Room pleasant, comfortable and quiet. Whole place seems to have been recently refurbished. Shame though that the badly stained carpet in the main corridor hasn’t been replace as this gives a very poor first impression. Overall would definately stay again.

Great hotel on lake Windermere - convenient to shopping and dining options plus walkable to the boats that taxi around the lake. The hotel staff was friendly and helpful. Room was ok and had the amenities we needed. Enjoyed the daily breakfast to gear you up for whatever walk or attraction you pursued that day.

This is a true gem in the Lakes District. It has a lot of history (which translates into very small rooms and a non-existent barrier between the shower and the rest of the tiny bathroom). But if you don't need a lot of space, the buffet breakfast was great, it's so close to shopping, dining, and the lakefront. A spectacular view of Lake Windermere from an outdoor patio. Which means a very steep walk up from the main drag. Definitely a classy place to stay.

Lots of hidden costs, like addtioanl charges for breakfast (even though the listing advertises this as being includes) and addtional costs for parking. A poor and dishonest way to conduct business, which ruined an otherwise enjoyable stay.

The hotel was okay and that’s all I can say. The breakfast was not good and the room a bit cramped. Air conditioning did not work very well and the quilt on the bed was perfect for a very cold winter. The price for one night was, £261 and I then had to pay an extra £10 for parking. Was it worth the money and would we go back. No and No, sorry.

Average and tired with part renovation

We paid extra for a premium room and having been to this hotel before we did not sleep in a premium room. More tired than before, something I over looked during winter paying a much lower price. in March a high price for a very tired hotel. The bed however was comfy but I’m not happy with the room we were given & what we paid for.

It was generally excellent. The only thing we were a bit concerned about was the size of the bathroom in our room no 107 which was very cramped. We were particularly concerned about the heated towel rail which was very hot, hot enough to burn and located on the approach to the shower which was narrow and also it was opposite the wash basin so you could easily burn your rear end if you were not careful whilst having a wash. We mitigated the problem by keeping a large towel on it. Otherwise everything else in the hotel was absolutely fine and the view over the lake fabulous.

Hotel room was very dated, carpet had a stain on it, tile in bathroom cracked. Not what we expected as cost £458 for two nights. Breakfast was good, with good variety. Location of hotel is good for walking to many bars and restaurants. Wouldn’t return based on cleanliness of the room. Another we never knew is you pay an additional fee to use the swimming pool. Have stayed in many hotels and never have I had to pay to use the facilities!

We have been to this hotel before but it just seemed really disappointing this time. The staff seem very unwelcoming. They speak quickly in a condescending manner. The room was small and the hotel is generally dated. The breakfast was ok but cheap quality ingredients. They are charging for the car park and despite advertising spa facilities, you need to pay for this as well on top of the high price they charge for average rooms. Just disappointing!

Really great experience! Some areas were dusty and not quite as clean as I would expect for the price, but would stay again. Halls smelled a bit like that classic “old hotel” but the rooms did not have any unpleasant odor. Breakfast options were somewhat limited but all very good and we found them to be excellent quality compared to other hotels we stayed at on this trip (including ones that we paid for breakfast!) spa was lovely, and staff at the spa, restaurant, and front desk were all very friendly. Views were incredible from our balcony, and balcony was quite spacious.

We stayed for a weekend at The Ro hotel and had a lovely time. The staff are all friendly and work so hard. The hotel it's self is slightly dated in some areas but that adds to it's charm. We also used the wellness centre and would definitely recommend it. It's really clean and modern with lots to offer. The hotel is is really central to windermere, we were able to walk everywhere easily. We'd definitely stay here again.

Liked: Staff & service
The staff were lovely, very friendly & polite. We stayed in the balcony room, I think it was very expensive and over priced for what it was. The room had lots of stains on the walls, carpet & ceiling, the shower area needs redecorating and again walls and shower tub was stained. The balcony was ok, again it wasn’t cleaned, but the views were lovely. The hotel is at the top of a very steep hill but is in a nice location and close to everything. I think the hotel would definitely benefit from being redecorated as some of the hotel has peeling paint work, scuffed woodwork and peeling wall paper. I expected more for the money we paid, I wouldn’t stay here again.
