Reviews for Michaelson House Hotel

Review 1:Could be a little cleaner in the bathroom. A noisy fan or something like that which was on going most of the night.

Review 2:Friendly, easy going staff. Nice breakfast made to order.

Review 3:The staff is very helpfull and always kind. They told us of all the things to visit. We were in England for a meditation retreat and booked a quiet place. This place was that very quiet and friendly. We will be back. The service was real good. We really enjoyed the staff. Very helpfull and kind.

Review 4:Decor seemed dated. Radiator was leaking and made carpet wet. It was reported but not repaired.

Review 5:Good car parking, comfortable bed, good breakfast and dinner. Pleasant staff.

Review 6:Breakfast was bacon an uncooked sausage slice of fried bread uncooked egg and uncooked fresh tomato

Review 7:It was awful bed was uncomfortable, carpet was stained, bathroom had mould round the bath, no hot water for a shower and breakfast was disgusting, the rating above is way too high if I could give minus rating I would.

Review 8:Just a suggestion... there is an excellent backyard .. you can probably put in a little semi outdoor game facilities.. that will be great

Review 9:Almost everything...

Review 10:bedroom urgently needs updating and ensuite needs a major overhaul

Review 11:we had early check inn arranged and keys given to us for our return later that evening as it was after 10:00pm

Review 12:Water pressure in shower was poor.

Review 13:Peter great host couldn't do enough for you, I left for work before 7 but he had a bacon & egg sandwich ready for me to take with me. Bed comfy wifi ok.

Review 14:Old hotel in need of extensive modernisation. Bit pricey for what was given. Central heating was switched off at night time and could not turn on. Id only booked the place en route and owner calls up 30 mins later asking me when Well be there. Told him we have stopped over for a bite to eat. He said reception is not 24 hours and could we reach there ASAP please. When we got there we had to really knock. He eventually opened up but told us if wed been 5 mins late he'd have gone to bed! Old carpet in rooms and generally place needs radical overhaul to modernise. Pretty basic and somewhat expensive for what we paid.

Review 15:The owner is a friendly person and knows about the area.

Review 16:No complaints.

Review 17:Staff was very friendly and accommodating for my needs. The room was spacious and comfortable. The location was excellent: a few minutes drive from the hospital where I was working and from town as well.

Review 18:Shower black mould room small and basic nobody there when we arrived to check in Ceiling in dining room patched and boards nailed to cover damage Old chipboard furniture dying with age ,wardrobe door off a hinge drawer frontsdropping off had to push them back together, bedroom carpet stained.showe room really tiny ang grubby. Carpeted flooring causing smell when showerroom door had been closed. Overall it looks kike it had been dacorated and furnished in the late 60s or 70s and nothing done since..it defiantly can not be classed above 2* family run business and only encounted one person doing reception bar breakfast. Reported wardrobe door hanging off and this one person said he would fix it when he was doing the rooms, not surprisingly he didn't get round doing it.Sadly with all his good intentions it is to much to handle without other staff.I would say this hotel is suitable for workers needing a bed and breakfast only. With 4* hotels in the town with good clean modern roomsi would not go here again.we triied it because our usual hotel we use didnt have a room available when wr needed it

Review 46:I waited outside the hotel fo 40 mins all the staff was out I stayedat the hotel for just over 4 hours had to leave my son was in a carcrash and payed the full price witch I dint like wont be stopingwiththem again

Review 47:Bathroom a bit chilly in February, but solved by leaving the door propped open when we were out to let in the heat from the bedroom!

Review 48:Friendly welcome by Peter and his mother, very tolerant of my inability to book a room for the right date (!), relaxed atmosphere, excellent breakfast, spacious split-level family room.

Review 49:This was the second night I had stayed in this location, butunfortunately the b and b I stayed at only had availability for the onenight so I was forced to find anther hotel for my last night Inbarrow.the first hotel I stayed in was cheap and cheerful, the staffwere very helpful and the room and breakfast were both very good value,I only wish I could say the same for the Michelson House Hotel. The roomvas tiny, poorly decorated and very very dated.as I work in constructionI rely on a hearty breakfast to kick-off my day, but unfortunately I gotanything but!! I ordered poached eggs, bacon on brown toast but theportion was so small it was served on a side plate!!! All in all for £55per night for a singe room was at best bad value for money and needlessto say if I ever stay in barrow in Furness again I will in no way stayat this hotel again, I would rather sleep in the back of my van!!!!
