Top Kendal Hotel Reviews

The Lakeland Kendal Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

The Lakeland Kendal Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW

10/10 Excellent
"Its an older hotel - although updated a certain amount (Bathroom looked fairly new) - good location closed to the town centre, decent sized rooms, staff were great, and the breakfast was very good! No on-site parking, but there are several close by car parks (they've got the information at reception). Pro tip - The Sandes Avenue carpark a few mins walk away is only £1.50 for the entire day (If you buy a ticket after the charging period ends at 6pm it'll be good for the entire next day) Wifi worked, but was a bit patchy in our room - they could probably do with a few more access points. Overall we had a good stay, and I'd come back again - especially if they add some more Wifi access points so its a strong signal everywhere!"
