My husband and I had a horrible stay at this hotel! The room was very dirty, the "coffee maker" was caked with grime, the bed was extremely uncomfortable and the walls are so thin that you can hear EVERYTHING going on in the rest of the hotel, all hours of the night. The "Continental Breakfast" consisted of dry cereal, instant... more

I read the TripAdvisor reviews of this hotel before booking and, having travelled extensively staying in hostels, dismissed the complaints as the typical whining of tourists expecting 5-star treatment for 2-star prices. I can put up with a bit of dirt and cramped quarters if it's central and cheap, and who spends that much time in their room anyway? Please... more

It was very expensive for its price because its amenities weren't good. We booked for five nights and I already indicated how many people we were, but they expected us not to have heavy luggage so they reserved our room on the top floor and there's no lift. There was no way to bring our luggage using the very narrow... more

Our one night stay at this hotel did not start well as what greeted us as we walked in was an overpowering stench of vomit. Stupidly we did not immediately walk out and try to find somewhere else - we had already paid for our stay through lastminute.com and we could see that the hotel was in the process of... more

We had two rooms. One was supposidly a double but my Mother said that "she couldn't swing a cat in there". I stayed in a twin room. The sheets were clean but we had one blanket on each bed and a bed spread which was heavily stained. The light switch was filthy and needed a good wipe down with some... more

This is not a fancy hotel, but it is very practical. It is centrally located near Victoria Station. The price is right. Yes, the bathroom was tiny, but we found our room to be clean and comfortable. There is so much to see in London, that we wanted to spend as little time in the room as possible anyway. The... more

the bad things: The smallest bathrooms I've ever seen. Not the cleanest and nicest hotel I've stayed at. Could be nice with a make-over, the showercurtains didn't look clean ect. Not much of a breakfast, and I didn't like the fact that you might have to sit at the same table as other families... The good things: not much noise... more

Was looking for a place to stay for one night and found the rate at the Carlton to be extremnly favourable. The location was great with easy access to both the Tube and the bus, however we practically walked everywhere from the hotel. We did not take advantage of the free breakfast, however took advantage of the free internet offered... more

Never stay here, I booked it after getting confused when making the booking as I was looking at too many hotels online. The location is very noisy and there is no double glazing, so you might as well sleep on the street. The room had a bad smoke smell and was the dirtiest hotel room I ever walked into, so... more
