The apartment was very clean. Situated in a good area and felt safe. Good parking, quiet location. Building is old but parts have been updated. Looks like they are in the process of updating some things. Reasonable price. Would stay again.

Good central position in Canberra. Fully equipped kitchen. Comfortable. Good room layout. Adequate parking. Could be improved by including a coffee table. The HDMI cable was missing from the DVD player to the TV, so it could not be used. Otherwise, we enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

We had a lovely two day stay. We stayed in a 2 bedroom apartment. The apartment was clean and easy accessible downstairs for my elderly Mum with a walking stick. The only thing I would suggest would be a mop. The water from shower ran out onto the floor even with a dreain in front.A mop would of been handy to dry the floor

Whilst the room was in reasonable condition, there were indicators of wear & tear in the bathroom and main area. This would not stop me staying here again but it’s something to be aware of. The staff interactions in reception and restaurant were very professional.
