What guests say
8.8 / 10 · Very good on Booking.com, from 186 guest reviews
The Charleston Place earns overwhelmingly positive sentiment, with guests consistently highlighting its prime downtown location, warm and attentive staff, and elegant atmosphere. The main recurring frustrations centre on ongoing construction — bringing noise and parking headaches — as well as the pool and spa being closed during some stays, and a price point that a handful of guests felt was steep. Minor room maintenance issues (creaky beds, temperature control, ageing fixtures) also surfaced occasionally.
