Reviews of The Roadhouse describe a budget, centrally located stay with friendly staff but frequent complaints about cleanliness, noticeable smoke smells, and significant noise from the busy road and on-site entertainment that can disrupt sleep.
Facilities are limited, with the bar sometimes closed, karaoke on certain nights, and mixed experiences with parking access and condition. Rooms are dated and basic, with maintenance niggles and variable sizes, though many guests found the beds comfortable. Overall, expect a low-cost, no-frills base close to town, best for unfussy travellers who can handle basic facilities and uneven standards.

Parking is available and sometimes described as secure, but access/signage can be confusing and the car park condition drew complaints. The bar was closed during some stays, and karaoke nights occur.

Really confusing how to get to the car park. The front desk weren’t too helpful. The bar is not open- doesn’t reopen for 2 weeks. That was disappointing as no mention of this. Very dingy. No toilet roll or handsoap but had shower gel. Beds were actually quite comfy but marks on the sheets. What do you expect for £50 a night though.

A reasonable price and close to the city so you can walk there if you are reasonably fit. Good that it has a car park. The guy at check-in was friendly and helpful. The room was ok if quite dated but there is a lack of attention to cleaning properly. The TV stand was thick with dust and the shower did not look good with the shower head and sealant looking dirty and the shower door not working properly. There were also black marks on one of the towels. But at least the bed was clean. A room facing the main road is quite noisy because it is quite busy but not much can be done about that.

If you're on a late night out with friends and need a hotel to stay at, this place works well. However, if you wish for an early night, make sure your stay doesn't clash with karaoke night otherwise the minimal noise reduction to your room may deny you of that if you don't have suitable headphones. Otherwise good stay.

Our family of five stayed in a family suite for two nights. We were very disappointed in the cleanliness and shape of the room. There were stains on the sheets and curtains, and the carpet and some of the bedding were old and in poor shape. The bathroom was not clean with mildew in the shower, gum and dirt on the floor, cobwebs, etc. There was also mouse poop in the dresser drawers. Both nights we were awakened around 4:00 am in the morning- once by someone being on the phone talking very loudly and another by a group of people coming in with their luggage and going upstairs. The only reason we did not leave was we had had a hard time finding a room available in the area for that weekend because it is busy tour season.

The property was reasonably priced. Comfortable beds, however, it was noisy at night and dust in the property. I found rubbish under the bed from previous customer. There was dust on the door and cobwebs by the front door. It was close to Town, Mcdonalds and Asda, this came in handy to buy snacks:)

The many homeless people in Carlisle would reject a free stay here. From the horrific situation in the bathroom to the year out of date coffee this was a disaster. Stains on every wall and ceiling. Stains on the bed, the towels, the carpet, the shower etc. This hellhole should not be booked. You have been warned.

Basic hotel on main road which is very busy. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good. Unfortunately due to the price we had a lot of late night disturbance from other rooms. Room itself although advertised as superior king was very small and bed was against one wall which made it difficult for us. You get what you pay for especially in August.

Toilet didn’t flush which was reported to house keepers the following morning due to a late check in the night before, we were out all day the following day to find that it hadn’t been fixed or a room swap offered. Also reported no hand soap and no shower gel /shampoo apart from enough for myself to just about wash my hair. This wasn’t resolved either. The whole of the floor the room was on smelled of smoke, a no smoking rule clearly not ever well enforced by the fact we were awoken to fire alarms going off. However, apart from the toilet not working and there being a faint smell of urine in the bathroom because of this and being unable to shower the first evrning, the bed was relatively comfortable, the room was dated but clean and the room was a good temperature. You get what you pay for just feel for the relative small size of the issues I had in terms of the mm being resolved could’ve made an okay stay a good one

Really confusing how to get to the car park. The front desk weren’t too helpful. The bar is not open- doesn’t reopen for 2 weeks. That was disappointing as no mention of this. Very dingy. No toilet roll or handsoap but had shower gel. Beds were actually quite comfy but marks on the sheets. What do you expect for £50 a night though.

Terrible check-in. I was handed the key and pointed to an upstairs direction where rooms are like in a maze. Room 19 and 18 are the worse sign posted to find because you have to go through a sign saying only 9-11. I am not sure if I was entitled to a breakfast. Shocking! I am still wondering if Expedia could let people know that b&b do not offer breakfast, like in this case.

A reasonable price and close to the city so you can walk there if you are reasonably fit. Good that it has a car park. The guy at check-in was friendly and helpful. The room was ok if quite dated but there is a lack of attention to cleaning properly. The TV stand was thick with dust and the shower did not look good with the shower head and sealant looking dirty and the shower door not working properly. There were also black marks on one of the towels. But at least the bed was clean. A room facing the main road is quite noisy because it is quite busy but not much can be done about that.

The property was reasonably priced. Comfortable beds, however, it was noisy at night and dust in the property. I found rubbish under the bed from previous customer. There was dust on the door and cobwebs by the front door. It was close to Town, Mcdonalds and Asda, this came in handy to buy snacks:)

location is good about 12 to 15 mins walk from train station and easy to find straight down Botchergate, and easy to walk to the main square with lots of bars and eateries, room was fine with en suite bathroom , good shower, fresh towels and tea making facilities, good value in comparison to other places, if staying in Carlisle again i would try to stay here

For what we paid it was just what we wanted with safe parking and a short walk to Botchergate.

There was a lot of street noise from cars and people until late, the shower was temperamental and there was no soap - the soap dispenser by the basin was completely missing and the one in the shower was empty. The breakfast was basic but tasty.

Basic hotel on main road which is very busy. Staff were friendly and breakfast was good. Unfortunately due to the price we had a lot of late night disturbance from other rooms. Room itself although advertised as superior king was very small and bed was against one wall which made it difficult for us. You get what you pay for especially in August.

What I expected for the price. Ensuite Double room on ground floor. Comfy bed. Bathroom needs a little attention. Great check-in checkout experience.

The room was a good size for a single room with en-suite. The decor was tired but ok. The room was clean except for several stains on the carpet which some good carpet cleaner ought to be able to sort out. I got the room for a reduced price on Hotels.com so it was acceptable value for money. I would not have said that if I had paid the full price.

Walking up to the hotel you have to wade through broken bottles and cans. The bar is ok, but the room was filthy, with heavily stained carpets and no curtains. The sash window didn't open so the urine smell never left... I'm not sure the sheets and duvet cover had ever been cleaned and the headboard (complete with hole) fell off halfway through the night. The hole next to the bed had a hole as well, I'm not sure if this was a feature... The shower was passable, although I couldn't stand up to pee as the sloping roof was directly above the toilet.
