A very small hotel not located in the best part of Rugby. But competitively priced and to just go for a meal is well worth the experience. The service is excellent and the cuisine is 1st class. However the restaurant is small and exclusive and booking in advance is a must. Whilst I have not stopped at the accommodation this... More

Weve eaten here a number of times over the years and the food is always good. it is well prepared and excellantly served. Good portions and no rush for you to vacate your table. It is advisable to book as there is limited dining space. There is also limited parking but the food far outweights the limitations. I have no... More

Was invited to have Sunday lunch here as a surprise for my wife's birthday, had a table of 14. Place doesn't look great from the outside & area not great, but once inside the place is very nice. Modern decor & pleasant dining room. Old fashioned vibe with a warm welcome, reflects in older clientele. Traditional menu, with good selection... More

Stayed here overnight in the room pictured on the hotel page. Very comfortable, clean, en-suite had an electric shower not the most powerful but it was good enough for the price I paid. My room was set back from the main road hence I didn't experience any noise at all. Although the walls are a little thin and colleagues who... More

We very much welcome constructive criticism as it can help us to improve The Carlton further, but how can you comment on an adjoining room when you have not stayed in that room? Your descriptions about "room shaking, ripples in your water glass and a towel between the feature wall and your headboard"- sound as though there was an earthquake... More

I have yet another stay in Mr Singh's excellent. I had my usual room with a bay window overlooking the street - no problem with street noise with the double glazing! I had a first-rate dinner, and a good breakfast in the morning. The breakfast options are very good. The free WiFi works well with more-than-adequate signal strength.

My "Big Mistake" was when i put my trust in the comments made by trip advisor commentators who had previously visited the Carlton hotel.

Hi David, First of all thank you for your positive comments regarding your stay with us here at The Carlton. We do, however, feel that some of your claims are rather unfair. Our hotel is not situated on top of a roundabout, as there are no roundabouts on Railway Terrace. The bay window in your bedroom has double glazing. To... More

My wife and I spent two nights at the hotel and also had dinner on the two nights. The accommodation was pleasantly decorated and the rooms were spotlessly clean. The staff were very helpful. The evening meals were excellent and provided good value for money. The hotel benefits from a central and quiet location close to the town centre and... More

I have stayed at this hotel for nearly 4 weeks on business and cannot recommend this place enough. Having travelled to many countries around the world and equally as many hotels, I have yet to find anyone like the Carlton who provides such fantastic service.
