"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
