Dont stay here - the reviews are beyond inaccurate. I never write reviews, but when I saw the dreadful state of the place and clientele, I politely said I wouldn't be staying and could I have a refund. They declined - which is in keeping with the experience. A truly unpleasant place to stay - I seriously question Expedia's rating system. Dump.

Decent sleep, but skip the breakfast
The rooms are clean and comfortable, though a bit noisy late at night (but they gave earplugs…). No lift, so did have a lot of stairs to climb. The main disappointment was the breakfast. Poor quality food, overcooked, wrong items, and scarcity of food on buffet. Staff were friendly and helpful; checkout was easy.

Lovely Staff but a few niggles
The Hotel is on a street corner and parking nearby is limited we had bags and a child with us and our room was on the top floor and no lift available so 6 flights of stairs the room itself was well presented and clean but this is where the niggles came in our bed sheet had a cigarette burn hole in it and the shower which was very complicated to use the main handle was hanging off had had to be constantly pressed back on it was a windy old day and the top floor windows which where old sash cord type windows and had the wind stopping resistance of a seive however its not all bad staff are lovely breakfast was amazing not sure if we would use again but its not all bad

Great stay
The hotel/pub looks like an 'old man's pub' but the rooms are very comfortable and clean. The breakfast was very tasty and Claire was amazingly helpful and friendly by pointing out the best places to eat.

Room was cozy and clean, staff was extremely friendly and enjoyable to talk to. The bar/pub downstairs was a great chill atmosphere filled with people who clearly knew and loved each other. Plenty of options for food in the area, and the pub was priced very reasonably. Will absolutely be staying again

Honestly- there was nothing to like. We arrived and had to go looking for someone to check us in. Barmaid came through and did this in a corridor. I asked to use ladies toilet, DISGUSTING didn’t cover it. The room was a basic mis match with no wash hand basin in bathroom but in bedroom??? This place is in the dark ages. We left in the morning and there were glasses some full, some empty, lying all over the floor of the hotel and spilled out over into the street outside. Left us ear plugs but those weren’t equipped to drown out the noise from downstairs. A complete disaster never slept a wink. If not for my husbands poor health I would have left after our function at night instead of morning. Sorry guys…….but you did ask.

Always stay at the Charlton, 3-4 times a year. Every visit is the same.. warm, welcoming and a feel of home away from home. Staff are great, facilities perfect, location great and parking at rear. Go for the Comfort Room (4 poster bed) as the rooms are bigger, comfier and comes with great facilities.
