This hotel is truly dreadful if you're looking to get your head down after a hard days' work/sightseeing. Noisy (the nightclub/late night bar stories are ALL true), badly managed and in need of a decent security upgrade, this hotel should be avoided at all costs. If you're going on a stag/hen weekend, then fair enough, it's probably for you. Those... more

Our Saturday night at this hotel was disturbed twice at 3.00 am and again at 4.00 am by drunken louts thumping on our door and others looking for "their fooking room". 3 security staff seemed incapable of handling the situation. Police eventually had to be called. Staff attitude was apalling. We were left with the impression that this behaviour is... more

Stayed here twice some days apart. Saturday night incredibly noisy - room vibrating. would not have booked it if I had known. Room and bathroom clean and functional. Reception and car parking good. Returned on a Thursday night - not as noisy but bathroom smelt strongly of wee and I was very grateful club opposite seemed to have closed down.... more

Stay here every year for my annual golf junket and cant fault it. Perfect location on Carlisle's popular main street and yards from pubs nightclubs and restaurants/attractions. Never had any problems in the last few years we've been staying here and its always kept clean and comfortable. more

I have stopped at this hotel a couple of times on room only bases with no problems, but this time we were put overlooking nightclubs. It was a disgrace to take money off people knowing what they were in for. A shrug of the shoulder is what we got off the staff. If you do stop, there is plenty of... more

My wife and I stayed at the Ibis for two nights (Sunday and Monday). We picked this hotel mainly for its location - within a block of both the train station and the Hadrian's Wall bus stop. We planned to use it as our "base camp" for a day exploring Hadrian's Wall. The location proved to be every bit as... more

I stayed at the Ibis in Carlisle with a EF tour Group of 40 people. By the time we arrived all the shops had closed at 5 p.m.. Check in was smooth and we were delighted that the hotel had an elevator. I found the room to be clean and neat. I liked the design of the room. It was... more

I have stayed at this hotel before , and its a case of getting what you paid for , I booked well in advance online and paid less than £40 per night for the room only. At weekends the hotels location is noisy , its surrounded by bars and clubs , but the noise outside to be fair is not... more
