Crown and Mitre Hotel
Fantastic location and sense of being in a special place. Room was in annexe but that was fine, just a short walk across car park, and was reasonably spacious with efficient lift. Staff could not have been more helpful whether cheerfully bringing more tea at breakfast or dealing helpfully with enquiries ...

Carlisle Station Hotel, Sure Hotel Collection by BW
Staff were overall unhappy looking, and certainly not welcoming. I'm also disappointed that there was no food offer available. The bar no longer serves food and the restaurant appeared closed. On the plus side, the wifi is fast and reliable.

The Halston
Really lovely staff, incredible rooms with so much space. It's right in the centre but has a car park next to it too. Can't fault it really.
