Frommer's Review
This baronial Victorian pile (once an exclusive department store) rises from the east side of North Bridge, between the Royal Mile and the cavernous gap that separates Old Town from New Town. Some recent investment in the Carlton removed bedrooms to create more space in units with bathrooms that have a tub and shower. Some complain of the noise from the busy street in front of the hotel: Light sleepers should request rooms at the rear.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
