The staff were great but the place is worn out, the photos on Expedia are not current. It needs a renovation and unfortunately the unit wasn't clean, kitchen was dirty and food on pots and plates. Some of the kitchen appliances were grubby.

Clean, dry, warm and spacious with some Sky TV channels. Comfy enough beds. Close to Hagley park and food. Property needs some maintenance, a lot of doors didn't shut properly.

Great property to stay at
Timothy, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

We had a HUGE 2 bedroom suite. It had everything we needed including an air fryer, which was a nice surprise. Our bed was comfy, so was the couch. The best part was definitely the staff, they were all great!
Nylene, 3-night trip

8/10 Good

Nice beds. Parking inside Camelot was very tight, and one night there was nond available, so needed to park on the street outside which was not ideal.
Shona, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Enjoyed our brief stay at Camelot very reasonably priced. Facilities are looking a bit tired but I understand it is under new ownership and they have plans for refurbishment.
Anna, 1-night trip

10/10 Excellent

Great easy place to stay!
Holly, 2-night trip

8/10 Good

The room was great. It was cold on arrival and did not heat up very well during the night. We used the small extra fan heater which worked but only in it's immediate vicinity. If it was warmer, i would have rated comfort a 5.
