The Hotel was very nice, good location and the staff very friendly. Unfortunately we were put in a room next to the lifts which was quite noisy. Our TV also did not work. The food in the restaurant was quite bland and found the pillows quite uncomfortable.

This hotel used to be go to hotel in Canberra, but it not as good as it used to be. The rooms are looking a bit tired - but the bed was still very comfortable. The breakfast is now a la carte rather than a buffet

Great location. Staff friendly and helpful. Room and view perfect. Unfortunately we were put next to the lift and the noise it made going up and down all evening and then again at around 4am was not great. We were also put in a room with adjoining door ( thin as, no sound barrier) and could hear everything that the person next door was saying and doing. Not much rest was had. If you were after a peaceful relaxing stay it’s def not the place. If you can put up with a bit of noise then may be place for you.
