Travelling with man, 2 children (12 & 16) and a daughter-in-law (16). We had a triple and a double room. They were small, but clean. Very nice area. Easy to go to other parts of London. Fine relationship between price/quality, and I recommend this hotel. Please notice there is no elevator, so you must be in good condition.

I've stayed in a lot of awful hotels, so it would be hard to say this was the worst. But the staff were probably the unfriendliest I've ever come across, and the breakfast was definitely the worst: a choice of cardboard-like cereals and toast, with hot water for teabags and instant coffee on the tables. I won't be going back.

That was the second time I went to London and both times I chose this hotel. It's very nice,but above all it's near from the tube and from Victoria Station..I think it's very good!

Il bagno è piccolo,tipo quello dell'aereo. Le stanze non sono il massimo così come la colazione,ma il personale e la posizione compensano tutto alla grande.La fermata del bus 24h è davanti l'hotel e porta in tutte le zone turistiche,è comodissimo! E' l'hotel ideale per dormire ed andare in giro tutto il giorno!Lo consiglio vivamente.

London is a quite expensise city so the price is OK. But in other cities I would expect more for the money.

Essenziale, senza troppi lussi, ma molto ben posizionato (10 min. a piedi da Buckingham Palace e da altri monumenti e luoghi d'interesse). Assolutamente comodo per chi proviene dall'aeroporto di Luton con il bus della Green Line (757): la fermata di Victoria é a 600 mt. La camera doppia assegnataci, pur non spaziosa, era molto pulita, soprattutto considerando la media-inglese...Al mattino la colazione comprendeva té, caffé solubile,succo d'arancia, yogurth, cereali, pane tostato con marmellata e burro. L'hotel Carlton rappresenta complessivamente una scelta ideale per chi intenda trascorrere qualche giorno a Londra per turismo senza spendere cifre iperboliche.. Lo consigliamo!

Location of this hotel is good, with many attactions in walking distance. Easy access to bus and subway. However, location is probably the only good thing of this hotel. Room is tiny (somewhat understandable in London) and DIRTY.

Ground floor single room had door lock held on with pieces of cardboard. Bedding had dirty blotches that hadn't washed out, though the bed was comfortable. Breakfast was served by miserable staff who handed toast from the toaster then went back to chatting to each other. Compared with other hotels at similar price this was definitely not one I'd recommend.

The hotel is walking distance to Victoria station and makes it easy access for the train to Gatwick Airport. The rooms are great for young single or couple travelers. The hotel does not have an elevator. The value for this hotel in London is the best you will find.

The Carlton is in a row of similar hotels. It is a pleasant walk down Belgrade from Victoria Station as said. We arrived from Gatwick. The staff were very friendly and helped set me up with a posh but reasonable (by London standards) ride to Heathrow as I did not want to do transfers on the way home. There are 2 theaters within walking distance and a number of excellant Pubs and Restaurants. Check out Balti House Spicy World and Cafe Nero. Bfst is routine. I had an inner courtyard room with views of the neighboring building and trees rustling, it is quite nice. Being at the further end of Belgrade it is quieter than being closer to the station. There was internet access right in the lobby so you could check out things as you left.

considerati i prezzi e la qualità degli alberghi di londra questo non è affatto male. la signorina della reception è stata molto gentile, la stanza pulita e graziosa, la colazione abbondante. l'albergo si trova in una zona tranquilla, molto vicino alla metro di pimco (un po' meno a vittoria - con le valige a piedi è faticoso ma c'è un bus comodo (1 fermata)unica pecca bagno minuscolo (di quelli prefabricati per interderci) dovessi stare più di una notte o 2 quindi forse non lo sceglierei

In generale e visti i prezzi della citta`, l'albergo andava benissimo! Non dovete soffrire troppo di claustrofobia (camera, bagno, reception, scale e sala colazione....che abbiamo evitato dal secondo giorno). La pulizia era sommaria ma fatta tutti i giorni, compreso il cambio degli asciugamani. Sorvoliamo su pulizia delle coperte...Un paio di persone gentilissime alla reception, il resto del personale un po` meno

