Front desk staff were friendly, restaurant staff were polite but not warm or overly welcoming. The room was comfortable however the dooner cover kept seperating from the dooner, the bathroom exhaust fan didn't seem to cope with steam, the bathroom door did not close properly which meant my toddler could push open the door. Overall I would stay at QT Canberra again if there was a discount. The room was comfortable, and close to the city. The parking was expensive.

Was let down by QT Canberra. The room itself was mediocre. Bathroom was tiny and there was NO water pressure. I wasn’t able to wash my hair it was that bad! Sheets were dirty and had holes, the fitted sheet was also a flat sheet they laid across the mattress. Wifi was too slow to stream, so had to use phone data. Parking is $30 per day which is well overpriced for the area. Parking across the road (300m walk) is only $14 per day. Location is great, quick 5min walk to the main street. Lots of construction around the area, but didn’t hear it. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Stayed 2 nights in a room near the lifts which is noisy due to lack of sound proofing (bit difficult to sleep). There are no lights from the roof near the bed and felt the room is bit darker. Couldn't find internal parking for 2 days but receptionist was kind enough to allow me to park in the drop off area on the second day. Parking was bit disappointing as we picked QT Canberra beacuse it has electric vehicle charging facilities. I did online check in before midday (paid) but there was no option to book parking. Location was convenient and the lobby area was renovated. Room rates seems to be fair but the inconvenience of the facilities offset that.
