Pros: The hotel was walking distance to the event we wanted to attend. The hotel was relatively close to the train station. Liked the 11/11 check in and checkout times. Cons: Hotel did not offer complimentary bottle water like other hotels we typically stay at. The room pay mini bar refrigerator did not work so I was not going to pay for warm beverages. The hotel during our 1 night stay was hosting a large event so all the hotel grill/bar/restaurant were closed to hotel guests. The bartender said there were no kitchens available for us. Also, we did not see any nearby restaurant. We needed a taxi or order a ride share to take is to a restaurant.

the Canberra QT is a lovely place to stay. At the moment it has lots of construction happening all around it which makes it a bit inconvenient but the staff well and truly make up for this with their impeccable service. We had an issue with the air conditioning not working in our room and very easily we where moved to a different room with no concerns. Great stay.

Needs a refresh

The QT is starting to feel a little tired and faded. For example, the air conditioning was noisy, the curtains let too much light in and the bathroom tiles are cracked and doesn’t have much space to leave toiletries.

Art deco to the extreme. Not a huge fan. Was a small room. The bathroom wasn’t ventilated enough, and was also small.

Beautiful hotel in a quiet area. A large construction / development work are undergoing in front of hotel but no noise bothered me at all.

Room 601 for memory. Pubic hairs left on shower floor. Bug bodies smashed on ceiling above bed. Curtains crushed. Food splattered across tv monitor from previous guest. Simply felt like the room hadn’t been cleaned properly before entry. Three dummy PowerPoints were really inconvenient too. Eager to check-out and move on.

Overall stay was good. Staff are excellent and friendly. The location is great, but access is currently limited due to light rail construction in front of the hotel. Our room was clean, but some of the furniture was old and overused and needed an upgrade.

The room was lovely with a very comfortable bed. My only small complaint was that the minibar wasn't restocked on Saturday. I'd taken a couple of drinks from the fridge and could really have done with replacements on Saturday night and Sunday morning! Otherwise, a very nice hotel, walkable to the National Museum and to the city, and the staff at reception were lovely.

We like QT hotels & this one is convenient to ANU. Nice rooms. Clean. Helpful staff. But…. I’ve stayed there twice in the past year & both times the construction noise level is ridiculous —-right outside the window Mon-Sat. Nice bar but I really wish there was a quiet space you could byo wine & snacks & chat with other guests/friends staying the same nights (without the beef for perching on the end of their bed!). I did try the level 15 ‘lounge’ but was told very directly by a staff member that is not public access - functions only. I thought I was imagining it but confirmed it with others: there is quite a weird & unpleasant smell at the receotion counter at times.
