There is a reason on a busy weekend why this is the only hotel with availability. Its way too expensive and maybe a 4* in Bulgaria, certainly not in the UK. The location is great but thats really all it has going for it. We had a room only and as you wil see from the attached pictures, this is... more

We stayed at the Carlton in Bournemouth and were pleasantly supplied initially. That soon changed!! The room was freezing - bearing in mind it was the hottest day of the year. We ha to have fan heaters. We were woken up by the room above and the room at the side of us - it wasn't pleasant being woken up... more

I stayed at the Menzies Carlton for 4 nights from 11-15th May on business. I read the reviews for the hotel which appeared to be indifferent and varied. I found the hotel to be clean and well appointed. The staff were very friendly and approachable. I had a large room on the 1st floor with an equally large bathroom. My... more

Stayed at the hotel last weekend, got a good deal from lastminute, double room for me and my partner. Checked in and found the room to be good, clean, a little dated but good.

The room was beautiful but... more

Mrs. Oscar (Warks) and I've just got married at The Carlton and I have to be honest, my overall impression is that in respect of the 'marriage service' provided by the hotel, all went very well. The planning was handled by people who clearly know what they're doing and the venue is exceptional, being picturesque, comfortable, warm and friendly. This... more
