Our check in was difficult. They texted codes to us for entry to the building and to our room, and sent it by WhatsApp as well. However, being from Canada we did not have access to our Canadian text plan and don't have WhatsApp. The staff in the adjoining pub were able to help us out by contacting whoever from the hotel. This "hotel" has no lobby or staff, so should probably be classed as a hostel. Once inside our room was two floors up, with stairs only. So be prepared to carry your luggage. Also, once we were in the UK we got an email with a pdf to print for our parking permit. We had no access to a printer, so that wasn't possible. It would have been helpful to have received this before we left home. The room itself was quite adequate, with a  nice shower. One night we had to resort to earplugs as the couple on the other side of the wall were having a long conversation that wasn't even that loud, but was very disturbing. Knowing all this, I would stay here again and be prepared for the nuisance factors. The location is very convenient, right in the middle of town and less than a block from the bus.

Good size clean room with clear information about check in and car parking. Nice bar attached where we ate one night ( Lily Bar).Only slight downside which didn’t spoil our stay was that it was suggested on a notice in the room that bins would be emptied daily and we hoped that if that was done the loo roll would also be topped up but the bins weren’t emptied so we had to ask at the bar for more loo roll which was in fairness delivered very quickly. Good stay overall at a decent price in a good location

Ambleside central stay

Just not an enjoyable experience for my wife and I. Car park too far away, too many stairs to climb for elderly couple like us, entrance hallway very dirty. How can this be 4 star property?

The payment method offered rejected every card that we tried and we finally paid at the Lily bar on the day that we arrived. We were very grateful to the bartender who carried our bag upstairs as we were on the top floor. The room was very dark and there were insufficient electrical sockets for the table lights and kettle. The room was clean, but the plumbing was very noisy - sounded like a jet taking off when flushing the toilet. Location was excellent.

Location excellent, staff very friendly and helpfu

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.

One night stay, Dec 23

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. 

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! 

Good stay

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

Small room

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
