During my stay at Royal Hotel Carlton, I appreciated the central location and the cleanliness of my room, which felt spacious and comfortable.

Dining at the hotel could use improvement. Although there was a decent variety at breakfast, I found the quality lacking, and the extra charges for tea and milk felt unreasonable.