Hotel molto comodo per raggiungere tutte le principali attrattive di Londra. Hotel silenzioso, piccolo, stanze pulite.L'unica nota negativa e' stata proprio all arrivo quando mi hanno chiesto circa 30 sterline in piu rispetto a quanto nel sito di Venere.com mi era stato confermato. Dopo aver mostrato la mail di prenotazione di Venere, hanno ammesso l errore e mi hanno applicato la tariffa stabilita al momento della prenotazione. Quindi...portatevi la mail di conferma della prenotazione!

Hotel was fine for our needs. Close to Victoria Station. Upon arrival they had stuffed up our booking saying we had booked 3 beds rather than two, so lucky we had bought along a print out of our booking for only two which settled this. Breakfast was nice and free internet use was good. Hotel quite hard to find though, we got lost a few times. Would stay here again

l'hotel corrisponde a quanto indicato nel sito. Buon rapporto qualità/prezzo. Posizione centralissima e zona molto tranquilla. Le camere sono piccole ma pulite e il personale è abbastanza gentile. Solo due inconvenienti: il bagno è veramente microscopico e quindi scomodo e la colazione è dal mio punto di vista molto modesta. non siamo stati malissimo ma non so se ci torneremo.

Ci hanno dato una stanza da 6 per noi 4. ovviamente era spaziosa. Non si puo' dire altrettanto del bagno con un lavabo di dimensioni cosi piccole che non pensavo potessero esistere. La doccia era piccola ma fattibile.abbiamo avuto fortuna di avere la camera al pianoterra perche' in altri piani non c'era l'ascensore.Il personale alla reception (dim. 1x2 metri) e' stato sempre gentile. La colazione normale.La vicinanza alla metro e al centro buona.Altra notizia: se avete delle foto da trasferire su CD andate da JESSOPS (non e' lontano)costano 0,99 a CD da altre parti le ho pagate 10 ster. a CD. Tutto sommato il CARLTON e' BUONO

L'albergo corrisponde a quanto descritto sul sito; non ci si aspetti alcun lusso, ma è pulito, tranquillo e gli addetti sono gentili e disponibili. La camera a noi riservata era dotata di 1 letto matrimoniale e 1 letto singolo (noi avevamo richiesto 1 matrimoniale essendo in 2), Tv, telefono, bollitore elettrico con a disposizione the e caffè, asciugacapelli, minuscolo - ma pulito - bagno con wc, lavandino e doccia, cambio asciugamani giornaliero. Per la colazione c'erano a disposizione croissant, pane tostato, cereali, latte, the, caffè (solubile ovviamente!), succo d'arancia, yogourt, burro e marmellata. Ci tornerei volentieri per il servizio, il prezzo, la tranquillità della zona e comodità dei mezzi di trasporti (a 5 minuti a piedi fermata metro Victoria - dove si incontrano diverse linee - stazione ferroviaria Victoria e fermata autobus Greenline (noi arrivavamo dall'aeroporto di Luton).

Il livello per noi italiani non è sicuramente alto, nel complesso lo considero accettabile anche se di bassa qualità; in sostanza se è solo per dormire può anche andare, ma bisogna chiudere un po' gli occhi. La colazione è abbondante e comoda. La posizione dell'hotel è splendida; si trova tra due stazioni della metro che distano tra i 3 e i 6 minuti a piedi. La via è tranquilla.

