What guests think

Across recent reviews, Cumbria Park Hotel is praised for genuinely friendly, helpful staff, an excellent and varied breakfast, clean and comfortable rooms (some newly renovated), good value, and convenient location with free parking within walking distance of Carlisle’s centre.

Guests often enjoy the bar and dinners when available, though a few report no evening service at times and miss draught beers. Some rooms are small or dated, with occasional maintenance issues like weak shower pressure, TV reception problems, odours, or noise from the road or thin walls. Housekeeping is usually solid but inconsistencies and confusing self check-in are mentioned. Overall, it suits travellers seeking value, helpful service and easy access to the city.

I only stayed one night and was really pleased with my overall experience. Plenty of parking, a well appointed room with a good selection of TV channels, good WiFi, decent bed and a large selection of different options for breakfast. Service was a highlight with genuine friendliness from all staff.

The hotel restaurant is no longer open for evening meals, it is only used for breakfast which was unfortunate. There were other options for eating close to the hotel. The staff were very good and helpful.

Overall the hotel was a very comfortable stay, the only points i would make would be getting some beers on draught instead of bottle beer. And update the bathrooms slightly. But for price value for money.

Fantastic hotel, very centrally located within walking distance to the shops and parks. The staff are super friendly and helpful. We stayed in the suite which is very comfortable and clean. The shower is amazing and there is a tv with Netflix. Also the breakfast is very good with hot and cold food available. We loved the fact that there was a car park included which is brilliant if you are driving. We definitely would recommend this hotel if you’re visiting Carlisle or other surrounding areas.

On arrival I was greeted by a super friendly guy on the reception who welcomed me to the hotel and was really nice. After making myself comfortable in the room I decided to have a shower, which the bathroom was covered in mould, on the grout work and the sealant around the bath. For someone who suffers with asthma I didn’t want to spend much time in the bathroom. The bed was comfy enough and the pillows were better than most hotels I stay at. The cookies looked delicious also but I didn’t eat them as when I entered the room the window was wide open and there was a fly on the plate so I thought it was best not to eat the cookies, but the sentiment is great. I feel like signs should be put on the back of doors saying please do not slam doors on exit as the amount of people leaving early in the morning who were slamming their doors, I counted at least 7 door slams between 6 and 6:30am I would of liked a sleep in but this was cut short by the amount of inconsiderate guests! (Can’t be helped by the hotel) On exit of the hotel there’s a self check out screen which is a little long winded when in a hurry, especially when there’s staff behind the desk in the office having a chat and not helping guests.. all in all it was an okay stay but unfortunately I wouldn’t stay again until there are some improvements.

The room had a damp awful sewerage smell as soon as you walked in through the room. The carpet didnt look as if it had been hoovered and had debris on the floor. There was dirty tissues down the side of one of the beds. The shower barely worked and the television had so much dirty marks on it it was difficult to see.

I had a single room which was clean and comfortable with all the necessities. The staff were excellent warm, friendly and helpful. The breakfast was superb. Overall I was very happy with the hotel, it has a good sized car park in a good location and value for money compared to other hotels I have stayed in on previous visits to Carlisle and I will have no hesitation to stay again on my next visit.

, and have to say this hotel did not disappoint. Staff very friendly and welcoming from check in to breakfast in the morning and check out. They had a fan in the bedroom which came in very handy as it was an extremely warm day/night. Room was very clean and had a lovely touch with complimentary bottles of water and biscuits. Breakfast was everything you would look for in morning. Thank you for a lovely stay again. Will definitely be back next year!!

Loved the friendly & helpful staff, our only grip was the room was small and we could hear very clearly the next room. I was disappointed in the room size, we normally stay in a premier room at one of the premier inns in Carlisle for very similar cost.

We had trouble from the very start with our TV. It couldn't get many channels and poor reception. We informed staff who couldn't resolve the issue so we moved to another room with the same issues so we moved yet again. This room was an upgrade and was nice but one of the tvs hd similar issues. Management informed. It did put a dampner on our stay.

Service was good and staff were friendly, the room was clean and tidy but needs attention. The mattress was old and needs replacing, the springs sunk as soon as you got in and there was a big lump in the middle of the bed. The bathroom floor had tears in the lino, screws visible where the subfloor was rotting and the shower leaked reducing the pressure leaving it a bit more than a dribble. Again, if it wasn’t for the staff, there wouldn’t be much of a reason to visit.

I stayed for one quick night at this hotel and I was blown away by the hospitality and helpfulness. I was down in thar area competing in a sports event and the reception staff on the night I arrived and the morning I left could not have been better. There was obvious communication between staff members which often is lost in the big chain hotels these days. Would love to return and sample the restaurant food and actually sit for breakfast.

I was staying in the hotel whilst my dad was in a nearby hospital having experienced a stroke. The staff went above and beyond and were very flexible about extending my stay and letting me work in the function room etc. The local area is also very nice especially the fish and chip shop and Indian restaurant and pub across the road.

Ideal location with a short 15 minute walk over the river into the city. Extremely clean, I did and out, and plenty of free parking. Staff all friendly with a nice bar area just off reception. We had the family room which was spacious and quiet. Good shower with hairdryer,iron and board in the room. Nice welcome gifts which our daughter loved. Breakfast was buffet English breakfast and was absolutely beautiful. All high quality ingredients from the hit selection to the pastries and condiments. If you are going to Carlisle, which surprised us in its heritage, shopping, pubs and overall feel, this is a great place to stay.
