Great value for money, with carpark
The King Charles Hotel is great value for money, rooms are fine as is the food and drink. It's not a Hilton, but neither is the price.

Great stay for families
Customer service was friendly & helpful. Breakfast was good & offered sandwiches for the morning we left too early for breakfast.
The hotel was clean but dated. The bathrooms could do with stripping back & updating.

Lovely and clean hotel
The satay was very comfortable and it felt like I was on holiday somehow. The vibe and aesthetic was really nice. I felt like I was on holiday. The fishtanks and ponds were so pretty and there was entertainment during the day in the suite which was so cool - really impressed
