Hi Tangi, We are so pleased that Carotel is your family's first choice for their Canberra stay. It's great to know you that too are part of our big group of repeat guests. See you next time, kind regards from the Carotel team.
Lovely establishment”
Conveniently located in Canberra, it was close to many attractions in a quiet area. Facilities in the room were modern and clean. A pleasure to stay at for an economical price compared to similar places to stay in Canberra, and we would be happy to return on our next trip to Canberra.

It wasn't in a middle of city but it was not bad at all”
The motel was really excellent, the view was just massive and it wasn't located in the city but accessible by the public buses in which the bus stop is just in front of the motel

3 Day was just... OK”
I had a King motel room which was fine. Beds were nice and neat, bathroom was fairly old. Very clean but the toilet light kept flickering like a scary movie which made me lol. Check in was fine staff were easy and friendly and gave us directions to the local Woollies. Found my room easily enough. Not as many things to use such as plastic bowls etc if you wanted to make a salad which you really want if your trying to save a bit of money. The BBQ area was grotty after the last users and the bins were overfull on a Sunday morning meaning we had to trek further to find somewhere to put our rubbish. My gripes weren't so much with my room but moreso with two of my sister's and their families' rooms. One was in a room with a king and bunks. While waiting for her to cook some breakfast I looked up and the light fixture was full of bugs. Both the one above the bed and the one in the kitchen. Needless to say I was not impressed. In my other sisters one bedroom motel room I went to put some drinks in the freezer and found that nothing could fit in because it was practically all ice. It didnt look as though it had been defrosted in quite some time. Furthermore when she pulled out the single couch/beds there were copious amounts of sand and bits of dirt that fell out from them?!?! Housekeeping could definitely be improved. I needed new towels and instead of putting them back in the bathroom they were just left on the table. Beds weren't made which I found odd but perhaps they don't make beds and it wasn't the end of the world. For the most part it was clean and despite a few things mentioned being overlooked its still good value for money and I would return. It was an average stay but for what I paid it didn't really matter. I would recommend to families on a budget.

Great place for simple comfortable accomodation”
Very reasonably priced and comfortable. I am happy to stay here for regular visits. Only issue is lack of cleaning and servicing room during stay. Maybe that's the level of service supplied because pricing is very reasonable...

Thanks for your review Haylee. We appreciate your feedback and will pass it on to our cleaning company. We look forward to making your next stay an enjoyable one.
Great low key accomodation at a good price”
Staff were friendly and attentive. There is an on site caretaker that made things feel supervised and safe. Clean facilities. The room was not serviced during the 3 night stay ie beds were not made following arrival night - not a problem for me but is important to note

Value for money”
The lady on duty on that night very sweet and friendly, helpful and thoughtful. She turned on the heater for us to warm the room for our arrival. She gave us the milk to make coffee / tea. Thanks for your hospitality and good enough for a night of stay, value for money.

Generally good value for money”
The cabin assigned to us was clean, newish and pretty complete. The rangehood though was not working, as a few lights throughout. The single beds may be too soft for some people's liking. Otherwise, good value. Needs improvement. Front office staff needs more training on dealing with guests booked via Agoda. Place seems to be in process of refurbishment, so not very pretty at the moment.

Cramped and old accomodation unsuitable for large group”
Booked a "spa villa" for eight persons. The house was too small to fit in 8 persons. It has two small rooms and a separate wash room and toilet. A double bed in one room, two tier double bunk beds in another. Two satee turn into beds are in the living area where there is also a dining table and kitchen. The house and the facilities are old. One of beds in the living area was broken and my daughter and her husband just cannot stand the condition, they checked in into a nearby hotel. With just one toilet for eight persons, it is very inconvenient. Washroom doors also cannot be locked! All in all we had an unpleasant stay at the motel. It is high time for Agoda to do quality assurance checks on all its advertised properties before promoting them to its customers. Your paying customers depends on you for a decent accomodation.

We are disappointed to know you didn't share the opinion of our other guests and were unhappy with the Villa you selected. If you had difficulty working anything, we have a caretaker onsite who would have been able to assist you. Room dimensions and inclusions are clearly outlined on the website, leaving guests to choose how many occupants they include and whether or not price or spaciousness is their priority.
Clean big room”
The room we booked is big enough for us. The room is clean and staff are helpful. Easy to find this hotel.

The hotel is a bit far from the city central, but clean and good value for money. We stayed in the hotel for a stop over and we had a good night sleep before we drive to Sydney the following day.

Large rooms with some caveats”
Clean rooms & sheets, dated decor (not that it matters), aircon works great and showers are hot. Overall great value & location with a suprisingly good shop in reception, let down slightly by missing fly screens in room and an outdoor BBQ i wouldn't use.
