Review summary

Based on recent reviews

Foundry 34 enjoys a very central location in Penrith, making it a great base for exploring not only the town's shops and amenities but also for trips to the Lake District, North Pennines, and Yorkshire Dales. Guests commonly appreciate the clean, modern, and spacious rooms, often mentioning the availability of amenities such as tea/coffee making facilities and the option to cast from your phone to the TV. The cooked breakfast with tasty sausages is frequently highlighted, and the hotel's restaurant and bar add to the convenience, although some guests have occasionally noted noise issues. It's considered a decently priced option overall.
