Mediocre stay

It is an average place, not too clean and the bed is not good and accessibility as a disabled person is difficult.

gordon, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff were very friendly and helpful. We only needed a bed for the night and a shower for when we left and for the price we paid we cant fault it.

Hotel of horrors

Quite simply the dirtiest, noisiest most revolting hotel I’ve stayed in. I’ve stayed in literally hundreds of hotels through work over the years and have never experienced such a dreadful stay in that time. I struggling to understand why you would list such a property
Nick, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

The given room was small and dark. Very old building; all equipment were flimsy.
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Hotel was convenient for the tunnel and is an impressive building but unfortunately it is showing its age and lack of investment. The room had damp patches on the walls and shows its age. However the bed was comfortable, which to be fair suited my needs as I only needed a place to sleep and as long as you aren’t expecting a lot then The Carlton will meet your needs. I am not ‘slating’ the hotel as this is someone’s livelihood but if they could win the lottery or have the money to invest into this lovely building in the location it sits it would be fabulous. Wishing you the best for the future of your business
1-night trip

6/10 Good

Booking in was easy and friendly the room needed a face lift but was clean and comfortable I would stay there again I had no big problems the stay went smoothly and would have no problem staying there again
Kenneth, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Ideal overnight close to the Euro Tunnel

For the price it’s hard to be too critical but the decor and building were tired, there was a stale smell of green and our mattress was past its best, if you need an overnight that’s affordable with a bar and pool table and parking then it’s hard to beat
1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great location. The decor was a little dated, and smoke smells on the stairwell, but very convenient 1 night stop. The room had everythjng we needed.
DAVID, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Good convienent location, helpful staff, the lift being out of order was annoying as I had heavy luggage.
Ian, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

Our room was very hot no airflow what’s so ever. I requested an additional fan and they said they didn’t have any. There was no hot water to shower only cold and colder. Fan was very dusty and walking up to the 3rd floor smelling weird smells. View was nice but we would not stay there again.
Diamantina, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

This hotel retains some of its old charm and doesn't have the same flat, grey and white modernised look like so many hotels these days.
