Northeast Lake District Hotels

"We were excited about this hotel given the pictures and description on Hotels.com. On arrival at 9pm, having had difficulty getting into the hotel (the doors were locked and closed and the place looked shut! There’s also another part to the hotel across the road which looked unwelcoming, we tried there too in case there was another reception) eventually someone came to the door, unlocked and removed the obstacles behind the door to allow us to enter. He then checked us in. The hotel is dowdy and the room was dark, dingy and dated. Not at all what we expected. The ‘feel’ of the place and the area put us on edge, as we are not familiar the locale. We immediately decided to check out and booked another hotel, even though we would lose our money on this one. The hotel we moved to (the Lindgart) was much nicer and welcoming (and the reception was open!) The guy on reception did try to help and offer us another room, but unless he was going to relocate the hotel, decorate and refurbish, there’s not much he could do to put this right. I’d say it’s a fine hotel for contractors, but not quite the romantic getaway the pictures would have you believe. "

"One night stop over. Late arrival and early departure but nice spacious room, comfy room"

"We stayed at the Brenner for a week recently , using it as a base to visit our son and his partner . The location is perfect , not too far from the autobahn, City Centre and the tram stop at Sieker Mitte being a couple of hundred metres away. We found the hotel to be very clean and well presented with friendly and very efficient staff who made our stay such an enjoyable one. The Restraunt is very good too, breakfast offers the usual Continental array of choices . The rooms are very spacious , we stayed in a quad and there was plenty of space for the three of us. I would recommend this hotel for anyone wanting a good solid base to start and end your day . "
