        Elegant hotel, walking distance from the station

        Nice and clean room with enough space to work comfortably. I spent 4hrs in a video call at the desk without any problem. Good service that allowed me a late checkout to finish my video call. I ate dinner in the hotel restaurant: excellent service and good quality of the food.

        Very good location. But breakfast was below average due to limited selection. The most disappointing thing was the lack of electric tea pot. I have never been in a hotel without electric tea pot until now. To be fair, this information was provided when I made reservation. I would have changed my mind about making the reservation if I had read it.

        One of our favourite hotels”

        Our third stay at Royal Carlton. Great value for money. Nicely appointed rooms. Quiet location. Very good breakfast. Would like a kettle in the room and air con a bit noisy but that would not deter us from returning. Staff very helpful and friendly. Nice public areas.
