Just got back from a three night stay at Carolus. Twin room had a lovely view, bedroom large and airy. Bathroom modern and spotless. Good breakfast choice. Very good value for what we paid. I am surprised by reviews which say it is dated - I don't believe that the style of the bedrooms and restaurant etc is trying to... More

Very basic accommodation. Room was very dated but had a spacious double room. Main attraction is its location.

This is barely a one star hotel and is more comparable to a hostel. We were already booked, but arrived earlier and decided to stay at the same hotel instead of having to change locations. The room was a double which the front desk had not registered. Jean Carlo insisted it was a single even when we showed him the... More

My husband and I stayed here for 6 nights. The hotel is clean and the breakfast is good. However my first impression of the hotel was just how outdated it was. It looked like something out of the late sixties. It definitely needs modernising. The rooms are very basic (the most modern thing was the small flat screen TV) and... More
