Reviews and Ratings
My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although a bit small for the price, were clean and cozy. Unfortunately, the noise from outside was disruptive. The staff wasn't very welcoming, and the manager was particularly rude.
My stay at Skiddaw Hotel was nice for a short trip, although I found the room a bit small if staying longer. The service was excellent, making us feel welcome for our special celebration. The location right in the center was perfect for exploring, but the view was not the best. The dining experience was satisfying, especially with the good breakfast choices. Overall, it offered good value for the money.
My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The room, though surprisingly modern and comfortable, was a bit small and stuffy, with poor ventilation. The service was a mix of unfriendly encounters but with a thank you to all staff. The location was great for exploring Keswick, despite some issues with accessibility. The dining experience varied from fantastic to average. Overall, for the price paid, there were some aspects that could have been better.
The hotel had a great location right in the center of Keswick with lots of bars close by. The rooms were overly hot even though all heating was turned off, but the service from staff members, despite working under difficult circumstances, was fantastic. The dining experience offered plenty of choices, and the hotel had outside conservatory facilities. It was very noisy at night, especially during Halloween weekend, but the location was excellent for exploring the north half of the Lake District.
