The Prince Charles Hotel has a clean and modern feel, with comfortable beds. However, the location is a bit odd, being far from most attractions, and there are some quirky aspects to the rooms that might not suit everyone. The breakfast offerings were limited, which was disappointing, and the unique shower setup made the bathroom a bit tricky. Despite these issues, I may stay again due to its convenience for my needs.

My stay at The Prince Charles Hotel had its ups and downs. On the bright side, the building is clean and modern with comfortable beds. However, the location feels a bit isolated, and there are several quirks that might surprise you, like rooms without windows and odd dining options. While I’d consider staying again for convenience, there are definitely areas for improvement.

I’ve stayed at The Prince Charles Hotel twice now, and it’s quite interesting. The building is new and clean, with comfy beds, but the location is a bit odd and far from most attractions. It has some quirky features, like rooms without windows and an intense shower setup that leaves everything soaked. The breakfast setup was also strange, lacking essentials. I might stay again for convenience, but it’s good to know what to expect.

I have mixed feelings about The Prince Charles Hotel. On one hand, it boasts a clean and modern building with comfy beds. On the other hand, its odd location means it's far from many attractions, and the dining experience leaves much to be desired. Overall, I might return due to its convenience, but there are definitely some quirks to be aware of.

My stay at The Prince Charles Hotel was a mixed bag. On one hand, the building is new and clean, and the beds are really comfortable. On the other hand, the location is quite far from main attractions and some rooms really lack basic features like windows and hangers. The dining experience was odd, with limited breakfast options and strange butter substitutes. Overall, I'll likely return for convenience despite its quirks.

I stayed at The Prince Charles Hotel and found it to be a clean and modern building with comfortable beds, but the location is a bit strange as it is far from most attractions. The quirky room features were interesting, but there were some inconveniences like the lack of hangers, excessive noise from the hallway, and a rather odd breakfast setup. I might consider staying here again mainly for convenience, but be prepared for some unusual aspects.

The Prince Charles Hotel has a lot of charm with its clean and comfortable building, but its quirky layout and distant location are a bit of a trade-off.
