroom door was very heavy to open, and I couldn't understand why the main bedroom light switch was on the wall behind the door, which when first entering the room you can't see because the door is in the way. Staff were lovely but the lift wasn't working. Good location, close to the train station and town.
