The Halston Carlisle

We were two guests and stayed midweek, two nights, Wednesday to Friday in a deluxe two bed, two bathroom apartment - room 204. We checked in with Dee on reception/concierge who was super friendly, polite and very helpful, also offering to book us a table for that night in the hotel restaurant, Penny Blue - all the food was amazing - scallops, cheese soufflé, steaks and apple crumble. Attentive and friendly service by Olivia. Our apartment was spacious and beautifully decorated with lots of personal touches. Milk and butter in the fridge, crumpets with preserves. Dualite toaster and kettle with Nespresso coffee pod machine. Full size dishwasher. Two suitcase racks. Wardrobes and drawers - all perfect. Breakfast also in the hotel, this time in Barton’s Yard. Hot coffee, toasted roll with sausage and eggs benedict. Absolutely amazing hotel with polite, helpful and courteous staff. Only one thing to consider is the internet, it is slow/intermittent and does not download particularly well. However, we would still recommend staying at The Halston 100 per cent.

A one night midweek stay. I wish I had an excuse to stay longer. When I find one I will be back. The hotel was easy enough to find with a large public car park next to it. If you pay the parking at the hotel you get a 20% discount. Staff were very nice and helpful. We had a big, clean, well equipped suite that everything we needed. Staying midweek we had no noise issues. The city center attractions, the cathedral and the castle are all within easy walking distance. We ate at the attached restaurant and found the food to be of a high quality and standard. This is an easy hotel to recommend.

Very good accommodation. Two bedroom apartment was very nice. Overnight parking not too expensive. Location good. Centre of Carlisle but only 10 minutes, if that from the M6. Dog friendly. No food available on a Monday night but good carry out just across the road. Would use again.
