Lovely Hotel

Lovely room, beautiful building, really nice and attentive staff. Check-in and check-out were a breeze, even though check-in turned out to be right in the middle of the crush of Oasis fans going to the concert down the road. Very grateful for a relaxing stay.

Cumberland Hotel is situated in a good location for walking to everything. Breakfast included which was a bonus. Room was basic and on ground floor so had to keep blinds closed as staff were walking past our room. Also staff closets were located in our hallway which caused abit of noise when they used them especially when we had gone to bed. Bed was honestly uncomfortable. A thicker mattress would have been much better. Also better quality pillows. Cheap pillows give no suppprt. Staff were very approachable and helpful. Parking was an extra £15 pounds each day. Personally believe parking should be included with the price of your stay.

This was a lovely hotel! Very charming! The chair in the room was in the way and not useful. We asked to have the bathroom window raised, as we could not do it ourselves. The staff apparently forgot. They did bring a fan. Otherwise, our stay was very enjoyable

Adequate

This hotel was adequate, but a bit run down. The bed was smaller than expected. Location was a bit far from city center and it took a long time to get a taxi/ uber to pick us up. The staff members were friendly.
