We spent 4 very good nights in this Amiens Hotel.

We particularly enjoyed the great convenience it afforded. On the balmy summer evenings we either enjoyed the very good restaurant on the ground floor of Le Carlton or we wandered the very pleasant downtown area to find a spot. Le Carlton has a terrific breakfast, too at about 8.50. The service at Le Carlton was excellent.

We liked Amiens a lot and used it as a base to cycle the Somme and also to take the train to Paris. Amiens is just the right size and conveniently located.There's a very good cycle hire spot just opposite Le Carlton and the hotel is very close to the railway station. We did a lot of cycling at 3 euro per day. This is terrific value, but you need to leave 150 euro deposit.

The Cathedral is something to behold and don't miss the awe inspiring laser light show late on summer evenings. We were spell-bound by it and we are not religious people.

All in all Le Carlton was great value and we confidently recommend it.

Firste of al, it has NOTHING to do with the chain called Carlton, otherwise, small and fair business hotell in the middle of the town of Amiens. not much to say other then it was fair enough for a couple of hours shuteye...

Rooms are really very dirty. Never heard of a vacuum cleaner. In the bathroom everywhere hairs, dust and mold.
Bed is hard and noisy. Under the bed not cleaned since years. Everywhere dust.
Old and broken furniture
We could check in from 7.00a.m. according our reservation but the room was avaliable at 14.00.
According to website airconditioned in every room, but there's airco only in the restaurant.

You can better go to Holiday in Express at the opposite side of the street: very clean cheaper than Le Carlton and value for money, also included breakfast.

Le Carlton is in a great location, directly opposite the train station which is not at all a 'tacky' part of town as is the usual case with train stations. It leads onto to a great little pedestrian only shopping mall and the town itself is very clean, there is obviously a lot of civic pride here. The canal area is just lovely. The hotel itself, although clean, is looking a bit tired and worn though. Our room was spacious but the bed was very hard and the room itself quite stark. The bathroom was also large but I don't like having hand held shower hoses in the bathtub. The staff were very friendly and check in and out was trouble free. For one night it was OK but perhaps a little overpriced for the standard on offer.
