Great staff. Hallway smelled like cat pee. Rooms were comfortable and relatively clean but in disrepair. Parking is great. Neighborhood is a bit seedy party town. Lots of excellent food options and pubs steps away from hotel.

Reception staff very friendly and helpful. Family room was spacious and excellently cleaned. For the price it was very reasonable. 2 minutes to railway station , and bars and eating houses. An excellent location for all amenities. Take into consideration that this building is very old but kept to good standard . Loads and loads of towels for one night stay. If in Carlisle again I would definitely stay here everything you need on the doorstep
