A great compact city, good for a weekend break but also great as a base to explore this beautiful area. Train journeys along the Carlisle /Settle route, the Cumbrian coast route, over into Scotland and to Leeds Newcastle etc all easy.Guest review byMichaelUnited Kingdom - 8.0

Pedestrian Plaza under construction - when finished will be an asset. Variety of shops, some in covered markets - weather protection for travellers. Visited Cathedral and Cafe - both worthwhile . Overnight stay on route to Penrith for Family History research - Library staff very helpful.Guest review byDaphneAustralia - 8.0

Visited the castle and bitts park excellent and well worth the visit The same for tulle museum the dinosaur exhibition was fantastic Caught the bus to Keswick The bus station is a bit run down and full of litter Plenty of good places to eat had Italian Greek and Mexican all goodGuest review byelizabethUnited Kingdom - 8.0
Oh, it's a hive of activity and we love it.
Oh, it's a hive of activity and we love it. The Lanes shopping centre, right at the heart of Carlisle is a must for shoppers. It's great to see this in the city centre, where other towns and city planners have allowed the destruction of city centres by allowing out of town retail parks to cause shoppers to abandon the heart of these great places, Glasgow and Dumfries to name just two. The night life is also amazing with pubs to suit all styles and budgets and some are a real laugh. If you are into your history there's a castle right in the middle if the city centre too. The only issue in August 2025 I'd the roadworks and infrastructure improvements which have been going on for ages but I'm sure once complete it'll be a much easier city to drive in.Guest review byDuckworth - 8.0
Small but interesting cathedral.
Small but interesting cathedral. The history display in the crypt v good. Tullie House very good. Dinosaurs, Romans and other things. Castle interesting. Friendly staff. But the castle itself could do with more info. Lots of empty rooms but no descriptions on the walls. Centuries of history deserve more explanation.Guest review byTraveller777United Kingdom - 8.0

We found the centre by the station very unattractive, noisy and difficult to drive through, particularly for disabled parking near to restaurants. Our hotel was a little out of town so it was very convenient to have a good Asian restaurant next door to it. There is a good pedestrianised shopping precinct and an excellent, large park by the river, with good facilities, attractive features and leading out into open fields.Guest review byJancisUnited Kingdom

- From US$86.20 per nightScored out of 10, guest rating 7.8Good - What previous guests thought, 2,709 reviewsA clean room should be a given of course and the room at Ibis Carlisle was perfect. The accommodation is no frills but is most certainly good value for money. All staff we interacted with were very pleasant and welcoming. The hotel has an excellent location in the city with very good public transport links once we parked the car. This was our second very enjoyable stay in Carlisle and we will stay again at the Ibis.Guest review byGordonUnited Kingdom
