"With its wood panelling, spaciousness and ceiling fans, the Carlton has an Old-World feel."
"A pleasantly creaky old hotel, once quite swanky, built in 1935 and still retaining some wood-panelled period charm, albeit rather worn."
"If you get one of the renovated (‘class A’) rooms, this is a gem with a whiff of yesteryear... If you get stuck with an old room, it’s not worth half the price." Full review

"Built in 1939, the Grand is situated in the bustling heart of Downtown. The rooms are clean and its marbled bath rooms are divine, but most period fixtures have gone."
"Art Deco edifice featuring original lifts and furniture, a fountain, coffee shop and old-fashioned, homely rooms with immaculately varnished wooden floors."
"Retro-tastic." Full review
