    Original booking was for a two room Villa with at least one double bed, but we were allocated a cabin with singles and bunks only instead. We checked in after reception hours and had no towels provided in the cabin the first night, but this was rectified with plenty of towels provided for the rest of our stay.

    After a full day each day at Canberra Royal, the hot shower and peaceful setting was really appreciated. Grateful for the prompt replacement of our original faulty fridge.

    No hot water on the second night. Power points in kitchen wouldn’t work the first 2 nights and the hair dryer wouldn’t work.

    Fairly close to the showground. Was basically comfortable.

    The pillows were a little hard for our taste but that really isn't a fault - we had a good night's sleep and that's all that matters.

    We love the location - as exhibitors at the Royal Canberra Show, the Carotel is so close and with inbuilt kitchen facilities after long days at the show it makes life sooo much easier

    Location and environment were nice. The accomodation (villa 414) was good except some fixation like bath hair drier was out of order, main bed AC didn’t work (I am not sure whether that was an AC or something else), main bedroom radio didn’t work, one of the bunk beds need to be properly checked & repaired. Otherwise the villa was nice indeed.

    Bathroom had a few dark hairs left high up on the wall. Bath had a grubby spot in 1 area. Bath spa jet outlets are aged looking, but does not affect the use of the bath in anyway. Bath was enjoyed by all. Only unpleasant part of our stay, was 5 adult men bouncing a ball in front of our balcony/unit in the carpark, at 6am! For over an hour, despite the massive grass area next to the carpark the adult men could of happily played in. Like all other families did who stayed 1 night. Overall lovely place to stay.

    Staff was very accommodating on arrival. Very helpful and friendly. Pleasant staff during our 5 nights stay. Accommodation was clean, tidy and comfortable. Bath was very much enjoyed. We really enjoyed our stay.

    Only 2 large lounge chairs - despite sleeping 6 - had to sit on the floor for most of the stay. Wifi was also terrible 😞

    Bed were super comfortable and kitchen well appointed - everything you need for a week away.

    The cabin when using fold out couches in lounge are very cramped and the bathroom needing bedroom access is not ideal.
