We actually left a day early because the room was so disgusting. The bed sheets were dirty and gave me a rash on my leg. We had a spider in the room the size of my palm and got no sleep because we felt like something was crawling on us. There was no hot water so we took cold showers. There were marks and scrapes all over the wall nothing looked taken care of in there. For the money I’ve never stayed in a hotel that bad. The staff was very nice though.

Do not recommend

Booked for a work meeting and it was horrifically overpriced because of the fringe festival. The room was small, advertised to have a double bed but it was barely a large single. The mattress also had a dip where it has been laid on that was unavoidable. The room was unclean and my room in particular (room 1) has what seems to be all the drains running through it so any time water was flowing you were well aware of it.

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
