Average would not stay again

The room was spacious quiet & comfortable what let it down was \"Big Brother\" controlling the aircon.
Last night and this morning it was stuck on an uncomfortable 25 degrees C and to change you had to contact reception!! with no phone in the room. Also the ironing biard was worn and the iron was average. I would stay somewhere else next time. Why not let guests control their room own temp !!!

Better book other nearby hotels

I have booked a stay in the above hotel and paid full amount through online for
one night (04/05/2025-check in date and 05/05/2025-checkout date).
I with family (wife and 1.5 years old) reached at hotel around 6 pm and a man in reception ( ? Barry, Manager not sure the name, the other staff says his name in his absence) welcomed me. He asked my debit card for identification purpose, I was shocked but he insisted saying that said it’s for confirmation purpose . I gave my card, he told no money will be deducted. He also said that it may show a pending transaction in my account, but no money will be deducted. But later I found out that it’s not pending transaction, he took £ 90.47 from my account.
At the same night I filed a police compliant and luckily I got my money back after two days.
But I emotionally stressed and worried about that money the entire two days.

Second thing about the stay was that room was not maintained enough to give a proper rating to this hotel.

Lift was also not working and I was struggled to go upstairs with my luggage and my 1.5 years old baby.

Lovely hotel and staff

If I had read my emails before arrival I would’ve found out about the parking being over the road but even so, staff at reception gave me all the information I needed and allocated a permit for us.
Everywhere was so clean and neat and the reception staff were so helpful and engaging, giving us some local information and also discussing driving routes etc.
room was beautiful- lovely deep bath, iron and board, hairdryer all good quality. Only issue we had was the heating, we couldn’t turn it down but it wasn’t too much of a hassle to us. I would certainly recommend this hotel to anyone looking.
Close to main centre, shopping and entertainment- we did use the bar but not the restaurant and we found it lively and clean and again lovely staff

Consumer experience has fallen from good to poor at DOE. Reception unmanned, bar / restaurant staff untrained / inattentive.

The biggest disappointment was that children were not allowed in the pool later in the afternoon or evening; the exact time one would come back to the hotel to swim after a day of sightseeing! Huge disappointment as the pool was the only reason I booked so far from the old town.

Best go for the superior room. The ground floor rooms are blighted by the stench of the fryers in the kitchen and the local \"lads\" revving their engines at the adjacent traffic lights. The hotel clearly don't want bookings from sites like Hotels.com as they make you jump through hurdles on check in, and then charge extra for the \"complimentary\" breakfast if you are through a booking site. I won't be back

Lovely hotel with lots of original features. Rooms were spotless, good decorative standard and the beds are so comfortable. Air conditioning and heating you can control yourself. DH Lawrence stayed there once. Good location, free parking, near to shops, but not too close. They do the best bourbon Ive ever tasted and lots of different drinks like English vodka.
Only thing Id rate less than 5 stars was the night porter who I just found a bit difficult, not that helpful and a little odd, but that is only my opinion!

The room was a executive double , the room was a great size with a large very comfy bed . The bathroom was massive and felt very luxurious . The bedroom itself was a little tired , the carpet a little thin though it was spotlessly clean .
Good value for money will use again for sure .

I always stay here when I visit Barrow. It is a stones throw from the railway station and close to local bus routes. The hotel just has a really nice ambience. The rooms are a good size, clean and have good comfy beds. Great local bar which also serves great food. All the staff are friendly and make you feel welcome.

It’s an exceptional place to stay for business or leisure, everything is provided and less than a minute walk from the train station in case you decide not to drive. Recommend any day!

Return stay at the DoE. Service is spot on, too few hotels recognise the significance of personalised service... The DoE pays attentions to the small and big things that make a real difference.

Bar/restaurant food is very good at dinner and breakfast.

Great location near the train station and complimentary parking.

Lovely hotel, conveniently located.

I’m a regular visitor to the town while I’m helping our son and his partner modernise a house which they’ve recently bought thst.
This is a gem of a hotel which I will be staying at whenever I’m visiting from now on.
Check in was very friendly and efficient.
The room was lovely. Spotlessly clean and well equipped. Tea and coffee making facilities were generously stocked.
The bathroom was spotless and was a good size with a nice powerful shower.

The restaurant has a good variety of reasonably priced meals and an extensive selection of beers to help you unwind after a hard day.

Breakfast was the same quality as everything else at the hotel and very reasonably priced.

I’m looking forward to staying again when I visit again in a couple of weeks.

The room is clean and tidy with everything you need. Little treats like oat cookies provided are really good as sometimes when you arrived after a long drive with really adverse weather, these little treats helps a lot.

All the staff are really helpful , cheerful and efficient. The restaurant downstairs is a must go.

The air-condition inside the room can not be adjusted and there is no hair dryer available inside the room as well.

We've stayed at the Hotel several times over the years, always provide a great service with clean, modern rooms that are both warm and comfortable with everything you need for a short or long stay.
Priced very fairly and the choice of drinks at the bar is excellent, breakfast is amazing and you certainly won't go hungry.
Looking forward to my return in the new year.

Nice room. I would recommend double glazing the windows, as the hotel stands on the corner, of two reasonably busy roads.It is very convient for the station,being 5 minutes level walk away. Staff we good the food recommend. It's clean and has a lift to all floors.

over rated

never know how this could deserve an 8 rating. i would suggest 5. First there is no place to offload the bags unless you love to park on a busy intersection while offloading. second the floor boards are squeaky. there is no aircon but that I guess is standard for a 3 star htl (it is rated 4),
but the staff are pretty nice and although I came in one day earlier they changed the date which has never been done before, so that takes the cake for me to be more generous in my ratings.

Great for Business Stays

Stay at the Duke of Edinburgh quite regularly with work -

Rooms are generally spacious/modern with hot/powerful showers.

Really friendly reception team who are always willing to help with invoicing etc

Car parking system a little inconvenient as you have to collect the voucher from reception to display in your car across the road. Also the car park isn't overly big - not sure about alternatives

A Lovely stay

A very pleasant stay at the Duke of Ed. Staff attentive. Room was clean and comfortable. Nicely decorated for Christmas. We stayed for 3 days visiting family and friends over Christmas.. It took all the hassle out of Christmas. We had a nice meal on Christmas eve in the restaurant. We have stayed before in a superior room which are larger and better appointed. It's in a good location for railway. Also for access to the town

Helpful staff but noisy plumbing !!!

Stayed on the top floor at the front/side of the hotel and still suffered from Traffic noise on the Friday night. Problem with plumbing/pipework noise (VERY noisy numerous times during the night - when other rooms ran taps/flushed toilet?) Terrible nights sleep !!!!! Reported problem next morning to receptionist who was most helpful and apologetic - whom immediately issued us 2 x complimentary breakfasts and moved us to a much better QUIETER Room. Slept much better 2nd night. Overall the staff were most helpful but the hotel might need to get plumbers in to sort the pipework on part of the top floor ?

Duke of Edinburgh hotel, Barrow

The hotel was in an historic building but the rooms were fairly modern. We paid extra for an executive room, but only apparent difference from standard room was size, would have been nice to have a mini fridge perhaps. The room was generally clean but the window couldn't be fully closed and there was a largish crack in the bathroom sink not what I'd expect in a 'superior' room. The location was good , near to the centre of town with free parking across the road. We didn't eat in the onsite restaurant, so can't comment on that.
