Old dated hotel
But nice ! .room was fine and staff very helpful
This historic hotel has charm! The bed was comfortable, the room was quiet. It's in a great location.
No air conditioning, but a fan was provided and the windows opened, so it was fine. The food in the restaurant was mediocre.

Liked: Staff & service
Older hotel (stairs only-- no lift) but fairly pleasant. Decent and clean room. Dining/breakfast options were just "OK"--not terribly good or exciting.
You have to call for your own taxis, which is rather annoying in a "full service" hotel; I was unable to get any taxi co to take me to the rail station, but the front desk lady was super helpful and found a solution--so kudos for that!
Booked late whilst on the motor knowing we had to stop. Receptionist was so helpful. Got an email confirmation with postcode to car park. Great service throughout stay.
Breakfast was great. Huge selection. Lovely percolated coffee
Penrith a lovely town full of independent shops. Castle a 3 min walk from hotel.
nice spacious room with bathroom
A little tired decor but notice other areas already had a makeover
Dining room at breakfast had spectacular decor and furnishings
Over all good value for money
Lovely hotel -- room had just been refurbished so was in excellent decorative order. It's an old building so floors and ceilings were quite sloping which made navigating the room a little difficult. Also there's no lift in the hotel.
We liked the area and convenience to the cute surrounding town. We liked the room we had and the bathroom was quite nice with lots of hot water. We had dinner at the restaurant in the hotel and it was really bad. My sister ordered potatoes and they were not fully cooked and were hard and not roasted as the waitress said but boiled. When we told the other waiter he said that's how they are.
We were upgraded to top deluxe room which was excellent.Hotel has definitely had a lot of improvement since our last stay . Staff,food and facilities are excellent
