Ambleside Central

The room was clean and well presented. However, we could hear people going to the toilet and using the shower. We also had an issue with our shower as it did not get warm. We ran it for around 20 minutes, using different settings and we even googled the instructions to check and we both ended up having cold showers.

Small room and rooms lock is broken. At central but not easy to find.

Great location, easy check in. Parking approx 5 min walk away.

Cudnt get in , every time we went out we had to call into lily's to get the young girl who was so helpful to get us into the place . If u have mobility issues fhis place is not for u . U have to park your car on a football pitch which is a good 15mins walk . Rooms are really small too . Love Ambleside but would stay here again

Great location comfortable room with the lily bar next door and the codes there chippy. No complaints on the room, parking is a little bit of walk maybe ten minutes and the location of the hotel can be a bit noisy in the evening, other than that I would recommend Ambleside central.

It was overall the very disappointing accommodation, so much so that my wife was appalled by the room that I had to book alternative room for the rest for our stay the ‘Lyndale Fuest house’ which was 100x better, roughly the same price per night but no comparison between the room, furthermore you also get a brilliant breakfast as well, better then any cafe in the district handsdown. In summary don’t waste your money on this accommodation. Avoid.

Great location, right in the centre of shops, cafes and resteraunts. Tea and coffee provided. Parking is not ideal if you have a lot of luggage, but did it appreciate it was free. Similarly, there were a few flights of stairs to go up. The electric showers, were quite noisy and you could hear when other rooms were using water. Amazing ice cream across the road at the fudge shop!

The check in experience was a nightmare. The day we turned up they was putting tarmac down on the street outside the hotel causing the one-way to be closed and they did not pre-warn us of any inconveniences which it did cause. Additionally, I went in to the Lily bar as instructed for check in and mentioned parking to which the girl behind the bar said she didn’t need our car details so I presumed the parking would be self-explanatory. This was not the case so my partner had to go in to sort the parking out and the girl said that I did not mention parking at all. This all sounds so petty and stupid but all of this just gave me a general negative outlook to my experience. I have no huge complaints about the room itself or location other than noise. Also don’t go near the Lily bar expecting a nice meal. Overall would NOT return

Lovely old building, the room well kept and helpful staff however the smell of mould in the hallway had us glad to be leaving, maybe if the price reflected this as I could have stayed elsewhere for the same price. As it is it is only really for a budget 1 night stay, we didn’t want to go back there each night 🙁 and it put a bit of a downer on our trip
