"Short stay"

I have now stayed I 3 hotels in Kendal and they have all been good. But the Premiere Inn in Kendal is outstanding. The gentleman on the desk last night 14/3/20 was absolutely fantastic and the lady was also fantastic they they were so helpful, we then went into the bar for a drink and meal again the the staff were fantastic, helped us with the choice of meal and breakfast in one price. The gentleman on the desk came through with our room key and also sorted out payment for the meal and breakfast. In this day and age it is just unbelievable staff would go the extra mile, happy to help. Thank you all for a great night and sleep. I would of given 5 stars but this morning at breakfast 15/3/20 the person who ran breakfast was rude and sarcastic to our group. We came into the dining room and no one was there so we got a table and went to make our drink. He came through and said you are not supposed to be here till I book you in, then said there is a sign by the desk it’s big enough can you read. And before we could reply walked away and barked out what is you names. And you can sit over there. He came a cross and said what do want for breakfast, we asked for cooked breakfast. And he went off, moved the sign to the middle of the room. Others were asked what the would like for breakfast how they wanted their eggs done. When I asked for his name he refused. I believe he should work with the team on the night before to see how you talk to people. A good stay spoilt.

"Could be much better. "

Came to stay at Premier inn Kendal for one night, nice and cheap so can’t complain on that front. Great, central location too. One of the members of our party has a strong dog allergy, so to see two dogs (not guide dogs) staying on the second floor with a couple was rather concerning, reception staff didn’t seem to bat an eyelid at this either, very strange and concerning considering premier inn is supposed to be a strictly ‘no dogs allowed’ hotel chain. Evening meal in the restaurant next door was okay. Pleasant service with decent food. One of the major perks of premier inn is the beds, although strangely this premier inn seemed to be different. Incredibly hard mattress and pillows made it tough for us to sleep. Although that is just a personal preference. If you’re visiting the Lakes then I recommend the Penrith hotel over this one. Much newer and much more comfortable.

"Not enough Parking"

After driving 7 hours and arriving at 630pm there was no parking on site. There simply isn’t enough parking spaces for the hotel and location (others park here). Also everything else is double yellow lines. I booked this hoping I would be able to park even at a high cost. The hotel is well placed and near pubs and restaurants and shops. The prices are good and the hotel is good as always.

"Not as nice as Penrith"

The Kendal premier inn is fine, just a bit disappointing after spending the previous night at the Penrith premier inn. Nothing particularly wrong with the hotel, just the rooms are smaller, and the common areas look a bit shabby. I also don’t like having to pay £5 to park the car, especially as you don’t pay for parking at Penrith which is also centrally located in the town. Additionally the car park is very small, and hasn’t got enough space for the number of rooms at the hotel. I was fortunate to arrive fairly early and get a place, but not sure where you would park if you didn’t Very close to town centre so if you do stay I wouldn’t bother with the evening meal offer as plenty of places to eat close by with a lot more character. Indeed if you didn’t want to spent a lot on a meal there is even a mcdonalds on the Main Street in Keswick, about 100 yds from hotel.

"Not a Great Night's Sleep"

Check in at 3pm was easy, with no queue and polite, efficient staff. The car park had plenty of spaces and given we'd stayed here before, the £5 charge wasn't unexpected. We had a late night, returning to the hotel at around 1.30pm. We had a ground floor room and soon discovered that we could hear every footstep in the room above, along with every flush of the loo and running of the taps. This made for an awful night's sleep for us both. I've no idea what was going on in the room above, but there was about the same amount of sleep as in our room, i.e. none. 4am, 5am continued stomping around above our heads. Not an enjoyable stay on this occasion.

Hotel description Get a breath of fresh air with Premier Inn Hotel Kendal Central, right next to the spectacular scenery of the Lake District and Grizedale Forest. And with great transport links to nearby business and leisure attractions, you'll soon find there's more to Kendal than mint cake. Step back in time at Kendal Castle. Stomp up a high fell in the Lake District. Stroll around Sizergh Castle Gardens, or settle down for a story at the World of Beatrix Potter. Then come back for a tasty meal in our restaurant, and a great night's sleep in your comfy bed.
