    Two minor issues: A fan was provided as weather was very hot which was good but it was too noisy to have on while sleeping; Restaurant closed at 8 pm with only bar platters as alternative and no other meal option.

    Room spacious and clean. Breakfast plentiful. Perfect location and fantastic decor; nice spaces to sit and chat over a drink. Nice cocktails from the bar.

    Was a bit hot because there was no air-conditioning, but with the floor fan in the rooms it was okay.

    Fantastic old hotel with plenty of beautiful rooms with wooden stylish furniture. You can imagine a way back how people dressed up and stayed there in the 1880 and onwards.Nice bathroom and the breakfast ok too.

    Old world charm and comfort.

    There is no internal access from the garage so walking up wet stairs with luggage and trying to pull open the heavy front door was challenging. Perhaps given its old world style, they need someone on the door? The antique lift is delightful but 2 people with luggage is the most it can handle . We failed 3 times to open the outer door before the inner closed. 😂 We opted for the stairs for the rest of our stay. Breakfast has some nice inclusions but the quality of the bread let it down.

    The sense of history and all the architectural and design details are wonderful. We definitely felt like we had stepped back in time or into the set of an Agatha Christie mystery. In fact after a midnight ruckus caused by some other guest we expected to find a body in the library. Lots of lovely areas to sit and soak it all in or have a drink, read or play pool or snooker. Nice to have a continental breakfast included. The bathroom is gorgeous. Love this floor tiles! The huge lead light windows over the window seat in our room were so striking that we never drew the curtains.

    Continental breakfast included had plenty of choice but a dairy free yoghurt option would have been a nice touch although it seems Australia needs to catch up with the rest of the world on the allergens front generally. The bar closed very early. Even though it was a Sunday i would have expected the bar to stay open for guests as long as they want it.

    Room was great, double + single bed for child. Big bathroom and shower / wet room which was excellent. Didn't spend much time in the room so only needed to sleep and shower. Bottles of water provided in the mini fridge was a nice surprise.

    Breakfast really disappointing. Buffet breakfast hardly had any choice and was pretty empty when we were there. Better to get rid of buffet breakfast altogether and simply charge for breakfast.

    Always enjoy the atmosphere of the Carrington, an institution.

    In keeping with the room the furniture is also an older style and the tv, fridge etc were kept inside an armoire. The armoire had handles/keys that rattled every time you walked near it. No aircon, just a fan, so it was stuffy. The bed felt like it was on a slope; my head felt like it was higher than my feet so I had trouble sleeping.

    Location is fab; on the same street as the shops and restaurants in the area. Staff were super friendly. Secure parking was a bonus. The hotel had a lot of character.

    We were disappointed that the Dining Room was not open for tea on Mondays & Tuesdays. The mattress on our bed was too soft for us (very much a personal thing).

    We loved staying in a hotel that is such an important part of Australia's history. So well-preserved and authentic. An experience we are not likely to easily find at a price we could afford. Beautiful breakfast in the Grand Dining Room.

    The location was the best-literally a block from the train station. Also, you could purchase tickets for the "Hop On Hop Off" bus at the hotel and the first stop was literally across the street from the hotel. That bus circles the area stopping at all the highlights and hikes. That bus, by the way, was fantastic-a real bargain and if you're the only ones on it and it's ahead of schedule you do get a personal tour with as many stops as you want!

    The dining room was a magnificent venue but the quality of the food was not good e.g. one vegetable was stone cold, the menu was not showing the correct vegetables and the meat was of average quality. The evening meal was a bit disappointing.

    The old world charm of the premises combined with modern bathroom facilities in our room were excellent.
