It was a nice stay for the price. There were nice cafes just walking distance from the hotel. Just would have been nice if there was a little bit more sound proofing on the entry door.

The experience with extra charges has been really disappointing. Expedia Booking rules didn’t clearly mention anything about any extra charges. And they charged me exorbitant prices for the snacks and drinks. I will not recommend this hotel to any of my friends.

Located close to landmarks, a short 10min walk to Parliament House or 25mins to the National Gallery of Australia. Friendly and helpful staff, small but very clean / sleek rooms. Beautiful lounge on L5 and L6 has a bar (10am -10pm) with a few fireplaces ! I’ll definitely be back there again on my next Canberra visit

Tiny, but thoroughly practical rooms and the shared communal spaces were excellent which kept the in-room time to a minimum.

A great little property, the facilities were fantastic including the nice room layout and the tea/coffee facilities. The staff were very helpful and welcoming. The location is close to the parliamentary triangle which made it easy to get around southern Canberra.
