The rooms are very dated and ugly but very clean. The bathroom was excellent - large and very clean. The bottom sheet of the bed was too small and came untucked so bunched up underneath me which was not great. Just get bigger sheets. Lastly the sound proofing was poor. There was no way you could sleep in as every door closing reverberated into the room. I didn’t expect more than what it was but if the sheets could at least be replaced it would be a start.

Well appointed, clean spacious room with a comfortable bed and great room darkening curtains. Unfortunately though the courtyard to the room was unkempt at best there were smears of dog Pooh on the pavers. The dog in the room next to me barked at 2am then again at 6am. These rooms are advertised as being pet friendly and soundproof unfortunately the soundproof is not accurate. I could hear my neighbours and movement in the hallway quite clearly. The room service was greatly appreciated as was the lovely styled room that was in keeping with the buildings history. With just a little more maintenance of the courtyard and honesty in advertising u would have given a 5 star review. I loved having an outdoor area for my dog to go out to and not have to be wondering around in the night outside. Please keep up the pet friendly rooms we will be back for sure.b

Exceptional Hotel, close to all amenities

Fabulous hotel; we always stay at the Mercure whenever we’re visiting our son, who once lived permanently in Canberra, but now he has secondments there. The Loft room is awesome; spacious and so nicely equipped with a kitchenette and downstairs living space. Breakfast we did not partake in, this time. However, it is always lovely and expansive, and the omelettes are gorgeous, cooked by a very talented female Sri Lankan 🇱🇰 chef @ 2024. A bottle shop downstairs enables us to enjoy a bottle of wine. Highly recommended - super close to the Canberra Centre shopping precinct and Lonsdale street wine bars and beautiful restaurants, as well as the magnificent War Memorial (walking distance) and Anzac Parade. Easy Uber ride to Parliament House and the hike up Mt. Ainslie is extremely close by 😊😊

Great to have an old building being used to its fullest potential. Courtyard looks amazing . Room was clean , linen was fresh , room was comfortable and good size . While there is approx 15-20 free parking spots unsecured at the front it's $28 to use their rear secured car park . The $28 extra parking fee would be a reason for me to find a hotel without a parking fee. It was 3 adults and 3 rooms . All 3 rooms were good . The breakfast only concern was when you pick up a plate to use that's been through the dish washer and it still has food remnants on its and juice glasses were similar .

We mentioned to the desk that the lip going into the bathroom is unacceptable. Yes it has carpet on it but that honestly makes it blend more. I ended up kicking it on my way in and 4 days later my bug toe is still sore. I honestly feel it could be fractured (my husband is a paramedic/ combat medic) so we know. Otherwise the stay was lovely. The grounds are pretty but the hotel is a bit tired. We would stay again however.
