What guests think

At The Halston Carlisle, guests consistently praise the spacious, apartment-style rooms, friendly and helpful staff, central location near the train station, and the well-regarded on-site Penny Blue restaurant and bar, with thoughtful in-room touches like milk and crumpets.

Rooms are repeatedly described as very clean, comfortable, and well equipped for short or longer stays. Common drawbacks include occasional late-night noise from nearby bars or roads, warm rooms due to no air conditioning, and paid parking next door that some find pricey or busy. A few guests note some apartments are in separate buildings with stairs and that early check-in or value can be inconsistent. Overall, it suits travellers seeking a central, apartment-style stay with hotel conveniences.

The staff was very helpful, the food and the standard of accommodation were very good. A family member had a free upgrade so we were in adjoining rooms. The public off-street car park is adjacent to the hotel. Whilst it is not free the the hotel has arranged a 20% discount for its residents. For those travelling by train, the hotel is very close to the railway station.

First time we have stayed at the Halston and I don't think it will be the last . Staff were all very professional and polite , the accommodation was stunning , bed was really comfortable , and we even had complimentary crumpets . Parking on the car park next door , a bit pricy tbh 2 nights £32, but convenient .

Stayed for one night, on our way back down from Scotland. Had a lovely time here, and wished we could have stayed longer. Arrived around 6pm, very easy parking and checking in to our room. Then had a lovely meal downstairs in the Penny Blue restaurant attached to the hotel. Food was served very quickly, and the staff were attentive. The room itself was excellent, very spacious with a comfortable bed. It did get a little warm in the night for our taste, but they had a fan available which helped. It’s an apartment hotel, so came with a very well kitted out kitchen. Great for self catering, but we chose the breakfast restaurant downstairs. They did us a nice poached egg breakfast. Perfect location to explore the town centre, cathedral and castle. We checked out at 11, and went to explore the town. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful, no problem applying the parking discounts later in the day. Note that the car park can get very busy, it was pretty much full when we loaded our suitcases at 11, and when we left a few hours later.

The booking did not make it clear that the room was outside the hotel and that it would be up stairs without a lift. I am 78 years old, I had a large suitcase and nobody offered to assist. I was greatly disappointed with this location, I had booked a room @ The Halston but which was not clear on the booking this was down the road in a foreign city & country so not ideal.

The only problem was we were on the top floor with a lovely room with sloping ceilings which as we are both tall caused a few head bangs. Had we realised we should have asked for a change of room. The rooms are well furnished and the kitchen well equipped with a welcome pack of crumpets and jams for breakfast which was a lovely touch. Penny Blue was excellent for dinner and highly recommend as a dining option.

What a wonderful hotel is the Halston. Just a short walk from the station and easy walking to the Castle, Cathedral and city centre. It was so lovely to have an apartment at a reasonable price with the extra space of a lounge area and a kitchen with a fridge! Not common in the UK.. the included cookies and crumpets were very much appreciated. The staff were friendly and efficient. Highly recommended.
