My family of four children between the ages of 4 and 7 had the most wonderful time in this hotel. The staff could not have been more helpful. It was our first time in a hotel since the twins were born and we felt like the only people in the hotel. If CARLSBURG did nights away this was it. The... More

My partner and I stayed here for 2 nights recently. We upgraded to a suite, which was a bad move. Nothing like any suite I have ever stayed in. Too many doors which were awkward to open. There was a 'bed' of sorts in the living room. It was raised on a wooden platform which was nothing short of dangerous,... More

I wouldn’t recommend this hotel to any one, staff are rude and arrogant, Food was awful and cheap yet expensive, bed was broken, bathroom light was broken, had to find maintenance person yourselves, when you make a complaint they do nothing about it Jessica Dublin

Stayed here with my husband. Hotel looks good on arrival and friendly staff. Was a really busy day with a wedding and some parties so there was a queue for checking in. We decided to have lunch instead of queuing. Just ordered a sandwich and chips, nothing fancy, but found a hair in my sandwich! Not good. The waitress apologised... More
