    signage confusion
    tired bathrooms

    pool area, steam room, sauna

    Poor signage makes it hard to find!!! Rooms need significant modernization, especially bathrooms and tile work. Charging for parking can lead to confusion.

    great meal
    outdated decor

    The meal we had was genuinely excellent, a highlight of our stay.

    The room had a persistent musty odor and the decor was extremely outdated.

    wrong bathroom facilities

    the room was clean and tidy, and the staff were super friendly and helpful. they have a nice pool and gym, and the prices are really cheap. check-in was easy too which is a plus. the location is decent, close to bus stops for getting around the city. breakfast was ok, with a few options available.

    but the room had a bathtub even tho i specifically asked for a walk-in shower for my mum who can't manage the tub.

    great location
    friendly staff
    dirty toilet

    Had a fantastic time with friends! The hotel is ideally situated for exploring the breathtaking trails in the area and visiting nearby parks where we encountered beautiful wildlife. Plus, the beds were really comfy, and the bar prices were a steal. Friendly staff made our stay even better. Would definitely come back for the great location!

    Unfortunately, the cleanliness of the bathroom was quite disappointing. the toilet was not up to standard, which put a damper on things.

    The stay at Ox Hotel Carlisle was enjoyable. The room was comfortable with a cozy corner where we could relax after exploring. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making us feel welcome throughout our stay. Plus, the bar prices were fantastic, which allowed us to enjoy a few drinks without breaking the bank.

    The decor could use an update.

    Great location, friendly staff!

    We stayed here for a night and loved the spot! Rooms were decent, got a nice triple room for the fam. Breakfast was a steal too—good food for the price. On the flip side, the beds were kinda wobbly, we both woke up with sore necks. The bar area is cozy though, perfect for hanging out.

    I enjoyed my stay here, appreciating the clean, warm rooms and friendly staff. While some decor felt outdated, the complimentary breakfast offered delicious options at a bargain price. The leisure facilities offered great relaxation after visiting family nearby. I'd happily return for another stay.

    lovely staff
    good food
    great location
    dirty room
    poor amenities
    slow shower

    The location of Ox Hotel Carlisle is fantastic. Right in the center, with great views. The staff welcomed me warmly at check-in. The room felt dated and had dust in the corners. The bed wasn't comfortable. I woke up stiff. A few cobwebs were noticeable, which gave the impression of neglect. The bathroom had no plug for the sink, and the shower had a slow flow. the hot water was constant, which I appreciated. Breakfast options were limited, lacking fresh fruit and pastries, but what was available tasted good. The atmosphere in the restaurant was pleasant. The restaurant staff was friendly, making dining enjoyable. I thought it was worth the price at £33 for a night, considering the central location.

    bed comfort

    the room was comfy and the staff were super friendly. we had a nice breakfast nearby at a pub which was just a short walk away. also liked the efficient shower in the room, it was great to use after a long day. overall, we had a pleasant stay for the price we paid. definitely would consider coming back.

    the bed was a bit too soft for my liking and the decor seemed kinda outdated.

    convenient location
    friendly staff
    decent breakfast
    poor soundproofing

    This hotel is ideally situated for exploring the Lake District and the Scottish Borders. We enjoyed the convenience of being close to the town centre, which was buzzing with shops and entertainment. The staff was friendly, and breakfast, although basic, was decent and filling.

    My children wished for better soundproofing between rooms.
