I found plentiful parking facilities near Carlton House at an affordable price. The staff members are helpful and informative, answering all my questions. The room was clean and spacious, equipped with comfortable beds. I also appreciated the excellent communication regarding parking permits and entry details.
The room was slightly cold, and the shirt also felt a bit cold to the touch, requiring an extra layer.

The hotel is a short walk from public gardens for dog exercise and also toilet facilities, so it is convenient. It takes only five minutes to walk to the bus stop for various destinations. Also in 5 minutes you can reach the front promenade.

The well-set-out dining room offers a great vegetarian breakfast option for me. My husband enjoyed the full English breakfast, so it caters to different tastes. There is a good choice of cereals for breakfast. dogs are welcome.

The location was REALLY convenient.
The bathroom was tiny. I am not a tall person but I almost could not turn around in the shower (it was THAT small). The duvet cover looked worn. I wondered when it was last replaced.