The Carlton is a modest hotel, but it is all the budget-minded traveler needs for a few days in London. The location, for example, is excellent: close to Victoria Station, and thus linked by a short underground or bus ride to most areas of interest. Staff at the Carlton were very friendly and helpful, especially regarding storing luggage on the day of departure and recommendations for eating out in the neighborhood. Our family room (four adults) was enormous and very quiet, situated as it was on the back of the building. Bath was small; breakfast in the hotel was worth skipping. But these two minor points hardly detracted from a thoroughly pleasant stay at a very good price. I will definitely stay there again. Best, CWH, Munich

LA VERDAD ES QUE LLEGAMOS EL PRIMER DIA Y NOS PUSIERON EN UNA HABITACIÓN DEL SÓTANO, QUE ADEMÁS CREO QUE NI ERA LEGAL, PORQUE ERA UNA SALIDA DE EMERGENCIA O ALGO ASI EN LA PUERTA PONIA FIRE DOOR KEEP SHUT, ASI QUE PEDIMOS INMEDIATAMENTE SER CAMBIADOS PERO ESA NOCHE NO PUDO SER, ASI QUE NOS CAMBIARON EL DIA SIGUIENTE A UNA HABITACIÓN DE LA PRIMERA PLANTA, QUE AL MENOS TENÍA VISTAS A LA CALLE, EL RECEPCIONISTA MUY ANTIPÁTICO Y ENCIMA POR LAS NOCHES NOS QUITABAN LA CALEFACCIÓN Y TENIA QUE LLAMAR A LAS 4 DE LA MAÑANA PARA QUE ME LA CONECTARAN ¿QUE ES ESO?. OS DIGO SINCERAMENTE QUE YO AHI NO VUELVO PORQUE PREFIERO PAGAR UN POCO MÁS Y ALOJARME EN HOTELES QUE ESTAN TAMBIÉN EN BELGRAVE ROAD Y MUCHO MEJORES (POR 20 EUROS MAS).

If we think London is not a cheap place to visit at any way I think Carlton Hotel and many more situated in the same Belgrave Road str. are the answer to medium families that are looking for cheaper places to take bed and breakfast. Don't wait for any marvellous chance, but it's very correct service for the price they asked. We can repeat again without problem for three of us. Very well situated to take a walk to every place.

I'm disapointed. When we arrived, there were postcards on the wall writtens by several travellers from several countries. All these people were delighted. Well, i guess that the tenant wrote the postcards himself. The rooms were small, especially the bathroom. The Heating was working though the température wasn't so cold (about 13°C during the night) and we had to open the window so the noise came in... The bathroom wasn't really clean. There was moisture on the curtain of the shower. The breakfast was given in a small room without comfort. There was toasted bread (2 or 4 slices, if you want more, you have to ask and wait and perhaps...), butter, jam... A small and too simple continental breakfast. Good luck ! We won't come back.

El dia antes de llegar a londres recibimos un e-mail del hotel Carlton en el que nos indicaban que por un error no tenían nuestra habitación disponible y que habían trasladado nuestra reserva al hotel Guilford, de la misma cadena. El nuevo hotel no estaba tan bien situado como el Carlton. Las habitaciones son más bien "camarotes de barco" pero para pasar un par de noches está aceptable, las habitaciones están limpias. Los hoteles en londres son demasiado caros.

I WAS NICELY SURPRISED. I DID EXPECT TO GO IN QUITE A FILTHY PLACE INSTEAD I MUST TELL ROOM THOUGH SMALL WERE NICE AND CLEAN, TOILET INCLUDED IN ROOM CLEAN AND WITH WARM WATER. STAFF WAS KIND, ESPECIALLY THE YOUNG LADY WHO WELCOMED US. I WAS THERE WITH MY TWO KIDS AND FELT SAFE. IF EVER I WILL BACK TO LONDON I WILL SURELY BOOK AGAIN THERE. I FEEL THE PRICE/QUALITY RATE FOR A LONDON HOTEL WAS GOOD AND FAIR. HAVE BEEN HAPPY TO STAY THERE FEW DAYS.

On the whole the hotel was all right. The hotel room was small and the bath very close, but if one is there only in order to sleep, it is okay. And, finally, one does not come to London to spend the whole day in the hotel! The nearness to Victoria Station is ideal and the bus route (line 24!)to belgrave road which drives 24 hours the day, is from big advantage. If one has no covered expectations to a hotel and is content with a modest, but, nevertheless, clean accommodation, one can spend the night in this hotel well. The price-performance ratio votes.
