Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
The George Hotel enjoys a prime location in the heart of Keswick, making it easy to explore the shops and markets. Many guests find the rooms spacious, especially the superior doubles, and appreciate the large showers. The on-site pub's food is often mentioned as excellent; however, some guests have noted some areas could benefit from refurbishment. With parking available, it offers good value for money, all while being the oldest Inn in Keswick, full of character.

An acceptable stay

helpful staffgreat locationtired hotel
The room was clean and quite comfortable. I found the staff to be really helpful . The hotel's location is great, it is in the heart of everything.
The hotel needs some updating as it looks tired. My room could have been cleaner, ESPECIALLY the shower cubicle. The sealant had some dirt on it.

The breakfast was lovely and reasonably priced. It set me up well for the day. The location was the best I've experienced, only a short stroll to the market place. The hosts were very accommodating and friendly.
My room was very small. It was described as having a view of the hills, but you couldn't see them. Noise from the cellar or the building's heating system made it difficult to sleep.
