Reviews of Ambleside Central 3 stars

If I had known there were 61 stairs to climb to my room, plus the site is unmanned and I hadn't been given door entry codes. When I received the codes, the front door wouldn't open! The electric towel rail didn't work. I couldn't find the switch for it! Generous size rooms. The bathroom was across the landing. Being older and currently experiencing sore knees and feet things were not ideal.

Site being unmanned and codes not working. Man from next door sorted things out but I felt I was being a nuisance to him.

The location was really good in the centre.

Parking, there was no spaces so had to park in the main car park. My room was next to the extractor fan for the take away below, so there was constant noise all night, and constant smell of take away. The venue in general had some really bad smells, and constant noise all night. There was only a tiny fan to keep you cool or have the window open.

Due to phone probs I could not receive the codes to get in and had to ask the girl working in the bar next door to run upstairs and get codes and parking sheet. She was very kind and it would have been in quite a predicament

Excellent location, off-road parking, value for money, friendly staff.

I liked that parking was included. Check in was simple with the key codes being shared by text. The room was clean and equipped for our needs. Tea and coffee, clean towels and extra bedding were available. It is centrally located so a great base for our trip.

The room was very warm with a small window open for ventilation. The fan provided was very noisy to use at night, and not really efficient for the summer heat. Although I liked that parking was included, it wasn't clear how close to the accommodation that was at the time of booking. We were aware that access was up stairs but other guests should be aware that all rooms are situated from the first floor up to ours which was on the third floor.

Comfy bed

The amount of dust build up was ridiculous on fan extraction in bathroom under the chairs pictures frame tv wardrobe and on top of doors and the kettle already had water in it witch is a big no no for us so we dident use it and the room 8 with privet bathroom was so noisy with no respect with them waking up at 6am and keeping us awake with there chatting

Location

Clean, great location

The walls are so thin, i was kept awake until about 4:30 am as you could hear people snoring in the next room and every time someone flushed a toilet

Good location, and initial comms were good, but the rest is poor. Avoid a stay here. Literally stay anywhere else in Ambleside!

It wasn't clean. Shower was a dribble and not constant temperature. Window led to back of Lily Bar and was noisy to after midnight. No air con. Poor natural light. Room very small compared to others in ambleside. Massively over priced for a very basic stay. No breakfast. Electronic locks were temperamental. Blind was broken. State of room in general was neglected and poor. Walls paper thin, I actually heard my neighbours bowel movements on the toilet as it was next to my bed!

Ok but too warm

The key code not been given right details

Location was great. Definitely good value for money. Easy check in process. Room was very spacious.

Parking was a little far from the property. Fan that was provided made an awful noice which made it unusable at times. We stayed when it was up to 30 degrees which was not ideal.

Brilliant location, lovely clean room, good value for money and super staff on hand to help you with anything - definitely recommend!

Nothing

Great location. Good value.

Tough to load / unload luggage on arrival and departure. Lots of stairs with bags. Tiny TV - not a big deal!

Very good location, we stayed one night and had a good sleep. Big plus for a free car park (it's not so close to the building though, you need to have a walk to the parking). Big bathroom for our room. Good value for money in Lake District.

Carpets everywhere which amazes me in England - there were even carpets on the stairs and at the entrance to the building. It's impossible to keep them properly clean.

The location was perfect. Room was nicely furnished

Personally the mattress was too soft but my partner found it alright. Shower temperature dials didn’t work.

Great location, comfy bed, easy check in and check out. Clean room. Parking included.

Not that it was a bad thing but there was no information about what time check out was. From what I saw anyway.

Easy check in and door code system worked well. Excellent location right in the centre of Ambleside. Free parking was a bit of a walk away but a useful touch.

Self check in and the staff were friendly!
