Nice hotel. Nothing special though. The food isn't great but staff are helpful. There is a lovely hair salon though in the hotel. Haven't been happier. More

Stayed at the Lord Charles in January 2011 and although the room was very spacious and opened out on the garden, the furniture and decor was gloomy and dated. Unfortunately my husband was rather ill with a chest infection and a Doctor was needed. The staff were more than helpful to me and the Doctor arrived within the hour. As... More

Another great stay at this Hotel. Rooms are clean and spacious and beds are comfortable. What makes the Hotel special though has to be the staff. The Hotel itself is a little old in appearance but that adds to its charm, however the staff genuinely want to give good service and you are always greeted with a smile and a... More

From the beginning of the experience - the door of the hotel being opened, the friendly assistance, the porter sorting our bags out and the concierge booking us a taxi and restaurant for the evening - it was all just divine. The buffet breakfast was divine and plentiful - they even have a waffle machine. We were sad that we... More

I have stayed here on a number of occasions and found that the staff are lovely and the pool area very peaceful and relaxing. The food has always been alright as well. That is about all on the positives I'm afraid.. Suspiciously vomitty looking stain in the corridor near my room. Noisy air-con which didn't exactly do what it should... More

Checking in at The Lord Charles is efficient and friendly.. Reception is almost like a lounge armosphere where you are invited to sit down while the paper work is completed. This is done in a swift an professional manner. Our room was on the ground floor with a door opening onto a patio overlooking a small lake, a huge lush... More
