Cheap Workington Hotels: Best Budget Places to Stay
Find cheap Workington hotels, compare central and rural stays, and check current rates, breakfast, parking, and booking tips before you reserve.
Sammie O
Looking for a cheap hotel in Workington? Start with a central option if you are arriving by train or only staying for one night. If you have a car, compare hotels on the edge of town and nearby villages too. They can offer better value, but they are less practical without your own transport.
Quick answer: The lowest clear advertised rate we found was a single room at the Waverley Hotel from £37, including full Cumbrian breakfast and VAT. Rates change with the date, room type, availability, and booking terms. Always check the final price before you book.

Washington Central Hotel, for a central Workington stay
Best for: visitors who want to stay in Workington rather than outside town. The hotel appears in current Workington searches, but published prices and facilities can vary by booking date. Check the live listing before booking, especially if you need parking, breakfast, accessible rooms, or a refundable rate. This is the sensible type of option for a short stay when you do not want extra driving.
Travelodge Workington, for a simple central base
Best for: a straightforward stay in town. Travelodge Workington is on William Street, Workington, CA14 2FB. Its official page offers Standard Rooms and has hotel-specific parking information. Compare several dates on the official Travelodge Workington page, then confirm the final room price, parking terms, Wi-Fi package, breakfast, and cancellation rules before you pay.
The Melbreak Hotel, for a rural alternative
Best for: drivers who prefer a quieter countryside setting. The Melbreak Hotel is in Great Broughton, outside Workington. It is a practical alternative only if you are happy to drive to town. Do not assume it is cheaper on every date. Check current availability and transport before booking, especially if you will rely on trains, buses, or taxis.
How to book Workington hotels for less
Compare more than one date before booking. Sunday through Thursday can be worth checking if your plans are flexible. Look at both refundable and nonrefundable rates, then compare the total cost after breakfast, parking, pet fees, and other extras. When central Workington prices are high, widen the search to rural stays or nearby towns, but include the cost and time of driving into Workington.
Waverley Hotel, for a breakfast-inclusive rate
Best for: travelers who want a published lower-cost tariff with breakfast included. The Waverley Hotel is at 1 Gordon Street, Workington, CA14 2EN. Its tariff has listed single rooms from £37, including full Cumbrian breakfast and VAT. The hotel states that check-in starts at 2 PM, with early check-in available on request. Confirm availability, room type, cancellation terms, and any parking conditions directly with the Waverley Hotel.

Conclusion
For the lowest published rate, check the Waverley Hotel first. Choose a central Workington hotel if you are traveling without a car or staying for one night.
