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.

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.

Lovely area of Canberra to stay, easy access off Parkes way, as London Cct is currently getting work done. Lovely view from the Balcony and beautiful weather for the weekend was amazing. Bathroom was a little dirty in the harder to reach places like the corners of the shower. Bathroom was a little cramped with the toilet hard against the wall and the roll holder being leg height. Room was generally clean except for a spider that was squashed onto the ceiling of the room. Overall, great place to stay and lobely accommodation.

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.
