I have stayed at this hotel many times - not through choice though... When entering a guest room, first impressions are good: it 'appears' clean, there 'appears' to be a large double bed and there 'appears' to be a nice sofa.... However, on closer inspection, none of the rooms I have stayed in have ever been really clean. The coloring... More

This was once 'THE' hotel to visit - but unfortunately it's now needing some TLC and a attention as it's a little tired. The main areas are all OK but the rooms could do with a lick of paint, new bathroons etc. and little things like making sure the room safes were actually bolted to the walls... That said they're...

My wife and I have just spent a wonderful weekend at the Lord Charles. For an establishment that is over 20 years old, it is in fine nick, indeed. Minor flaws were more than compensated for by the friendly and competent staff. Each and everyone made us feel so welcome. In this regard, special mention must be made of Edlin,... More

Breakfast was good and portions generous. Service at the hotel was good and all staff were very helpful. The hotel is... More

My fiance and I are in the process of planning our wedding and at the spur of the moment we decided we needed some time away from all the planning and since my birthday was also coming up (today) we decided to book a weekend away just to unwind...

My wife and I were fortunate to spend a night at the Lord Charles in Somerset West. Although a little on in years, the hotel is set on a huge property in beautiful surroundings. The rooms are large and adequately furnished with very comforable beds - which must take the blame for us sleeping an hour longer than usual. All... More

We stayed in the Lord Charles for the night of our wedding. We also got dressed at the hotel before the wedding. The staff was all very friendly and all helped to accommodate our needs on this very special day. The suite was made up very nice and was very clean. The suite was very spacious and it was a... More
