Ambleside Central

自助酒店，

Great place to stay bang in the centre of Ambleside. Very reasonably priced, clean and comfortable rooms and very handy with the Lily Bar just next door who serve great food! It’s self check in with codes sent to you on the day of arrival but any issues then there’s a really friendly man who will help no problem and is on hand to assist with anything. We’ve stayed here three times and couldn’t fault it - definitely a recommend!

Do not stay here if you actually want to sleep. Given the location on the main road, I was expecting some traffic noise but I was not aware of the noise that would come from the pub. A live band ended up playing when we were there so we didn’t get any sleep until well after midnight. The single bed was uncomfortable - you could feel the springs in the mattress. The toilet flush was noisy and randomly went off in the middle of the night even if no one was in the bathroom. The room hadn’t had a thorough clean - I found rubbish from the previous guests in the room. The management was unresponsive - I sent a message before our stay questioning the validity of the parking permit provided as it said it was valid for March. We ended up just parking in a nearby street which was disc controlled which was much closer than the parking provided.

I think for the price compared to other hotels in the area, you can't really complain. It is a bog standard guesthouse with a bed and shower in a fantastic location in the middle of ambleside. I stayed with my partner and 2 kids in room 8, and it had everything we needed for our weekend stay in ambleside. The only downside was it can be quite noisy of a night being next to the lily bar and on the road with cars, people, and music, I would recommend bringing ear plugs. Also the car park is a 10 minute walk away but not really a problem. My advice is don't listen to the super bad reviews as I think it is from people expecting the 5 star experience in a budget hotel.

Was simple accomadation. Whole building has a weird smell. Our chests were hurting after waking up. Facilities were standard. There was damp on the ceiling of the shower. Parking was a 7 min walk away which was inconvenient when having luggage to carry.

Extremely loud basic room It’s a shame as the room (2) was fine; basic with very small en-suite (needed the tap fixing and the extractor fan before the mould properly sets in, but none issues really!) The actual issue was the noise on a night, it wasn’t that bad on the Friday - there was a live singer which ended at midnight ish. But OMG we thought it would be similar sat night, but after the musician the thumping hard core club music started and went on until 3am. We came away to catch up on sleep and had a lot less than we would with our little ones. Unless you want to join the party avoid!
